John Cena vs. Ryback, WWE Championship, Last Man Standing Match: Cena wins and Ryback is saved from doing a real job. Again.
Triple H vs. Brock Lesnar, Steel Cage Match: Lesnar has to win here...right?
Alberto Del Rio vs. Jack Swagger, I Quit Match for the #1 Contender to the World Championship: WWE isn't giving up on Del Rio yet, so he'll get the shot to face Dolph Ziggler next. Without Ziggler, this match becomes a lot less interesting on a couple levels.
Team Hell No vs. Seth Rollins & Roman Reigns, Tag Team Tornado Match for the Tag Team Championship: The right opponents and the right time to end Team Hell No's reign. The Shield wins.
Sheamus vs. Mark Henry, Strap Match: Would love to see Henry win here, but I think it'll be Sheamus.
Kofi Kingston vs. Dean Ambrose, United States Championship Match: Ambrose wins, making all members of The Shield champions.
Chris Jericho vs. Fandango: Not sure what is particularly "extreme" about this match. Fandango wins again.
Big Show vs. Randy Orton, Extreme Rules Match: Orton.
I assumed AJ vs. Kaitlyn would be on the card, but we're already up to seven matches. We'll see as the week progresses.

John Cena vs. Ryback, WWE Championship, Last Man Standing Match: This should officially mark the end of Ryback as any character of consequence. Cena retains and Ryback never sees a main event again.
Triple H vs. Brock Lesnar, Steel Cage Match: Brock wins, because they need to start building SOMEBODY up for Summerslam. But you can bet they're going to spend 10 minutes post-match stroking H's ego and talking about what a WARRIOR he is!
Alberto Del Rio vs. Jack Swagger, I Quit Match for the #1 Contender to the World Championship: Swagger concussing Ziggler has to be the last straw for him, I would think. Del Rio kills him dead and Swagger gets sent to Jobberville where he belongs.
Team Hell No vs. Seth Rollins & Roman Reigns, Tag Team Tornado Match for the Tag Team Championship: The Shield gets rebuilt in force after that embarrassing loss to Cena. They win the titles here and start defending them under Freebird rules.
Sheamus vs. Mark Henry, Strap Match: I really don't know why they keep hesitating to pull the trigger on Henry, because he's the surest bet this company has right now. Henry wins and HOPEFULLY he'll finally get his PPV main event payday next month.
Kofi Kingston vs. Dean Ambrose, United States Championship Match: It's tempting to put all the straps on Shield guys, but I think they'll be just fine with only the tag titles. Kofi retains by DQ when all the Shield guys kill him dead.
Chris Jericho vs. Fandango: Jericho gets his win back, because 50/50 booking is EXTREME!
Kaitlyn vs. AJ, Divas Championship Match: The right thing to do would be to put the belt on AJ and let her and Dolph parade around with dual titles, but somebody in this company has a hard-on (possibly a literal one) for the Bellas, so that's not happening. Kaitlyn retains.
Randy Orton vs. The Big Show: I'm ASSUMING this is on the card in some capacity, otherwise why waste our time with these two guys week after week? Orton wins.
PRE-SHOW: The Miz vs. Cody Rhodes: I don't fucking care. Miz wins.
John Cena vs. Ryback, WWE Championship, Last Man Standing Match: Cena wins in a total SHOCK!!! Ryback takes his hard tumble down the roster and eventually lands on TNA.
Triple H vs. Brock Lesnar, Steel Cage Match: Brock wins, barely, and then gets destroyed, along with Heyman, after the match.
Alberto Del Rio vs. Jack Swagger, I Quit Match for the #1 Contender to the World Championship: Del Rio in a matter of minutes, if not seconds. Welcome to Jobberville Mr. Swagger, your room is ready.
Team Hell No vs. Seth Rollins & Roman Reigns, Tag Team Tornado Match for the Tag Team Championship: The Shield has to win after the loss to Cena. If not, then just break them up.
Sheamus vs. Mark Henry, Strap Match: PLEASE give it to Mizark. The man deserves it.
Kofi Kingston vs. Dean Ambrose, United States Championship Match: Ambrose wins because if he fails, they can give it back to Kofi in a couple of months.
Chris Jericho vs. Fandango: Jericho. Although even as a big fan of his, I do not know why he would win.
Kaitlyn vs. AJ, Divas Championship Match: AJ.
Randy Orton vs. The Big Show: I hate Orton so The Big Show.
