Extreme Rules preview

Read on for my ideas on booking tonight's Raw and Smackdown Live supershow.
-- Kickoff:
- Almas vs. Cara:
Almas. No question.

- SAnitY vs. New Day:
I think Deleters vs. B-Team should be here instead, with the Deleters retaining for a babyface moment to lead into the show. But as it is, SAnitY gets the win.

-- Extreme Rules:
- Deleters vs. B-Team:
Deleters. I've enjoyed Axel and Bo, but Matt and Bray vs. the Authors of Pain at Summerslam is the way to go.

- B. Bros vs. Hell No:
I can't help but think the Hell No reunion is a setup for Kane putting Bryan over at Summerslam in a final rub to Bryan before going into being mayor. I have no complaints with that. I absolutely see the concern with Kane being a wrestler while also (presumably) being mayor-elect, but it would just be a few Tuesday nights on the road for TV, and they can do some pre-tapes if necessary. Anyway, Bludgeon Brothers vs. SAnitY should be over huge in Brooklyn.

- Finn vs. Corbin:
I really like Finn, and wish he wasn't being wasted here. How about Finn wins and challenges Braun for the briefcase at Summerslam? I can't hurt the Brooklyn audience with a rematch of this.

- Alexa vs. Nia:
I'm going with Alexa taunting Ronda into hitting her, getting the DQ to lead to a triple threat at Summerslam. Nia deserves a spot there, and has history with both.

- Carmella vs. Asuka:
James Ellsworth, from his cage at ringside, throws a Carmella T-shirt at Asuka. Asuka gets the key from the ref at ringside and kicks James' ass in the cage. James stops her from getting back in the ring before ten.

- Jeff vs. Shinsuke:
Shinsuke, whether Jeff is 100% or not. Shinsuke has really dropped since the Rumble and Mania.

- Dolph vs. Rollins:
It's too soon to take the title from Dolph, and too soon to split him from Drew. Dolph ekes out a win at the end with Drew putting his foot on the ropes.

- Braun vs. Owens:
As much as I'd love to do the spot of Braun throwing Owens through the door for the inadvertent win, they did something similar at GRR. Strowman takes it.

- AJ vs. Rusev:
AJ, to lead to AJ vs. Joe at Summerslam.

- Reigns vs. Lashley:
Honestly at this point I'm fine with Lashley winning and facing Brock at Summerslam. Move Roman to facing Dolph for the IC Title.

More wrestling coming up.
