WWE Extreme Rules 2019: 10 Results Predictions

Is that a gun in your pocket are you just excited to see Ricochet vs. AJ Styles?

By Benjamin Richardson /

After our little ramble to the tediously muddy Stomping Grounds last month, we're back on familiar territory with WWE in July, with the return of everybody's favourite misadvertised show, Extreme Rules.

As ever, the 'extreme' part of the nomenclature is largely irrelevant, but for once, 'rules' might mean something. Admittedly, the Universal/Raw Women's title game of tig is not up to much snuff, but then the former belt almost never is. The rest of the card, however, is if not mouth-watering, at least laced with intrigue.

In the European clash between Cesaro and Aleister Black, Kofi Kingston's WWE title defence against Samoa Joe and the trouser-raising meeting of Ricochet and AJ Styles, we have three sizable contenders for match of the night; the latter has a bloody good chance of being the company's best bout of the year.

Elsewhere, The Revival and The Usos could likewise do special things if given time, and The Undertaker's attempt to restore his legacy after last month's desert strike promises to be interesting, if not necessarily good.

If you can look past the unholy alliance of Baron Corbin and Lacey Evans, Extreme Rules could prove WWE's most surprising show of 2019. And then from this week, everything resets...

10. Gulak Attack!

We're in 'obligatory rematch' territory here (remember when that was going to stop being a thing?), and Tony Nese's chances of re-claiming the purple strap are about as likely as he was to win it in the first instance.

This has yet to be shifted to the pre-show, but obviously will be, because that's why the Cruiserweights exist.

Prediction: Gulak remains on track.
