11 HUGE WWE Extreme Rules 2018 Predictions You Need To Know
9. Raw Tag Team Championships - “Woken” Matt Hardy & Bray Wyatt Vs. The B-Team
A month ago, this match potentially making a pay-per-view with minimal build and a pair of dork punchlines for challengers moved your writer to write an entire article on WWE jokes that long ceased to be funny.
To the company's credit, they built a feud instead of rushing to the match, but took their one idea and beat it half to death before a punch between the wrestlers was thrown. Worst still, it was with a trope as dilapidated as Matt Hardy's compound boat - the cosplay parody. It was funny too, on week one of four.
On it went though, dragging its a*se like a dog on a carpet with weekly singles matches filling the time between then and this Sunday. The feud peaking with the original pastiche created a new problem though - the suddenly-credible nerds were back to being not credible again. Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel can't beat Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt because they are literally losers. Hangers on. Chancers. 'The B-Team', a subversion of a how a wrestling gimmick is supposed to work featuring two performers that are actually crap rather than, say, Breezango; two talented tusslers hamstrung by an occasionally hilarious gimmick.
Time to end this madness, by keeping the titles on the two nutcases.
