WWE Extreme Rules 2019: 10 Results Predictions

4. It's A No For Samoa Joe

Let's discuss logic for a moment, which is something we absolutely never do during these predictions (sarcasm is also a rare bird). Samoa Joe lost the United States championship to Ricochet at Stomping Grounds (yup, that's a thing), so naturally he moves down the pecking order, right?

Wrong! He's in the WWE title match at the very next event. Presumably, this means Ricochet is in line to face Brock Lesnar, except he isn't because he has a mid-card belt to defend. Suppose Joe got shot of it on purpose since it was an anchor on his career.

Anyway, the point here is that the complete lack of sense which permeates this tie, as entertaining as the build has been, tells you Joe is the latest makeweight before SummerSlam. And the purpose of makeweights is to make weight, not take belts.

Prediction: Kofi keeps it coming.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
