The New Plans. Venue Announces Updated Extreme Rules Lineup After Superstar Shakeup, Universal Title Match Included

It’s never too early to start planning ahead. Things are very different in WWE after last week’s Superstar Shakeup. The rosters have been switched around quite a bit and it’s not clear where things are going to be going in the next few weeks as people start to find their new footing. What might be clear though is where things are going in about three months on a certain night.

The website of the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia is advertising three matches for the July 14 Extreme Rules pay per view. Now listed for the show are AJ Styles vs. Drew McIntyre, Roman Reigns vs. Randy Orton and Seth Rollins defending the Universal Championship against Baron Corbin. These early cards are of course subject to change. The venue had already announced matches for the show but these now reflect the reset rosters.

Could this set up a title match? Check out Rollins yelling at Corbin last year:

Opinion: I can’t say I’m surprised as WWE is going to push Corbin to the moon whether the fans like it or not. He’s been presented as one of the main villains on the show for months now and while I’m not sure, I can’t say I’d be shocked at the idea of a Corbin title run this year. WWE sees him as this great villain and no amount of reactions have seemed to stop that train.

Which of these matches interests you the most? Will Corbin ever be World Champion? Let us know in the comments below.
