My predictions for Extreme Rules 2015

Rusev vs. John Cena (c)
in a Russian Chain Match for the WWE United States Championship

Rusev has finally decided to cash in his rematch clause...with force. Lana has provided the stipulation: John Cena and Rusev are tied to each other with a long, metal chain...and that thing can be used as a devastating weapon. In order to win, one of these competitors much touch all four corners of the ring consecutively. Who will rise above: Cena...or Russia?

My prediction: Cena will probably retain.

Bad News Barrett vs. Daniel Bryan (c)
for the WWE Intercontinental Championship

About a month after losing the WWE Intercontinental Championship to Daniel Bryan, Barrett wants his rematch. We haven't heard much from Bryan or Barrett, strangely, and rumors are rampant outside of WWE programming that Daniel Bryan may or may not be injured. How is this going to play out?

My prediction: Bad News Barrett is becoming a six-time Intercontinental Champion at Extreme Rules.

Randy Orton vs. Seth Rollins (c)
in a Steel Cage Match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship

As per Seth Rollins' stipulation of banning the RKO, if Randy Orton performs the RKO, he will be disqualified.

Kane is designated the Guardian of the Gate, and controls who gets in or out.

On the April 13th Raw, both Orton and Rollins had a chance to name a stipulation for their match. All they had to do was win their respective matches. Orton beat both Tyson Kidd and Cesaro (no thanks to Kane, who restarted it from a singles match when Kidd interfered), and Seth Rollins forced Kane to lie down for him when he didn't want to face Dolph Ziggler. At the end of the show, both men leveled the playing field with their stips: Seth Rollins banned the RKO for the match to take away Orton's most devastating weapon, and Randy Orton surrounded the ring with a steel cage so that J&J Security or the rest of The Authority couldn't intervene. To top it all off, Triple H rewards Kane for his loyalty to The Authority - and for putting up with Rollins acting like a spoiled brat even after being made into a champion - by making him "Guardian of the Gate," giving him control of who gets in or out. How is this going to end?

My prediction: Rollins will retain. I'm somewhat expecting Orton to slip up when he has the thing won and accidentally use the RKO...and on someone other than Rollins. Either that, or Kane screws Orton and helps Rollins again.

Naomi vs. Nikki Bella (c)
for the WWE Divas Championship

Paige became the new #1 contender after the recent retirement of AJ Lee and the elimination of Naomi (who was really ticked afterwards). But just when Paige was etting another shot at Nikki Bella's Divas title...almost. Naomi has finally had enough, and she's injured Paige after getting sick and tired of waiting for a shot at being the champ, especially after beating Nikki in two non-title matches, and now she's taken her place in the title match. With a new attitude and an aggressive streak, will Naomi get her wish, or will Nikki retain?

My prediction: Naomi's going to win this somehow.

Sheamus vs. Dolph Ziggler
in a Kiss My Arse Match

Sheamus is back...and he's apparently tired of guys shorter than he is being the big dogs. He's already taken his anger out on Daniel Bryan, and now he's going after Ziggler next. But Ziggler has proven himself as someone who is not to be underestimated, and he's saved both Bryan and Neville from a beating from The Great White. Now they square off at Extreme Rules...and the loser has to kiss the other guy's ass.

My prediction: Sheamus is probably going to win this.

Roman Reigns vs. Big Show
in a Last Man Standing Match

Roman Reigns has had enough of Big Show getting in his business...but Big Show is still a deadly giant who wants to put Roman down...and Roman can't be put down easily. Now one of these two men have a chance to do that for ten seconds in a Last Man Standing match. Can Roman make Show eat his own words? Or will Big Show make good on his promise?

My prediction: Roman Reigns will probably win this one.

The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Big E)
vs. Tyson Kidd and Cesaro (c)
for the WWE Tag Team Championships

Tyson Kidd and Cesaro are defending the titles again, this time against the much-unliked New Day.

My prediction: Kidd and Cesaro will retain.

Dean Ambrose vs. Luke Harper
in a Chicago Street Fight

Dean Ambrose hopes to get revenge on Luke Harper for putting him through a steel ladder at WrestleMania 31 and costing him the Intercontinental Championship. This time, anything goes...

My prediction: Dean Ambrose will win this one.

Layin 'da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for April 23, 2015

Seth Rollins and J&J Security (Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble) start the show. Rollins is glad that Orton got all the RKO's out of his system, because Orton won't be hitting him with it any time soon. Rollins also insists he doesn't need anyone else's help, especially an "aging former monster" like Kane. Kane shows up as if on cue, and tells him he could be either his friend or his foe on Sunday night. Rollins reminds Kane of what Triple H told him on Raw and tells him to stick to being a suit. Kane then says that since he and Rollins are talking like adults, he asks Rollins lay down for him like he did for Rollins, reminding him that he's in charge when Triple H isn't around and threatens to reach down his throat and pull his guts out if he refuses. Rollins reluctantly lays down, then Kane laughs it up, revealing it was all a joke in a way not unlike Randy Orton. His next action isn't a joke, however: he puts Rollins in a match against Dean Ambrose, and it's right now. When Ambrose shows up, though, Luke Harper shows up right behind him. Ambrose goes after Rollins, but Harper isn't far behind and Dean Ambrose eventually gets a 4-on-1 beatdown until Roman Reigns makes the save.



