Gotta be honest, I'm considering missing Extreme Rules tonight. My wrestling state of mind is more on watching NWA Championship Wrestling than it is watching Extreme Rules.

-- "EXTREME" Rules..... egh..
Am guessing with the lack of number of matches, talent's going to be told to eat up time or we're going to be given quite a few backstage bits - which might make this event seem like Sunday Night RAW.
But I digress.
-
I see Sasha & Rich getting the win. They're over as a tandem, plus WWE's invested in the Noam/Alicia relationship, so a loss is good fuel for this flame.
I'm predicting Neville is going to hang onto the title by a thread tonight, possibly by a cheat or countout or something of the like. With RAW's ratings so low, a title switch saved for tomorrow night would make a great deal of sense on the company's part.
Miz is absolutely walking out as the NEW IC champ. An "eye for an eye" \m/
Alexa is too hot as Champion right now (white heat, as well as yes, physically hot). Bayley's "goody 2 shoes" character needs a decline, in order to evolve. Keeping her away from the title as long as possible would help the cause.
The whole Hardy gimmick situation is up in the air, so who knows what direction that'll go. All I know is, a 2nd Tag title reign is exactly what Sheamus & Cesaro could use right now. The Hardys winning the titles at WM33 was a great novelty for the fans, and a nice spike in revenue for the company, as far as releasing Hardy merch. But with any novelty, it wears off. And that's where the duo are at a crossroads, as far as creative goes.
SO ONTO THE MAIN EVENT....
Here's kind of the scenarios I'm sensing:
IF FINN BALOR WINS: it's going to be because of the help from Gallows & Anderson doing a run in. The GB aren't involve in any angles right now, and the last thing they've done was work against Finn. This would be their "extending the olive branch" to the babyface Finn, if who should win tonight, would go on to face Lesnar (with The GB not far behind).
IF SAMOA JOE WINS: it should be a clean victory or one of the other stars, preferably over Roman (I'm not a Roman hater btw). If Joe were to make Roman tap or get the pin after a Muscle Buster, the crowd's going to pop, giving Joe momentum starting tomorrow night, when he initially calls out Lesnar. Plus, defeating Roman in this, is going to be big in the company's eyes because Joe will have just defeated their golden boy.
IF SETH ROLLINS WINS: I believe it could be via "heelish manner" (no character change, but just a subtleness to it). Roman gets the spear on Joe, Seth blindsides Roman sending him through the ropes and Seth capitalizes with the pin over Joe - possibly ending their feud before Rollins goes on to Lesnar.
IF BRAY WYATT WINS: It's unlikely he's going to, but in the matter, I'd say it's at the hands of the GB doing a run-in AGAINST Finn, allowing Bray to hit Sister Abigail and get the duke over Finn. A Brock/Bray program would be different, but interesting. POST: At GBoF (I refuse to acknowledge that name, so I'm just using initials), I can see Finn aligned with GB at this point, costing Bray the win against Brock so Brock not only holds onto the title as planned, but a Bray/Finn feud could finally commence.
IF ROMAN REIGNS WINS: The least likely to win tonight, honestly. I respect the guy and I like his in-ring routine, he doesn't hurt guys, he's smooth with every move, and he's charismatic. It's qualities like those, that has the company putting stock into him, to be penciled-in to face Brock at WM34, next year. After tonight, we'll either see a 'face vs face' feud with Seth or we may see a Roman/Joe feud ignite.

I'm fully expecting this 5-Way to go almost an hour.
If it does it has serious potential to be Amazing.

Can WWE just keep Booker T on commentary and have Otunga do the pre-show like he's doing right now?

Have the highest expectations for the CW and Tag Title matches tonight. Hopefully Aries and Neville saved their best for last. Not a clear winner in mind for this match. Seems like Neville should drop the championship to someone as hot as A Double, but he has been so awesome since his heel turn.
Expect to see Sheamus and Cesaro at full aggression tonight. The Hardy's are easy babyfaces in peril, so I see them absorbing a lot of abuse in the buildup to Jeff's Swanton off the cage.
The Fatal 5-Way should be a fun chaotic match, but I fear even if Roman Reigns doesn't win it outright, Dat Dude will be booked to look the strongest. I predict Reigns or Finn Balor become #1 contender, with interference coming at the Great Balls PPV in the Universal Championship match to lead into Summerslam.
IC Match features two guys in midcard purgatory, too good or popular to go down the card and deserve better but can't advance due to an already overcrowded main event scene. I agree with what other posters have said: Miz will probably get another IC reign using the stip in place. Angle will then issue an automatic rematch with a stip more suitable for Ambrose, but I don't believe he will regain the belt (perhaps due to outside interference). Maybe this could free up Dean for a heel turn down the road.
