WWE Extreme Rules 2011 Predictions

Hello again friends! Tomorrow night is the 1 night of the year where the WWE goes extreme! So with that here is my preview of WWE Extreme Rules 2011!

Falls Count Anywhere Match: Cody Rhodes vs. Rey Mysterio

As with just about all of the matches on this card this will most definitely be the blowoff here but not after a great series of matches from these 2! Cody Rhodes scored perhaps the win of his career by beating Rey Rey at WrestleMania while Rey Rey evened the score with a victory over Cody on the April 22nd edition of Smackdown in London England! So who wins this blowoff? Well even though Cody clearly needs the win more I'm going to go with Rey Rey to win this fight for 2 reasons. 1. Cody won at WrestleMania and 2. Rey always excels in Falls Count Anywhere Matches! Should be a great opening fight to get the crowd going early!

Winner: Rey Mysterio

Tag Team Country Whipping Match: Jerry "The King" Lawler and Jim Ross vs. Michael Cole and Jack Swagger

Believe it or not I am going to go on the record here and say that this fight right here will be the worst fight of the night! Why? Because King and Cole put on perhaps the worst match in the long and illustrious history of WrestleMania for 1! 2. Jim Ross is not a wrestler but then again neither is Michael Cole so that's a recipe for disaster there! But since I have to pick a winner here I am going with J.R. and The King to win this fight as I could see my friend Derek Ferreira's theory that Jack Swagger turns on Michael Cole becoming a reality and you know what now that I think about it I could actually see that happening!

Winners: Jerry "The King" Lawler and Jim Ross

Last Man Standing Match: Randy Orton vs. CM Punk

Last month at WrestleMania these 2 put on the 2nd best fight of the night that match was so good! This time around they just might do that again because as we all know Last Man Standing Matches in the WWE are absolutely positively crazy! Don't believe me look up Triple H vs. Randy Orton from the 2007 No Mercy and John Cena vs. Edge from the 2009 Backlash! Anyways with this being the blowoff for this feud I will go with the Viper to win this match because just like Falls Count Anywhere Matches are made for Rey Mysterio Last Man Standing Matches are made for Randy Orton! Oh by the way he won his 1st WWE Championship by defeating Triple H in this very match! Just saying!

Winner: Randy Orton

Ladder Match for the vacant World Heavyweight Championship: Christian vs. Alberto Del Rio

Originally Alberto Del Rio was supposed to face Edge in a rematch from WrestleMania. However 3 weeks ago on Raw Edge made perhaps the most shocking announcement in WWE history when he was forced to announce his retirement while in his prime by the way due to a spinal injury! So because of that the World Heavyweight Championship became vacant for the 1st time since late 2004 early 2005! As a result of that Alberto Del Rio needed a new opponent to face at Extreme Rules in a Ladder Match! That opponent turned out to be Christian thanks to Christian winning a 20 man battle royal on the April 15th edition of Smackdown! OK last month at WrestleMania The Undertaker and Triple H not only put on the greatest match in the history of WrestleMania but they also put on the match of the year for WWE in 2011 thus far! However if there is 1 match that could top that 5 star instant classic this just may be the fight to do it! Why? Because Christian helped make the Ladder Match a household name for 1! Don't believe me just look up the 1st few TLC matches all of which were instant classics oh by the way and also look up his most recent ladder match against Shelton Benjamin for the ECW Championship at the 2009 TLC PPV! The Ladder Match for me is the most fun and entertaining of all the gimmick matches in WWE and I fully expect this 1 to steal the show and then some! So who wins? Well there's really only 1 way to go here and that is Alberto Del Rio got drafted to Raw last week while Christian did not and because all 3 participants in the match that I think will be the main event of this PPV are still all on Raw that would leave Smackdown without a World Champion if Del Rio should win but because the WWE Championship is already exclusive to Raw that will mean Captain Charisma should and will win this match after what I think will be the best fight of the night and then some and another contender for WWE match of the year for 2011!

Winner: Christian

No Count-Out, No Disqualification, Loser Leaves WWE Match: Layla vs. Michelle McCool

If the Tag Team Country Whipping Match wasn't on this card then I probably would've called this fight right here the worst fight of the night as usual. Now originally this was supposed to be a loser leaves Smackdown match but then this past Friday on Smackdown it was changed to a loser leaves WWE match! If the original stipulation had stuck then I easily would've gone with Michelle to win this fight! However with the recent rumors of Michelle McCool leaving WWE coming out that means I now have to go the other way! Meaning if these rumors are indeed true then Layla would have to win this match. Personally I hope that these rumors are not true because if they are then this would be a big blow to the divas division on Smackdown and WWE altogether. But since these rumors appear to be true then I guess have no choice but to go with Layla to win this fight!

Winner: Layla

Triple Threat Steel Cage Match for the WWE Championship: The Miz vs. John Cena vs. John Morrison

Originally it was supposed to be Miz vs. Cena vs. R-Truth in this match. However that all changed on the April 18th edition of Raw in London England when John Morrison goaded R-Truth into putting his spot on the line in a match which Morrison won putting him in and Truth out! Because of that R-Truth turned heel by attacking Morrison after the match! Now on to this match! Miz has been champion for an impressive 5 months now which is a lot longer than what I originally expected but anyways! Cena made a vow that his match with The Rock at next year's WrestleMania 28 will be for the WWE Championship and for that to happen then Cena will have to win the belt and hold it all the way until April 1 2012! Morrison has never been WWE Champion and if he were to win it then that would certainly make up for having to team with Snooki at WrestleMania 27 need I say more? So who wins? Well to be quite honest I am just about the biggest Morrison mark there is and I would love nothing more than to see this talented, fun, and entertaining superstar finally get his moment in the sun and oh by the way if he does then I will mark out like a crazy man on my Tony Rant blog tomorrow night! But sadly I don't see that happening as I see R-Truth coming out and getting involved thus costing Morrison his moment in the sun. So that leaves Miz and Cena. Wow tough to call! But in the end I am going to go take a chance here and say that Miz's awesome title reign will continue just a little bit longer as I think he will find a way to win this match in what I think will be the 3rd best fight of the night!

Winner: The Miz

This looks like a very strong card as I expect the Christian/Del Rio Ladder Match to steal the show with the Orton/Punk Last Man Standing Match, the Triple Threat Steel Cage Match, and the Mysterio/Rhodes Falls Count Anywhere Match to be the highlights of the show! While sadly I expect the diva fight to be OK at best and the Tag Team Country Whipping Match to stink up the joint as the worst fight of the night! Also since there's only 6 matches on this card I wouldn't be surprised if WWE sneaks at least 1 impromptu match in there! Overall this PPV card is so strong that I could possibly see this PPV as the best WWE PPV of 2011 that is how good this card looks to me!
