Goldust vs R-Truth (Kickoff Match)
One of the surprisingly interesting angles of the past few weeks should be the kickoff match for WWE Extreme Rules 2017. Since the Golden Truth split with Goldust attacking R-Truth, things have been looking good between the two veterans. While the match has not been officially announced yet, the last-minute addition could be made on the day of the PPV itself.
Expect Goldust to use his new heel persona for a dirty victory.
Prediction: Goldust wins dirty
