WWE Extreme Rules 2017: 10 Things That Must Happen

4. The Hardy Boyz Retain The Raw Tag-Team Titles

Sheamus and Cesaro have blossomed into one of WWE's best tag teams, and that's something nobody could have guessed when Mick Foley awkwardly pushed them together last year. Their success, combined with the well-received return of The Hardy Boyz, makes this WWE's biggest tag bout imaginable right now.

There's no need to change who has the Raw Tag Team Titles, because Matt and Jeff are fine with the straps. Their heel opponents will inevitably get them at some point, but right now should be all about recapturing that Hardy nostalgia that older fans missed so much in WWE. Extreme Rules needs a win for The Hardyz.

Sheamus and Cesaro won't look weak if things are booked correctly either. This is a Steel Cage affair after all, so it's not as though they're meekly surrendering in a straight up tag match. The Hardyz picking up the win would give Sunday's show a big babyface pop moment that may be missing elsewhere.