John Cena vs. Ryback, WWE Championship, Last Man Standing Match: Cena wins, neither one looks good in the process. Nothing to see here
Triple H vs. Brock Lesnar, Steel Cage Match: Brock winning is the right choice and my pick.
Alberto Del Rio vs. Jack Swagger, I Quit Match for the #1 Contender to the World Championship: Alberto Del Rio convincingly, personally I hope it's an 8 second special.
Team Hell No vs. Seth Rollins & Roman Reigns, Tag Team Tornado Match for the Tag Team Championship: The Shield in what should be a good to great match
Sheamus vs. Mark Henry, Strap Match: Sheamus wins though Mark Henry really deserve the win here. This could also be slobber knocker of the year good though. The red welps on Sheamus's white skin will look good on camera as these two smack each other around like pinatas. Quoted for truth
Originally posted by It's False I really don't know why they keep hesitating to pull the trigger on Henry, because he's the surest bet this company has right now. Henry wins and HOPEFULLY he'll finally get his PPV main event payday next month.
Kofi Kingston vs. Dean Ambrose, United States Championship Match: Kofi retains by DQ. I think putting the US title on Ambrose would actually hurt him with the way the secondary champs are treated. Doubt the 'E would know how to elevate the title in Ambrose (or anyone elses) hands.
Chris Jericho vs. Fandango: Predicting a BS finish such as a double DQ or countout at EXTREME RULES, because were the WWE, swerve IWC & this fued must continue... because where do either of them go next?
Kaitlyn vs. AJ, Divas Championship Match: AJ Lee probably by nefarious means
Randy Orton vs. The Big Show: Orton wins. Sombody turns on the fire sprinlers to wake everybody in the crowd back up.
PRE-SHOW: The Miz vs. Cody Rhodes: Miz wins because Cody can be entertaining when pushed and we can't have that.
John Cena vs. Ryback, WWE Championship, Last Man Standing Match Cena loses due to Shield interference.
Triple H vs. Brock Lesnar, Steel Cage Match Lesnar has to win.
Alberto Del Rio vs. Jack Swagger, I Quit Match for the #1 Contender to the World Championship Swagger wins to validate this push. Rio doesn't need to chase the title (and he's a better IC champ), and Ziggler needs to beat him for closure after the injury.
Team Hell No vs. Seth Rollins & Roman Reigns, Tag Team Tornado Match for the Tag Team Championship Shield.
Sheamus vs. Mark Henry, Strap Match The loser of this match may suffer the most momentum damage of the entire PPV. Where does either guy go after this? Sheamus wins.
Kofi Kingston vs. Dean Ambrose, United States Championship Match Ambrose
Chris Jericho vs. Fandango Holy God, I don't care. Fandango is showing us nothing, and Jericho is wasted on this. Fandango.
Kaitlyn vs. AJ, Divas Championship Match Kaitlyn needs it more.
Randy Orton vs. The Big Show Orton because he has the new movie.
PRE-SHOW: The Miz vs. Cody Rhodes The Miz because he has a new shirt.
"To be the man, you gotta beat demands." -- The Lovely Mrs. Tracker
John Cena vs. Ryback, WWE Championship, Last Man Standing Match Cena. Would it be legal for The Shield to physically hold down Cena so he can't get up? Would be an interesting way to go (especially if Ryback does the "if you can't beat 'em join 'em" routine), but I've changed my mind at the last minute and going with the standard-bearer of Cena.
Triple H vs. Brock Lesnar, Steel Cage Match Lesnar.
Alberto Del Rio vs. Jack Swagger, I Quit Match for the #1 Contender to the World Championship Del Rio.
Team Hell No vs. Seth Rollins & Roman Reigns, Tag Team Tornado Match for the Tag Team Championship The Shield.
Sheamus vs. Mark Henry, Strap Match Henry.
Kofi Kingston vs. Dean Ambrose, United States Championship Match Dean Ambrose.
Chris Jericho vs. Fandango Jericho evens it up.
Kaitlyn vs. AJ, Divas Championship Match AJ takes it home.
John Cena vs. Ryback, WWE Championship, Last Man Standing Match: Cena, because taking the title off of him this early for Ryback is a bad idea.
Triple H vs. Brock Lesnar, Steel Cage Match: Lesnar, because now that HHH has got his big win at WrestleMania, we can get back to the business of building Lesnar up for the big tentpole matches they want to use him for.
Alberto Del Rio vs. Jack Swagger, I Quit Match for the #1 Contender to the World Championship: Swagger. The worst thing about Ziggler's injury is that it prolongs keeping these two guys in the World Heavyweight Title scene.
