10 Booking Steps For WWE Raw (May 16)
2. Dean Ambrose Challenges Chris Jericho To A Strap Match
As of yet, WWE haven't announced which kind of match Dean Ambrose and Chris Jericho are going to have at Extreme Rules. The pay-per-view is a challenging one in the 'PG Era', because it's actually perfect for blood and greater levels of violence. WWE can still achieve the latter, but they have to book the right stipulations.
After he had torn up Jericho's supposedly super-expensive ring jacket on last week's program, Ambrose fell victim to his rival's conniving nature on SmackDown. Left helpless in a strait jacket, he was beaten brutally by Jericho. The idea of keeping his enemy close could provide WWE with the right kind of match for Extreme Rules.
Bragging in the ring, Jericho would be blindsided by an irate Dean Ambrose. As soon as he had beaten his foe down, Ambrose then takes the microphone and sends out the challenge for the pay-per-view. If Jericho wants to 'tie things up', why don't they have a Strap Match at Extreme Rules?
Then, there would be no getting away for the heel. Strap Matches can be slow affairs, but there's enough excitement there between the pair to make it work.
