The Horror Show at Extreme Rules | Predictions

Hi and welcome back to the blog, It's been a while since I last posted but I'm back again with more content. If you want to catch up on my previous reviews, then feel free to do so, let's talk about The Horror Show at Extreme Rules. I've always thought the Horror Show was called Monday Night RAW. I'm only joking. 

This event was previously scheduled to take place in San Jose, California, however, due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, this event will follow suit with previous events and take place at WWE's Performance Center in Orlando, Florida. It's predictions time for the scheduled matches. Here we go!

SmackDown Tag Team Championship - Tables Match
The New Day (c) vs. Cesaro & Shinsuke Nakamura. 
Spoiler Alert: This match was made after Cesaro defeated Big E on SmackDown and the challengers named the stipulation backstage. In regards to who is winning on Sunday, here is my prediction. Predicted Winners: and still SmackDown Tag Team Champions. The New Day.

United States Championship Match
Apollo Crews (c) vs. MVP
MVP unveiled the new look United States Championship on a past episode of RAW, at first glance the title looked terrible, not sure if it was to do with the way the camera was placed on the title, however, it looks like a decent title to me now, continuing with MVP, he has been acting like he is the champion, my prediction for Sunday is that even with Bobby Lashley in his corner, the challenger will be unsuccessful in the match. Predicted Winner: and still United States Champion. Apollo Crews.

Eye for an Eye Match
Rey Mysterio vs. Seth Rollins
This match is obviously going to be cinematic with some CGI type imagery added to it also, Rollins has already "injured" Rey's eye on RAW and I believe the "Messiah" will complete the set and then face Dominic in the future. Predicted Winner: Seth Rollins.

Wyatt Swamp Fight
Braun Strowman vs. Bray Wyatt
The following contest is a non title match, because of that factor, I expect Braun to win against the "Wyatt Family" version of Bray here after previously defeating "Funhouse" Bray at Money in the Bank. "The Fiend" awaits! Let Him In! Predicted Winner: Braun Strowman.

SmackDown Women's Championship Match
Bayley (c) vs. Nikki Cross
It's great to see Nikki get an opportunity for the SmackDown Women's Championship, however, she will not win the match considering who we all expect the Champion to face next month. Predicted Winner: and still SmackDown Women's Champion. Bayley.

RAW Women's Championship Match
Asuka (c) vs. Sasha Banks
The person we all expect Bayley to face next is Sasha. The Boss takes on Asuka here which, for me, is the match of the night. These two are amazing wrestlers and they will deliver in the ring on Sunday. It's a difficult prediction to make, I think Sasha will lose here, get frustrated and upset, the friendship with Bayley on screen will start to crumble resulting in losing the tag team championships which sets up Sasha and Bayley at SummerSlam. Book it!  
Predicted Winner: and still RAW Women's Champion. Asuka.

WWE Championship Match
Drew McIntyre (c) vs. Dolph Ziggler
I've always thought Dolph is one of the most underrated wrestlers in the company, his work in the ring is top quality, he just hasn't been used properly by the creative team, I believe he will carry on his great work against Drew despite it being in a losing effort before the champion goes on to face Randy Orton next month, in the words of Paul Heyman, that's not a prediction, thats a spoiler. Predicted Winner: and still WWE Champion. Drew McIntyre.

That is for the predictions, there may be other matches announced via Twitter, enjoy Extreme Rules (if you're watching) I'll be back with the review-ish on Monday afternoon. Thanks for reading. Have a great weekend.
