WWE Extreme Rules 2016: Full match card analysis and predictions

Superman vs. Phenomenal

The idea of having an Extreme Rules pay-per-view in the current PG Era is not something which is easily digestible. The fact that Extreme Rules is inspired from the legendary Extreme championship wrestling makes it a responsibility of WWE to honor the defunct promotion at least to a certain benchmark if not completely.

They will have to keep this in mind when they bring out the 2016 edition of Extreme Rules. WWE has booked eight matches for the show and every match, except two carries a gimmick with it. It would be interesting to see how WWE fares after their solid outing at Payback and as we are just hours away from the pay-per-view, here is the complete match card analysis and predictions.

Baron Corbin vs. Dolph Ziggler (No-DQ match)

Baron needs a win

The pre-show bout between Baron Corbin and Dolph Ziggler is booked as a no-disqualification match. this feud already had a pay-per-view bout at Payback but the addition of the stipulation is bound to make this one an exciting outing for the fans. Ziggler and Corbin clearly know how to get the attention of the crowd and the limitation of being in the pre-show would not be a problem for them.

There are rumors floating around suggesting the WWE has no apparent plans for Corbin going forward so the result of this match is not going to be an important one for both wrestlers. But on a personal note, Corbin deserves to get this one as he lost at Payback.

Prediction: Baron Corbin wins.
