What exactly is WWE planning at Extreme Rules?

It's no secret that Bray Wyatt is one of the most popular and intriguing entities that WWE has to offer, but they seem to always pass him up in favor of someone else. In fact, between Goldberg defeating The Fiend clean in two minutes at Super ShowDown and the swamp match at Extreme Rules not being for the Universal Title, it's clear that WWE wants Wyatt out of the title picture.

Of course a lot of that is due to the WWE Universe going insane every time someone beats The Fiend, but couldn't the company just work around that? Furthermore, shouldn't WWE welcome that kind of popularity and just reward him with the title at Extreme Rules?

In the end, it's hard to blame WWE for not wanting their Universal Title picture held hostage by a cult favorite, but why not give him one more title shot? At least that way, they don't have to deal with the backlash of another loss, Wyatt can show what he can do with the belt and fans will be happy for the time being.
