WWE Extreme Rules 2021: 6 last-minute predictions - Former Champion returns, Interference In Extreme Rules match, New Champions Crowned 

Extreme Rules takes over the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio on Sunday night, but just 24 hours before the show airs, there are just six matches scheduled to take place.

Despite this, there is still a lot of potential for surprises throughout the show. As of writing, the show consists of five Championship matches and one singles match between Liv Morgan and Carmella.

This means that there could be several Championship changes on the show and there's also still room for matches to be announced as part of the pre-show.

The following list looks at just six last-minute predictions for WWE's most extreme event of the year.

#6. Liv Morgan defeats Carmella at WWE Extreme Rules

Liv Morgan competes in her first singles match as part of a main card pay-per-view on Sunday night at Extreme Rules as she battles Carmella. It's been a tough few years for the former Riott Squad member, who has lost Sarah Logan and Ruby Riott to budget cuts.

Morgan has recently started a feud with Carmella and has also aligned herself with Toni Storm, who could be in her corner this weekend since Zelina Vega will be there to flank "The most beautiful woman in all of WWE."

Carmella has been on the backfoot throughout this feud and recently lost her Women's Championship match to Bianca Belair, It appears that bad luck could be set to continue for the former Champion.

#5. The Street Profits reclaim their SmackDown Tag Team Championship at Extreme Rules

The Usos and The Street Profits collide at Extreme Rules for the SmackDown Tag Team Championship once again. These two teams have been feuding for the best part of their time on SmackDown together and now The Profits will finally have the chance to take back their titles.

It has been a while since The Street Profits have held the gold since they lost the Championship to Bobby Roode and Dolph Ziggler, who then lost them to The Mysterios, who then dropped them to The Usos as part of the Money in the Bank kick-off show.

The Usos are looking to represent the family again this weekend and it would cause much more tension if the duo was unable to walk out of Extreme Rules as Champions.

#4. Alexa Bliss becomes RAW Women's Champion at Extreme Rules

Alexa Bliss challenges for the RAW Women's Championship against Charlotte this weekend at Extreme Rules and it's a match that The Goddess could easily win.

Charlotte Flair has brushed aside many of her challengers on RAW over the past few years, but Alexa Bliss brings something completely different to the table. Bliss also has Lilly in her corner and after the way Charlotte treated Charly, it's likely that Lilly will want to be part of Sunday night's match.

There is so much that WWE could do with this storyline on Sunday night at Extreme Rules, but it's been such a long time since Bliss has won a Championship that it would be nice to see the title change hands.

Throughout the pandemic era, Bliss was one of the best parts of RAW and showed that she was a fantastic actress and a Championship reign would be a fantastic way for the company to thank her for her hard work.

#3. Damian Priest retains the United States Championship at Extreme Rules

Damian Priest has been put at quite the disadvantage tomorrow night at Extreme Rules, when he takes on both Jeff Hardy and Sheamus in a triple threat match.

Priest doesn't have to be pinned in order to lose the Championship, but given the fact that the star has been on a fantastic run since he debuted on the main roster earlier this year, it's unlikely that he will drop the title this weekend.

Jeff Hardy was only pushed into this match after the WWE Universe complained about the treatment of the former World Champion, and Sheamus was the man who dropped the title to Priest, to begin with.

The likelihood is that the feud between Sheamus and Priest will continue after Extreme Rules, which means that the Champion will have to pin Hardy in order to retain his Championship.

#2. Sasha Banks returns to interfere in the SmackDown Women's Championship match at Extreme Rules

Sasha Banks could potentially make her return this weekend at Extreme Rules, after being on hiatus from the company since the build-up to SummerSlam.

Becky Lynch defends her SmackDown Women's Championship on Sunday night against Bianca Belair after The Man was able to take the title in seconds as part of her return match last month.

Banks technically still has a claim to the title since she was denied a rematch at The Biggest Party of the Summer. Recent updates claim that The Boss is cleared to make her return but the creative team currently doesn't have anything for her.

Becky Lynch's return has seemingly hindered Banks' push, but she could be the difference-maker this weekend at Extreme Rules if she is able to make her return to interfere in the match. A triple threat match between the two women heading into Survivor Series would make for entertaining viewing.

#1. Brock Lesnar returns to interfere in the Universal Championship match at Extreme Rules

The only stipulated match as part of this year's Extreme Rules pay-per-view sees The Demon challenge Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship in an Extreme Rules match.

The fact that the match has no rules means that there is room for interference. The Usos will definitely try to include themselves in their cousin's match, whilst Paul Heyman will also be at ringside despite his recent issues with Reigns.

The obvious route for WWE to take here is for Brock Lesnar to include himself in the match and send a message to Reigns ahead of their match at Crown Jewel.

An interesting swerve here would be if Lesnar made his return, F5'd Roman Reigns and then Finn Balor was able to cover him to become Champion. It could lead to a fantastic storyline if Lesnar inadvertently gave Balor the Universal Championship at Extreme Rules.
