5 things that should have happened at Extreme Rules 2018

#4 Kane and Bryan compete in a show-stealing bout

A fun ride that WWE ruined.

When Kane burst back into Smackdown Live a few weeks ago although being a Raw superstar, no one even cared as for the first time in forever; a crowd exploded when "the big red machine" came out to save his former tag team partner, Daniel Bryan from a beatdown via the Bludgeon Brothers.

So, Smackdown Live GM Paige made the match for Bryan and Kane vs. Harper and Rowan for the Smackdown Live Tag Team Titles, everyone was happy, and WWE did a good job. But last night at Extreme Rules, WWE made the odd decision of cutting the Team Hell No reunion short by having The Bludgeon Brothers assault them backstage before the match even begun.

What ensued was Kane and Bryan trying to pull off a decent match by selling their kayfabe injuries, but it fell flat as fans didn't want to see this lovable duo broken down but they wanted to see them kicking ass and arguing at the same time. Its a predictable formula but as they say 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it.' WWE should have just booked a competitive match between these two teams and had them duking it out to see who was better, and even if WWE wanted to keep the Tag Team Titles on The Bludgeon Brother, they could've booked an interference from The Miz, The Bar or even Sanity. But booking a match that was ruined from the onset wasn't a great plan.
