WWE’s Excessive Guidelines pay-per-view is as soon as once more dwelling as much as its identify.
After the 2021 model had only one match with an excessive guidelines stipulation, Triple H has put collectively a card the place each bout comes with one. Add in that the present is in Philadelphia — the house of ECW — and that we might see a payoff to WWE’s “White Rabbit” clues with a possible Bray Wyatt return and followers could possibly be in for fairly an evening on Saturday at Wells Fargo Middle (8 p.m., Peacock).
Listed below are Submit professional wrestling columnist Joseph Staszewski WWE Excessive Guidelines 2022 predictions:
Imperium over The Brawling Brutes (Good Outdated Style Donnybrook Match)
We've seen Gunther vs. Sheamus and Butch and Ridge Holland vs. Giovanni Vinci and Ludwig Kaiser. None of those matchups dissatisfied and placing all six of them along with few guidelines must be equally or much more entertaining. With no place actually left to go along with this feud, and with Gunther being the Intercontinental champion and Imperium the newer faction with extra upside, I count on Imperium to place this all to relaxation.
Finn Balor over Edge (I Give up Match)
It’s onerous to get too many first-ever matches between two opponents with this a lot historical past in professional wrestling, however that's what we're getting from Balor and Edge. There's a lot working underneath the floor right here as Balor changed Edge in The Judgment Day faction he created. The group knocked Edge out of motion in storyline and has been terrorizing him and the Mysterio household – just lately having Dominik be a part of The Judgment Day as a part of a heel flip.
As a result of it’s simple to see this going to a Survivor Collection-type match, I feel WWE can get artistic with the end right here. Perhaps the remainder of The Judgment Day – Dominik specifically – will get Rey Mysterio in a spot to significantly injure him and drive Edge to stop to maintain it from occurring. A.J. Types might doubtlessly intrude in a approach that helps Edge win. Even so, Balor and his group are lastly gaining momentum and there's no cause to cease it now.
Karrion Kross vs. Drew McIntyre (Strap match)
Kross has been taunting and stalking McIntyre ever since his return to WWE, and botched fireball from Scarlett apart, it’s been effectively carried out and intense. A strap match isn’t one we see usually in WWE, so Kross and McIntyre have a reasonably clean canvas to work with.
Sadly for the Scotsman, his second handed for now along with his loss to Roman Reigns and Conflict on the Fort and WWE wants to begin constructing Kross up as a critical world title challenger. Kross is leaving victorious – in all probability by making McIntyre cross out – a method or one other.
If Bray Wyatt goes to be revealed because the “White Rabbit” and it doesn’t shut the present, this might be the match for it to occur throughout. There have been references to Kross within the clues and fan theories Wyatt could possibly be returning to kind a brilliant group with Kross and Scarlett in it.
Seth Rollins over Matt Riddle (Battle Pit match)
Former two-division UFC champion Daniel Cormier being added because the particular visitor referee is a good contact to a feud that actually is boiling sizzling over the previous few months. Riddle and Rollins even dished out extra very private jabs on Uncooked this week. The Battle Pit is likely one of the most original and newer constructions WWE has to supply, and you'll solely win by submission or knockout.
So this must be it for these two. My solely grievance right here is, did WWE spoil the end by already placing Rollins in a United States championship match on the season premiere of “Monday Night time Uncooked” two days later? Excited to see what these two guys attempt with the Battle Pit, but it surely’s onerous to see Rollins not successful and probably starting a well-deserved push into the main-event scene afterward.
Bianca Belair (c.) over Bayley to retain the Uncooked girls’s championship (Ladder match)
This can be essentially the most intriguing match on the cardboard as a result of it’s simple to see this going both approach. The ladder match stipulation permits the remainder of Harm CTRL to assist Bayley declare the belt so Belair doesn’t take a clear loss. I believe they struggle, however Alexa Bliss and Asuka become involved to provide Belair sufficient time to retain. This complete feud feels prefer it’s preparing for WarGames at Survivor Collection and WWE must be in no rush to finish Belair’s reign earlier than WrestleMania.
Ronda Rousey over Liv Morgan (c.) to win the SmackDown girls’s championship (Excessive Guidelines match)
WWE has carried out sufficient to legitimize Morgan and her title reign by having her beat Rousey at SummerSlam after which the previous UFC girls’s bantamweight champion’s buddy Shayna Baszler at Conflict on the Fort. The Excessive Guidelines stipulation is the right probability for both Rousey to permit Morgan to lose whereas displaying toughness or have Baszler discover a option to intrude and value her the match to formally kick off a heel flip and their pairing. Rousey taking a 3rd straight loss to Morgan can be very shocking.
