Extreme Rules returns to the WWE Network and Peacock tonight.
The wrestling world will watch on as Philadelphia hosts the next WWE premium live event under the Triple H regime.
Besides the brutal action, the show will most likely feature some surprises and returns to shake up WWE’s TV product once again.
Right now there are a lot of names speculated to return at the show. Here’s who might be showing up on the upcoming premium live event.
9. Oney Lorcan
The man now once again formerly known as Biff Busick is now a full-time NXT coach.
While Oney will be busy at the WWE Performance Center, the star could return to the ring for WWE now he’s back with the company.
One of the most gifted brawlers in the industry, he’d definitely fit right into the Brawling Brutes.
If he was to side with the SmackDown faction, it would not be the first time that Oney and Butch would have featured in a stable together, following their stint together in the Kings Of NXT.
Perhaps Oney Lorcan is the final ingredient Sheamus needs to finally claim the WWE Intercontinental Championship.
8. Breezango
Tyler Breeze already has ties with WWE again, since returning to his position as a regular on the UpUpDownDown YouTube channel.
Fandango, who now goes by ‘Dirty Dango’, just appeared on Impact Wrestling’s Bound For Glory pay-per-view in a losing effort against Digital Media Champion Brian Myers.
The former “Fashion Police” were a super entertaining act, and there might be a chance that they return at Extreme Rules.
With Fandango’s IMPACT status currently unclear, and Breeze already returning to the company on a recent edition of WWE’s The Bump, the possibility of a Breezango appearance might not be as slim as they appear at first.
7. Bronson Reed
As previously reported by Fightful Select, there is a huge interest in bringing back Reed to WWE.
Reed, now wrestling as JONAH, received a huge push and become NXT North American Champion before he was shockingly released.
At the moment JONAH is making his mark in Japan, recently scoring huge victories over the likes of Kazuchika Okada and Jeff Cobb.
While JONAH appears to have a nice spot in NJPW, plans can always change, and the door might be open for him to get extreme tonight.
6. Elias
Just recently, Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reported that Elias is on his way back to WWE.
With the Ezekiel character seemingly being gone and Elias growing back his beard, Extreme Rules could be the perfect time to bring the musician back.
If his famous guitar riff is heard in Philly tonight, there would certainly be a big reaction from the crowd.
5. Baron Corbin
It has been a while since we last saw “Happy” Baron Corbin wrestling on WWE TV, with the star last wrestling on the September 2 edition of SmackDown.
Ever since Corbin entered a limousine seemingly belonging to WWE Hall of Famer JBL, speculation has grown about WWE’s plans for the star’s comeback.
Corbin dropping a foe with the End of Days, or a Clothesline From Hell, would be an awesome moment.
4. Charlotte Flair
The Queen Charlotte Flair has been absent from WWE program for quite some time due to personal reasons.
We haven’t seen the record-time Women’s Champion wrestle since losing the SmackDown Women’s Championship at WrestleMania Backlash in May. Perhaps it’s time for her return.
Liv Morgan’s feud with Ronda Rousey seems to be reaching a conclusion, and who better to once again challenge for a Women’s Title than Charlotte Flair?
Flair has also teased that she will be watching the Raw Women’s Title bout between Bianca Belair and Bayley, set for the upcoming show.
I know you all agree with me. Charlotte Flair might once again be championship-bound.
3. Becky Lynch
Everyone has been waiting to see The Man back on WWE TV.
Lynch had to take a break after unfortunately separating her shoulder at SummerSlam while challenging for Bianca Belair’s Raw Women’s Championship.
The former champion has recently shown off a new look, and was even being spotted at last week’s WWE Raw taping.
Bianca Belair better watch out tonight, she might get disarmed.
2. Brock Lesnar
On Monday Night Raw, WWE announced that former UFC Star Daniel Cormier will be the special guest referee for Seth Rollins vs. Matt Riddle at WWE Extreme Rules.
Cormier obviously is very familiar with former UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar.
In a recent interview, Cormier addressed rumors about a potential WWE bout against The Beast, after plans for a UFC fight previously fell through.
Surely WWE wants to cash in on such a big match, but the question remains, will Brock Lesnar leave his farm to make a WWE return?
1. Bray Wyatt
WWE first had fans scratching their heads with intriguing dark segments at live events and during TV tapings, playing ‘White Rabbit’ by Jefferson Airplane.
Since then, White Rabbit clues have been all over WWE programming, with several QR codes appearing on TV, leading fans to more clues.
The most recent clues were featured on last night’s episode of WWE SmackDown, pointing to a reveal at Extreme Rules
You have to applaud WWE for the cleverness with the clues spread across their universe.
Now it appears that the clues might actually lead to the return of Bray Wyatt.
But the question remains: What will the Eater Of Worlds do once WWE has let him in at Extreme Rules?
