11 HUGE WWE Extreme Rules 2018 Predictions You Need To Know

2. Roman Reigns Vs. Bobby Lashley

Bobby Lashley and Roman Reigns will go on last at Extreme Rules and that's f*cking bonkers. But so is just about everything Roman Reigns does anymore.

He is the biggest victim of a system so profoundly broken that it can literally no longer provide its most basic of functions. 'The Big Dog' can't stop audiences from going walkies no matter where he goes on the card, with his recent brawl with Jinder Mahal sending toilets and merchandise stands alike into meltdown just as the arena carpark did when the early-leavers bailed out of his Backlash clash with Samoa Joe.

If Lashley's got a long enough memory, he'll recall the night he held his newly-won ECW Championship aloft inside an (Elimination) Chamber of horrors. That was December To Dismember, a pay-per-view depth WWE probably couldn't sink to for trying. But it really is as if they are trying, and those torrid times will come flooding back to big Bobby the moment he sees his name alongside Roman's at the bottom of the backstage whiteboard.

Boos, exit queues and a rising gets to lose. This may be Extreme Rules, but sadly there's nothing remotely out-of-the-ordinary about this scene at all.
