#4 Sheamus and Cesaro win
If the Hardy Boyz winning is one of the possibilities here, then Sheamus and Cesaro winning has to logically follow. Based on everything we just said about the Hardys and their merch moving skills and connection with the fans, obviously, Shesaro winning is less likely. But it’s still not impossible.
WWE doesn’t always make what seems like the clear decision. We’ve seen some baffling title changes before, so this one probably wouldn’t even crack the top 50. So what would be the benefits of Sheamus and Cesaro winning clean? There aren’t many, but there are a couple.
First, with their recent heel turn, it would give us something we’ve never seen before. We’ve seen Sheamus and Cesaro as tag team champions, but never as heel champions. And we know exactly how different the two reigns could be just by looking at the Usos. They’ve totally reinvented themselves as heel champs and are highly entertaining.
Second, it could be the catalyst for the Hardys to break up, which is almost guaranteed to happen at some point. With Matt and Jeff providing just as much, if not more value as singles competitors, this tag title reign is sure to end in the somewhat near future. It’s not necessarily likely to end this Sunday, but it’s better to end a run too soon than too late as it risks the team going stale.
Could we see Sheamus and Cesaro escape or pin the Hardys at Extreme Rules? It’s not the most likely possibility, but it’s certainly on the table.
