WWE Extreme Rules: 5 biggest mistakes WWE made at the pay-per-view

#2 The Kick-Off Show

Balor and Nakamura know how to put on a show

In a company filled with the most talented superstars in the world, it gets difficult figuring out who stands where. WWE faced a similar task as two world-renowned main eventers Finn Balor and Shinsuke Nakamura battled for the Intercontinental Championship on the Extreme Rules kick-off show instead on top of the card.

While it was somewhat a first for Balor, Nakamura has faced similar treatment in the past as he has fought for the US Championship on kick-off shows a few times.

Not only was the match announced last minute, but it also did not have enough story and hype behind it. Yet, these two stellar performers managed to make it one of the best matches of the night and leaves one wondering why two stars with such a huge fan base fight for the mid-card championship on the kick-off show.

Whatever the reason may be, we hope that this is just the beginning to their rivalry which will continue to give us the best matches of the year.
