WWE Extreme Rules: 8 Last-Minute Rumours You Need To Know

5. Cesaro Isn’t Really Black’s Opponent

Yeah quick thank you to WWE here for forcing me to tear up my early draft of this script which was almost 50% populated by rumours of Black's opponent. We had Randy Orton (because why not), we had Sheamus (because why not), we had Ali (because why not), and we had Wyatt because why not and he was doing a 'let me in gimmick' as Black was doing a 'who's at the door' one).

In the end though WWE's throbbing, stonking, sneering, snarling, veiny hard-on for spoiling their own surprises persists and, on the go home show, it was revealed that it's going to Ceasro... OR IS IT?

Yes, probably, but the possibility of it being a swerve persists and the idea that the Swiss Suit-erman (thank you) will never make it to the ring has done the rounds online. One of the names mentioned above could prove to be popular replacements, but a new surprise altogether could also be on the cards.

I wanted it to be Rusev but, then again, I also wanted to not have to rewrite this article on Wednesday morning so, there you go.