Before the next match, Sheamus tells Dolph Ziggler and Neville that he'll bring a ladder on Sunday so they won't have to stand on their toes to look at him. Sheamus and Bad News Barrett get jumped as a result.

Dolph Ziggler and Neville beat Sheamus and Bad News Barrett.

Ryback beats Rusev by disqualification after Rusev hits Ryback with a steel chain. He then proceeds to perform an Accolade on Ryback with the chain.



Seth Rollins and J&J Security (Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble) find Luke Harper backstage. Joey Mercury is the one to get Harper to listen to them, and it's pretty clear Harper is raring to go. He tells Rollins to stay out of his way.

The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods, Big E) want Tyson Kidd and Cesaro to embrace positivity...and to become tag team champs.

Kofi Kingston beats Cesaro thanks to the distractions by Big E and Xavier Woods.

Randy Orton shows up, as a steel cage hangs above the ring. The cage lowers once he gets inside. Randy then calls Seth Rollins a "stupid bastard" for thinking banning the RKO will make it easier for him to win, especially with the steel cage surrounding the two of them. Randy plans to give Rollins the beating of a lifetime. Rollins shows up, saying that so-called beating isn't going to happen, that Orton has anger problems, and that he's so much better inside and outside the ring. Orton responds by saying that as soon as he gets back to the back, he's going to RKO anyone he see backstage during the break, and that he'll eventually RKO Rollins before the end of the night.



Dean Ambrose and Luke Harper brawl before their match can even start.



Seth Rollins and J&J Security (Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble) are backstage when they are nearly scared half to death by The Prime Time Players (Darren Young and Titus O'Neil) as they look over their shoulders for Randy Orton. Rollins chews out a backstage worker who thinks this is funny before running into Triple H. He trusts Triple H to do the right thing concerning Kane, but as for Randy Orton, he wants more security. Triple H tells him "it's only one guy." Rollins isn't too thrilled.



The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Big E) beat The Lucha Dragons (Sin Cara and Kalisto) by count-out after Xavier Woods grabs hold of Sin Cara's legs underneath the ring, keeping him from getting back in the ring before the count of ten. The New Day get a shot at the WWE Tag Team Championships at Extreme Rules, but after the match, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods eat an RKO from Randy Orton. Big E retreats before he suffers the same fate.



Fandango beats Curtis Axel.



Triple H shows up. He says that Seth Rollins will take the WWE into the future, but it is now time to find the next Seth Rollins. On June 23rd, Tough Enough returns, and anyone - anyone - can send in a 60-second video to WWE.com to prove they have what it takes. Only ten men and five women will win a slot on the show, and only one of those fifteen can become a WWE Superstar or Diva. Kane then shows up, stating that he's giving his two weeks' notice after Triple H says he is behind Seth Rollins. Triple H offers to handle this with him in the back like men, but Seth Rollins shows up and says "Let him quit. To hell with him." This starts some bickering between Kane and Rollins, with Kane calling Rollins out for acting as entitled as he does. Triple H stops the arguing, sides with Kane and makes him "Guardian of the Gate" in Rollins' Steel Cage match against Randy Orton at Extreme Rules. Rollins is ticked off.



Triple H catches Seth Rollins and Kane arguing again, and has to remind Kane that he's no longer fire and brimstone due to his Director of Operations duties. Kane feels otherwise and walks away. Triple H then tells Rollins to show a little respect and appreciate Kane's efforts, and puts him in the match against Dolph Ziggler that he should have had last week.



Nikki Bella guests on commentary for the next match.

Naomi beats Brie Bella.



Heath Slater tells Erick Rowan that he's taking John Cena's open challenge for the United States title at catering...then gets RKO'd through a table by Randy Orton.



Roman Reigns comes out, but he'd rather fight than talk and proceeds to call out Big Show. Instead of Big Show, however, he gets Bo Dallas, who now sports a beard and a goatee, who proceeds to verbally crap all over him and call him "Outback Jack in kevlar" and "The Tim Tebow of the WWE." He soon gets Superman Punched and Speared, and Reigns says that while Big Show chickened out tonight, he has no choice on Sunday...and that we can "Bolieeeeeeeve that."



Sheamus beats Zack Ryder after Dolph Ziggler saves Ryder. During the match, Sheamus is on the microphone the whole time and mocks both Ryder and the Albany, New York crowd.

John Cena shows up. He showed Rusev he means business and knows the WWE Universe cringes whenever he says the champ is here. He knows Rusev wants to destroy, hence why he chose the Russian Chains match stipulation at Extreme Rules. Cena, however, plans to put him back down again. He then throws down the open challenge, to see if anyone can step up and become a future big name Superstar. Surprisingly, it's answered by none other than Kane.

