[LionDen]

Intercontinental champion Daniel Bryan vs. Bad News Barrett has been added to the WWE Extreme Rules PPV. This feud will never end lol

With Randy Orton beating Ryback and Roman Reigns on RAW tonight, he is now the number one contender for the World Heavyweight Championship and will take on Seth Rollins at Extreme Rules.

IC will get turned into a 4 way

IC will get turned into a 4 way

I thought that but they just had a 7 man IC match at Mania, so maybe they won't.

Spoiler, stipulation announced on RAW 13th Apr in London for Cena (c) vs Rusev for the US Title at Extreme Rules PPV:

Rusev attacked Cena on RAW with a chain and declared their Extreme Rules PPV match will be a Russian Chain match

SPOILER:

Stipulations were made on RAW 13th Apr, 2015 for Seth Rollins (c) vs Randy Orton for the World Heavyweight Title match at Extreme Rules PPV.

Randy Orton and Seth Rollins were in the ring at the end of RAW to announce the stipulations for Extreme Rules. Rollins announces the RKO is banned. Orton then announces it will be a cage match. Orton attacks Rollins who escapes.

[LionDen]

I guess it will be Harper vs Ambrose at Extreme Rules.

Card Update:

With Paige winning the Battle Riyal on RAW, it seems she was suppose to be in a match with Nikki Bella for the DIVAs championship at Extreme Rules but rumor is she is going to be making a movie for WWE Studios.

So Noami's attack after the match was a way for Naomi to put herself in the front seat for the match and be more of a heel. We will have to see how this angle works out.

It makes sense to have Paige win the Battle Royal in England and have Naomi attack her afterwards to keep Paige out of the Extreme Rules match.


UPDATE:

I found a WWE.com article up concerning this issue:


Paige questionable for Extreme Rules following 'internal injuries' caused by Naomi's attack on WWE Raw

WWE.com is reporting that the #1 contender for Nikki Bella's Divas championship, Paige, is injured.

The 'internal injuries' are due to Naomi's assault on the Brit in the moments after she eliminated the former Funkadactyl and won the battle royal to become Bella's challenger on last night (April 13, 2015)'s episode of Monday Night Raw from London's O2 Arena. Naomi, frustrated that he string of wins since WrestleMania didn't earn her a shot at the title, beat Paige to the floor and slammed her into barricade repeatedly.

The Diva of Tomorrow was announced as facing her Total Divas co-star at Sunday, April 26th's Extreme Rules pay-per-view (PPV), but that may be changed due to these "injuries".

In the real world, this is an angle designed to get more heat on Naomi's heel turn, and possibly to write Paige off so she can film the movie Santa's Little Helper for WWE Studios.

We'll get right back to you with a medical report and prognosis for recovery as soon as we get it from WWE Creative, Cagesiders.

For those wondering about the Russian Chain Match for the WWE United States Title between Rusev and John Cena at Extreme Rules, WWE's website wrote the following:

"Adding insult to injury, Lana then revealed that she had successfully negotiated the new terms of the previously announced match, which will see Rusev and Cena tethered at the wrist by a length of heavy-duty chain. Living up to Extreme Rules' reputation, both Superstars will be allowed to use the chain at their discretion, whether using it as a whip or to add weight to a punch, as Rusev demonstrated on Raw."
