It’s never too early to start planning ahead. The WWE calendar is starting to fill up with some of the pay per view dates already being announced for later in the year. Some of these are several months down the line but in some cases, WWE probably knows what some of the matches on those cards will be. In this case, WWE has already advertised some of those in advance.
According to PWInsider.com by way of 411mania.com, WWE announced two matches for July’s Extreme Rules pay per view at tonight’s Monday Night Raw event in Philadelphia. At tonight’s event, WWE advertised Seth Rollins vs. Drew McIntyre and Roman Reigns vs. Baron Corbin. Of course these plans could be changed in the four and a half months before Extreme Rules, which takes place on July 14.
Reigns and Rollins were busy on this week’s Monday Night Raw. Check out one of the biggest moments of the show:
Opinion: The first thing that comes to my attention here is the fact that Corbin is still near the top of the card several months from now. For the life of me I don’t get the point of having him pushed this hard but for some reason it just keeps happening for months on end. I don’t get it and I don’t know how many other fans do either, yet it seems to be the future too.
