Corey Graves puts Kofi Kingston’s recent performances into words perfectly: “I do not know how he does it”. Four matches in three nights. Ridiculous. This will for sure be the most memorable stretch of Kofi’s career. And no Dolph Ziggler in the WWE Championship match at Extreme Rules, ensuring that Kofi will have a one-on-one title match with Samoa Joe.
There’s a very strong possibility The New Day may steal the show at Extreme Rules with Daniel Bryan and Rowan since they won a non-title match this week.
Alexa Bliss has to be pleased with Nikki Cross, at least for now, because she will be getting a title opportunity at Extreme Rules thanks to Cross. A significant development in the story is bound to happen at the pay-per-view, however, most likely leading to a SummerSlam bout between the two. The Miz may also end up having his rivalry with Shane McMahon culminating at SummerSlam despite the fact that it seems to be slowing the trajectory of his career and causing him to lose momentum. WWE appears to be maintaining his state of limbo by incessantly pushing Shane McMahon and trying to establish him as the new version of Vince.
Side Note: It’s worthy to note the possibility of Aleister Black wrestling Cesaro at Extreme Rules, especially considering that he has not had a match on SmackDown Live since April 15. On a supplemental note, which brand superstars are exclusive to no longer seems to matter with the implementation of the Wild Card Rule.
I only bring that up because these two superstars are apparently on different brands. The Wild Card Rule has created an essential brand unification, which is positive in the light that superstars will be free to challenge any other superstar in the WWE without having to consider which brand they are exclusive to.
