Finn Bálor vs. “Constable” Baron Corbin
Bryan Heaton: If you only follow this feud on social media, it’s highly entertaining. But watching it on Raw has been tedious. Childish banter, nursery rhymes, short jokes — it hasn’t been pretty. Bálor is the superior athlete, but Corbin is the more imposing presence. The Constable is still acclimating to his new-ish position of authority, so I’d say he wins the match to further impose his will on Kurt Angle and the roster.
Christopher Jeter: Sadly, I think this is just the first match in a feud that will probably run two months too long. Therefore, I’ll pick Corbin to win using some underhanded tactics.

Trace Johnson: This match was thrown together last minute and really doesn’t need to be on the main card, but the winner of this all depends on how long the WWE wants to push the issue between these two. I’ll say Bálor gets the win over Constable Corbin although don’t be surprised either way.

Matt Hardy & Bray Wyatt vs. The B-Team, Raw Tag Team Championship Match
Bryan Heaton: It’s safe to say at least one of the Rotunda brothers is leaving Extreme Rules as one half of the Raw Tag Team Champions.
Wait, I have to actually pick one? Ugh. As fun as the B-Team‘s run has been of late (and despite the same joke being beaten into the ground over and over, it has been fun), there’s no way they’ll be champions. Not yet, at least. Comedy acts can only go so far, and with SummerSlam around the corner, it’s doubtful that such a team would be on top heading in. The Deleters of Worlds will retain, and move on to The Revival.
Christopher Jeter: I’ll pick Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt to win in decisive fashion. There’s no need to take the titles off of them right now and even if it was, Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel aren’t the team that should beat them. The B-Team are entertaining, but they still come across as undercard jokes (if the tongue-in-cheek name didn’t give that away).
Trace Johnson: Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt haven’t had much competition lately, but The B-Team has emerged as threats to their reign, entertaining ones at that. However, The Deleters Of Worlds should retain their Raw Tag Team Championship in this one.