John Cena retains the WWE United States Championship against Kane.



Triple H glances at Kane as he heads away from the ring, as if to imply "I told you so."

Renee Young interviews The Miz, who verbally trashes Damien Mizdow. When Renee Young announces that Byron Saxton is standing by with John Cena, The Miz is ticked.

As Byron Saxton interviews John Cena, Cena is suddenly attacked from behind by Rusev, who has a chain in his hand and proceeds to put him in the Accolade with it until a referee pulls him off of Cena.



The Miz beats Damien Mizdow to retain the rights to the Miz brand after Summer Rae rakes Mizdow's eyes from outside of the ring. After the match, he gets a surprise RKO from Randy Orton.



Dean Ambrose and Luke Harper are now in a Chicago Street Fight at Extreme Rules.

We get another cryptic promo from Bray Wyatt. Who is he talking about?



Ryback beats Adam Rose. After the match, two Rosebuds, one dressed as a banana and another dressed as a hot dog, attack Ryback only to get Shell Shocked.



Renee Young mentions that J&J Security (Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble) joked about him with Seth Rollins on Twitter to Kane when she interviews him. Kane barges into Triple H's office and confronts Rollins, and Rollins apologizes to Kane for putting him through a whole bunch of crap, saying that it's embarassing when Kane keeps saying he helped him win the Money in the Bank contract. Rollins heads to the ring along with Mercury and Noble, and Randy Orton isn't too far behind.



Ryback takes on Rusev this Thursday on SmackDown.

Seth Rollins beats Dolph Ziggler when Ziggler is distracted by Sheamus. After the match, Rollins talks about how he'll become the man when he wins against Randy Orton on Sunday. Triple H shows up in mid-sentence to proclaim that Rollins will win Sunday, but Rollins takes the microphone and decides it's a good idea to tick off Kane yet again by saying that making him guest gatekeeper is completely unnecessary and useless. Kane shows up to confront Rollins one more time, but J&J Security (Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble) and Triple H hold him back as the cage comes down around Rollins...only for Randy Orton to be in there with him. Rollins eventually gets an RKO at the end of the night, as promised, to end the show.

Dario Cueto makes Sexy Star vs. Super Fly a mask vs. mask match, calling Sexy Star saving Super Fly from Pentagon Jr. last week an "act of mercy" and making it a Lucha de Apuestas bout to ensure that there is no mercy between them.

Sexy Star beats Super Fly in a Mask vs. Mask match, causing Super Fly to unmask. After Sexy Star removes the mask, the respect is shortlived as Pentagon Jr. rushes in, knocks Sexy Star out of the ring and breaks Super Fly's arm before Sexy Star can make the save.

King Cuerno's partners for the Trios Title Tournament are Cage and Texano.

Prince Puma retains the Lucha Underground Championship against King Cuerno with the help of Hernandez, which Puma doesn't exactly want. After the match, Cage and Texano brawl with Johnny Mundo and Hernandez.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for April 6, 2015

Michael Cole is not on commentary and is replaced by Byron Saxton for the week.

Seth Rollins, Kane and J&J Security (Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble) are in the ring, with Big Show next to his Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal trophy outside near the commentary table. Rollins says that Triple H and Stephanie McMahon are not here tonight. He then brags about his World Heavyweight Championship win, Big Show's Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal win and Triple H's win against Sting. Show puts Rollins on a pedestal, as does Rollins himself. As Kane speaks, Randy Orton shows up and brags about the RKO he beat him with at WrestleMania before saying he should get a rematch for the World Heavyweight Championship. He takes some cheap shots at Kane's Director of Operations position as he does so, then Kane tells Orton there are others worthy of a title shot. He makes a Triple Threat match for tonight to decide a #1 contender for Seth's title at Extreme Rules: Roman Reigns vs. Ryback vs. Randy Orton. All three participants will have singles matches prior to the three-way dance, and Randy's is next...against Kane. As soon as this match is announced, Rollins is livid.



Randy Orton beats Kane by disqualification after Kane hits Orton with a steel chair. Orton almost gets a revenge RKO, but Kane flees.



Kane yells at a returning Brad Maddox, and Rollins yells at Kane for "not pulling his weight." Kane reminds Rollins that he is World Heavyweight champ because of him, and says giving him a worthy opponent is best for business. He then plays Rollins' bluff by saying Rollins is scared of him Rollins says he isn't, and that Kane should step down as Director of Operations, even going so far as to threaten to tell Triple H and Stephanie McMahon about this when they get back. Kane then puts Rollins in a match...and it's up next.



Seth Rollins finds out his opponent is Neville, who he takes lightly until he gets kicked in the gut.

Seth Rollins beats Neville. After the match, Rollins hits Neville with another Curb Stomp.



John Cena shows up. After saying that the site of tonight's Raw is celebrating "WWE Day," he issues the open challenge. Stardust answers the challenge.
