WWE Extreme Rules 2016: 5 Near-Guarantees & 3 Possible Surprises

8. Near-Guarantee: The New Day Will Retain The WWE Tag Team Championship

Let's weigh up the competitors here. On one hand, you have The New Day, champions for almost nine months and more over with WWE fans than Ellen Degenerous is with bored housewives.

On the other hand, the Vaudevillains, a team inserted into this match on a technicality because the tag that is actually interesting was ruled out due to Enzo Amore's injury. Gee, I wonder who is going to win this contest?

No disrespect to the Vaudevillains, who were a staple on NXT and over with the smaller, older audience, but they don't have what it takes to survive on the main roster let alone be the faces of the division. They may be able to achieve short-term success as faces but in their current heel status, the Vaudevillains will only ever appeal to very select group. Pure wrestling ability isn't enough to get the job done on the main roster anymore.

Expect The New Day to retain their titles without doubt. The trio is still at the peak of their game and have the WWE Universe in the palm of their hands; no way are they about to take a major loss to a team with little backing.
