WWE Extreme Rules 2022 Picks & Predictions

Strap Match: Karrion Kross Vs. Drew McIntyre

Winner: Karrion Kross

This match will be very good and hard to watch. Strap matches are hard-hitting, and for me hearing the strap hit skin always makes me cringe. These two dudes are going to beat the hell out of each other. I have Kross winning, but that’s not all I have happening. White Rabbit aka Bray Wyatt, makes his appearance during this match and takes out Drew. I don’t know if he’s going to build a stable with Kross/Scarlett or if he’s just targeting Drew so they can write him off TV for a while so he can heal up from nagging injuries. The White Rabbit has to be the last thing we see Saturday night as Extreme Rules goes off the air, and the internet will be ablaze as the Eater of Worlds, Bray Wyatt returns to take back over the WWE. Chuck is over it, but we aren’t. Drew comes back heel as he wants.

WWE Raw Women’s Championship Ladder Match: Bianca Belair (c) Vs. Bayley

Winner: Bayley

It’s about time for Bianca to lose the belt. We all know it. The fact I have Liv retaining, somehow, means some belt has to change. They can’t do another “Premium Live Event” with no title changes. Bayley and Damage CTRL have been red hot since they showed up at Summerslam, and I expect with the help from her girls that, Bayley will recapture the WWE Smackdown Women’s Championship.

Fight Pit Match with Daniel Cormier as Special Guest Referee: Seth “Freakin” Rollins Vs. Matt Riddle

Winner: Matt Riddle

After Monday on Raw, I feel like it’s pretty obvious that US Champion Bobby Lashley could get involved in this match after Rollins attacked him Monday. But regardless, Riddle needs a win here, and since they pump up the Fight Pit as Riddle’s match, he needs to win it. Even with outside interference, if that is the way they choose to go, Riddle needs a win at all costs, and for that reason, I’m going Riddle here.

WWE Smackdown Women’s Championship Extreme Rules Match: Liv Morgan (c) Vs. Ronda Rousey

Winner: Liv Morgan

Is it horrible that I really don’t care about this at all? Like, I’m over Ronda Rousey, and Liv just doesn’t do it for me. Unfortunately, I think Charlotte is due to come back and insert herself into this and win the belt, I’m sure. She’s on pace to be the 3489424th time Women’s champion. It’s fine, though, because this feud has been a huge bore. Somehow, Liv will retain setting up a triple-threat match for Crown Jewell.

I Quit Match: Finn Balor Vs. Edge

Winner: Finn Balor

With help from The Judgement Day and maybe a turn by AJ Styles, I see Balor winning as a must here. It would arguably be the biggest win of his career. Yes, even more than the one-day WWE Universal championship reign you mark. Balor needs this more than Edge does, Judgement Day is rolling right now, and a loss for Edge doesn’t hurt him at all. I’m expecting a great match, with Balor winning with some help. I’m hoping for an AJ Styles heel turn and hope he finally joins The Judgement Day.

6 Man Tag Good Old Fashioned Donnybrook Match: IMPERIUM Vs. The Brawling Brutes

Winner: IMPERIUM

This match is going to be a BANGER!!! These two groups are among the hardest-hitting groups in all of professional wrestling. Imperium is my pick here. I’m conflicted about who comes out of Smackdown with the IC Championship between GUNTHER and Sheamus, but I think Imperium gets the win here. I assume GUNTHER will retain on Smackdown, but damn, is Sheamus white hot right now. Pun intended. You’re welcome.
