WWE Adds Main Event Title Match To Extreme Rules

We have another match. WWE will present Extreme Rules in less than three weeks and that means it is time to really get the card in gear. There are all kinds of things that still need to be set up for the show and that can make things a little more complicated in a hurry. WWE has already set up some of the matches for the show and now they have checked off another big box.

WWE has announced that Universal Champion Roman Reigns will defend his title against Finn Balor at Extreme Rules. This comes after Reigns successfully defended the title against Balor last week on SmackDown, albeit with the help of a low blow. Following the match, the start of Balor’s Demon theme played as well, hinting at the return of the Demon. WWE has not mentioned the Demon whatsoever.

This could be awesome. Check out how we got here plus what might be waiting on Reigns:

Opinion: I don’t think this is quite the surprise and I would expect the Demon to be added. Reigns has run through just about everyone close to him and doing the same thing to the Demon would be quite the line on a resume. I’d like to see the match, if nothing else for the sake of the Demon’s entrance. At the same time though, hearing commentary talking about how it is Balor’s alter ego over and over could be rather tiresome.

What do you think of the match? Do you want the Demon to appear? Let us know in the comments below.
