11 HUGE WWE Extreme Rules 2018 Predictions You Need To Know

10. Finn Bálor Vs. “Constable” Baron Corbin

Extreme Rules 2018

The absolute state of this.

Once again, salvation is sought in the potential sartorial elegance of Finn Bálor, because analysing this utterly woeful programme and match only vindicates its insipid existence.

What are either of these men doing with their lives? Why is 'Constable' Corbin so keen to bother Kurt Angle when theoretically he should be helping him make the best show possible to impress their feared oppressor Stephanie McMahon? Why has he targeted Bálor - a beloved babyface the show could theoretically promote as its top star and challenger to Brock Lesnar from his flimsy pedestal of power? And why is Bálor directed to gurn like the f*cking mug he's become in the year since returning from injury?

Vince McMahon's lone direction to The Rock as he prepared to debut at the 1996 Survivor Series was that "[you] can't smile enough". He'd seen green in Rocky Maivia's pearly whites, and g*damn it that 'blue chipper' was going to smile! It's a good job Finn's gear has been so colourful these past few months because he's been utterly transparent save for the mesmerisingly awful grin.

He'll get the last laugh here too, beating Corbin because it's Baron f*cking Corbin. He's slightly more of a loser, what reason can there be for sacrificing Bálor to his nonsensical cause?
