#2 Randy Orton must interfere the WWE Championship match

Yes, Randy Orton has no business at Extreme Rules as he does not have a match at the pay-per-view. Nevertheless, rumors have been floating that The Viper is next in the line for WWE Championship, and he might dethrone the current champion, Drew McIntyre.

If the rumors are true, it would be a great move because Orton has not won the WWE Championship in three years. With his current momentum and the magnificent character work that he has shown, it would be a no-brainer to put the belt on Orton's shoulder. Orton as the WWE Champion could help resuscitate the ratings, which has fallen steadily.

In order to set up the match at SummerSlam, Orton should interfere in the WWE Championship match. A distraction from Orton might open up a possibility for Dolph Ziggler, and the match could become more competitive than expected.

Given McIntyre's impressive reign, he is a favorite before heading into Extreme Rules, so he is unlikely to lose the belt. Even if McIntyre retains the title successfully, Orton could ambush the champion, sending a clear message to McIntyre and announcing himself as the next challenger.