Team Hell No vs. Seth Rollins & Roman Reigns, Tag Team Tornado Match for the Tag Team Championship: The Shield wins the tag titles, because that's the next place they can go, really. I think this'll make the tag title division much more interesting, too, to have strong heel champs.
Sheamus vs. Mark Henry, Strap Match: Sheamus.
Kofi Kingston vs. Dean Ambrose, United States Championship Match: Ambrose. Let's give The Shield all the belts. Again, this will help the US Title to give it to Ambrose, and make The Shield some real badasses at the next level.
Chris Jericho vs. Fandango: Jericho, because Fandango has lost a lot of momentum.
Kaitlyn vs. AJ, Divas Championship Match: AJ.
Randy Orton vs. The Big Show: Orton.
PRE-SHOW: The Miz vs. Cody Rhodes: I'd love to see Rhodes get the win here, but it won't really matter longterm either way. Rhodes.
Cena Lesnar Del Rio Shield Ambrose Henry AJ Orton Fandango, since Jericho is apparently leaving pretty soon if not immediately after this PPV

John Cena vs. Ryback, WWE Championship, Last Man Standing Match: Cena ... always Cena
Triple H vs. Brock Lesnar, Steel Cage Match: I've played this Game before ... Triple H
Alberto Del Rio vs. Jack Swagger, I Quit Match for the #1 Contender to the World Championship: Swagger
Team Hell No vs. Seth Rollins & Roman Reigns, Tag Team Tornado Match for the Tag Team Championship: Shield ... cuz tonight's all Shield
Sheamus vs. Mark Henry, Strap Match: Henry wins; becomes Cena's next challenger
Kofi Kingston vs. Dean Ambrose, United States Championship Match: Ambrose
Chris Jericho vs. Fandango: Fandango because of that one night over a month ago that the crowd FANGANGOED and we'll continue this route until July when Vince realizes he's not over and he loses to Tensai in a quick squash.
Randy Orton vs. The Big Show: Big Show ... Orton has less direction that a blind man being led by a Jack Russell.
Henry vs. Sheamus: Mark Henry deserves the win here. Sheamus does nothing for me.
Fandango vs. Chris Jericho: Fandango, as Jericho continues his "pin me, pay me" tour.
Team Hell No vs. The Shield: Shield in the match of the night
Kofi vs. Ambrose: Ambrose, which shows how much faith WWE has in him to be a big star.
AJ vs. Kaitlyn: AJ
Orton vs. Big Show: Orton, as he starts to move back towards the title picture for SummerSlam.
Triple H vs. Brock Lesnar: So I'm clear, Lesnar's two losses have come after he's been slammed into something steel. So the obvious move would be to put yourself in a ring surrounded by it? Makes no sense, but I think Lesnar wins anyways.
Cena vs. Ryback: I'll go with a few others and say Ryback by Shield-ference. Ryback reveals he's a member of the Shield, which gives the group all the titles. Him joining up with the group that beat him up for months doesn't make sense, but, it's wrestling.
Originally posted by geemoneyRyback is saved from doing a real job. Again.
Huh? Ryback has been cleanly pinned at the last two PPVs.

John Cena vs. Ryback, WWE Championship, Last Man Standing Match: John Cena
Triple H vs. Brock Lesnar, Steel Cage Match: Lesnar
Alberto Del Rio vs. Jack Swagger, I Quit Match for the #1 Contender to the World Championship: After the Swagger punt kick to Ziggles, the months of dead crowd reaction and the pending court case Jack ain't long for this world. Del Rio wins.
Team Hell No vs. Seth Rollins & Roman Reigns, Tag Team Tornado Match for the Tag Team Championship: Believe in the Shield
Sheamus vs. Mark Henry, Strap Match: It just hit me that a very pale Irishman will be whipping a very black man in a strap match in 2013.... kinda doesn't sit right with me. Henry wins.
Kofi Kingston vs. Dean Ambrose, United States Championship Match: Kofi Kingston, post-match Shield beatdown commences.
Chris Jericho vs. Fandango: Fandango
Big Show vs. Randy Orton, Extreme Rules Match: I really don't care.
AJ vs. Kaitlyn, Diva's Championship match: AJ (I really think the calibre ofthis match will surprise people at the PPV)
Miz vs. Cody for the aww who gives a shit? It's the Miz on his own Sunday Night Heat purgatory. Miz wins.
