WWE Extreme Rules: 8 Last-Minute Rumours You Need To Know
3. Kofi’s Injured And Thus Has To Lose
Not many people would have had all 3 of the big title winners from WrestleMania still holding their belts by SummerSlam down in their "Fairly Reasonable Predictions About WWE In 2019" blogpress posts but, well, here we are. Granted none of them have had overly exciting feuds in the time since, but Kofi vs Joe looks like being the pick of the bunch.
We'll get to the Seth/Becky situation in a bit (and OH BOY will we get to the Seth/Becky situation) but there are already some worrying reports that Kofi is currently carrying an injury and will, thus, have to step aside. Reports revealed that the reason he was taken out of in-ring competition on this week's TV was to allow them to assess the damage.
WWE have let out that it's absolutely fine but, naturally, that's what they always do. If Kofi is working hurt and has reached a point where he'll need recuperation time, moving the title onto Joe wouldn't not be an unpopular decision. Joe somehow remained teflon to his Styles feud last year, and the countless championship matches he lost in the process, and seems like the next natural holder of the belt on the blue brand.
