To play devil’s advocate, though, the WWE has delivered some of its most entertaining moments of the last two years in the past month since SummerSlam.
There are other ways for the WWE to stun fans at Extreme Rules and perhaps, save any shocker for Reigns to drop his title for his upcoming bout with Brock Lesnar.
My point being, the most surprising thing the WWE could do tonight is book Bálor to win though, again, it’s just not a scenario that seems incredibly likely.
While WWE won’t directly address its growing rivalry with AEW, there definitely seems to be a feeling that these title changes on Monday Night Raw, and insane match-ups and recent signings, are a result of that rivalry.
