11 HUGE WWE Extreme Rules 2018 Predictions You Need To Know

5. Intercontinental Championship - Dolph Ziggler Vs. Seth Rollins (30-Minute WWE Iron Man Match)

Theoretically, Seth Rollins and Dolph Ziggler should be going an hour in their 'Iron Man' match, not least because the moniker was coined in WWE lore to mean the full grisly hour. This is neither a call for that nor a cry for help though - there's been quite enough of these two scrapping of late, and really that's why this stipulation is so redundant.

The pair went 32 minutes on an edition of Monday Night Raw - a show that requires far more of a content injection than this already-bloated supercard. This match will likely be peppered with falls too, with 'The Architect' and 'The Show-Off' sure to be permitted to take shortcuts in order to provide something as entertaining as their original title switch.

There's a lingering feeling that the company want this to be epic - which it almost certainly won't be - but a dramatic few falls before a nailbiting conclusion should make it match of the night by a mile, with the show's biggest pop saved for a returning Dean Ambrose should he choose Sunday to even the sides for his 'brother' against Dolph and sidekick Drew McIntyre.
