8 HUGE WWE Extreme Rules 2021 Predictions You Need To Know

1. A Brock Shock?

'The Beast' feels like a banker for Extreme Rules, if only to provide another taste of what to expect at Crown Jewel when he crosses paths with Universal Champion Roman Reigns.

Brock Lesnar's return as a babyface has been oddly thrilling so far. He looks and feels like the first proper threat to 'The Head Of The Table' since his August 2020 return, and could well squash him should Vince McMahon's terrifying whims act out. It wouldn't be in keeping with the current character to have Brock batter an already-beaten Finn Bálor, but he could cause the issues that lead to the aforementioned cheap finish if that's the route WWE wish to take. 'The Big Dog' dodging an attack one last time seems the way to go too.

In the meantime, he can be the biggest sh*t disturber in company history - not least with Paul Heyman still to confirm exactly who he's associating with now.
