WWE Raw Extreme Rules 2017 Spoilers

The WWE Extreme Rules 2017 pay-per-view will take place June 4, 2017 at the Royal Farms Arena in Baltimore, MD and will be a Raw-exclusive event.

Follow along here for spoilers and information on the event's card, lineup of matches and news regarding the pay-per-view.

Here are my predictions for the 2017 WWE Extreme Rules PPV.

Check back for Extreme Rules 2017 results and review coverage here on June 4th.


No. 1 Contender's Fatal 5-Way Match: Seth Rollins vs. Samoa Joe vs. Roman Reigns vs. Finn Balor vs. Bray Wyatt

Yeaaaah you can tell this wasn't the plan for Extreme Rules, as Rollins/Joe, Wyatt/Balor and Reigns/Strowman would have been separate matches. I'm really hoping this is a match Roman Reigns wins, as I'd like to see him face Brock Lesnar at Great Balls of Fire just to get it out of the way instead of building up to that point at WrestleMania 34. Cut to the chase and save me the 12 months of not having a Universal Championship on Raw just to do a match at Mania that nobody wants to see. Give Roman Reigns the belt and have him defend it against Braun Strowman whenever he's ready to return from his injury.

But....they probably won't do that, will they?

PREDICTION: Seth Rollins wins.


Raw Tag Team Championship Steel Cage Match: The Hardy Boyz (c) vs. Sheamus and Cesaro

The heel turn revitalized Sheamus and Cesaro to a certain extent, but I still don't think they'll win the titles. The steel cage stipulation should be interesting, as it doesn't necessarily sway one way or the other in the storyline with people having outside interference come into play, so I'm curious to see what they do to utilize the environment.

PREDICTION: The Hardy Boyz retain the titles.


Raw Women's Championship Kendo Stick on a Pole Match: Alexa Bliss (c) vs. Bayley

I wouldn't have guessed this particular stipulation, would you? But hey, what the hell, why not, right?

PREDICTION: Alexa Bliss retains through nefarious means, possibly with some help from Nia Jax.


Intercontinental Championship Match: Dean Ambrose (c) vs. The Miz

This isn't exactly a gimmick match so much as it has the stipulation where if Dean Ambrose gets disqualified, he will drop the title. That makes you wonder if the whole reason for it is to put the belt on The Miz in a way that doesn't actually have him defeat Ambrose. Then again, isn't that just the obvious course of action?

PREDICTION: Dean Ambrose retains...eh....actually, I'm not so sure about that.


Cruiserweight Championship Submission Match: Neville (c) vs. Austin Aries

Part of me was kind of hoping this would be a Fatal 4-Way with TJP and Gentleman Jack Gallagher, or at least some gimmick match, but whatever. These two are entertaining together and this should be the end of their feud, so if they can go out with a bang, I don't really care which man wins.

PREDICTION: I keep thinking Aries will win the belt and Neville keeps retaining, so at this point, I guess Neville holds onto it.


Noam Dar and Alicia Fox vs. Sasha Banks and Rich Swann

This seems very much like a filler match, but you know what, I'm down for it. It makes sense for Dar and Fox to team up and since they're feuding with Banks and Swann, why not?

PREDICTION: Noam Dar and Alicia Fox win unless they're meant to split up after this.


Goldust vs. R-Truth

Pre-show, maybe?

PREDICTION: Goldust wins.

Something with the Enzo Amore storyline / or / Apollo Crews vs. Kalisto

If we have room for one more filler segment, I think it can be either of these two ideas filling in the spot.

PREDICTION: Let's see if any of these actually become matches first.
