With five competitors in the Extreme Rules main event, there are five different possible outcomes the match can take - as well as five different roads to Great Balls of Fire and five different championship matches fans could see at that show.

This article has already discussed Bray Wyatt's non-chances of winning, and given that Brock Lesnar versus Roman Reigns is rumored to be the main event of WrestleMania 34, it's hard to imagine Reigns picking up the victory here - so let's turn our attention to Seth Rollins.

Despite Rollins's failed attempts to capture the Universal Title last fall, another run at the belt would feel fresh. He's not far removed from his win over Triple H at WrestleMania, which capped off an impressive return from an ill-timed injury. Plus, Rollins versus Lesnar is a relatively fresh match - while they did fight at Battleground 2015, the match had no finish thanks to The Undertaker's interference.

Rollins would make a good opponent for "The Beast," but his bad blood with Samoa Joe is still boiling. That may be enough to put a cork on his title aspirations for now.
