It was revealed at tonight's SmackDown tapings from Fresno in a backstage segment with Kane and Seth Rollins that Rollins will defend his WWE World Heavyweight Title against Randy Orton at the Extreme Rules pay-per-view.

Extreme Rules takes place on April 26th from the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois.

It's weird that they are taking a break from Reigns. Maybe they're gonna give him time to go over with the crowd before another shot. Maybe a more organic approach rather than being stuffed down the fans' throats sort of thing.

It makes sense, Orton recently beat Rollins just before he cashed in so he should deserve a title match. Besides, their WM match was epic and I want to see that kind of motivated Randy vs Seth again.

This is fine. It makes sense as Orton pinned him at WM and shall be fun. It's also cool they're holding Reigns off from the WWE title picture for a while, they really should try and build him up right this time if they're still gonna go that direction. It's weird that it's 2015 and I'm enjoying Orton, but such is life.

Not surprised, but not gonna complain either.

If it's an Extreme Rules match, which it should be, all of 'em should have some 'extreme' stipulation, Rollins is most likely winning via some shenanigans.

Heard their WM match was kind of good? Is it true? Or was it another finisher fest?
it was great. Quick, back and forth action....the RKO Randy hit was simply brilliant...kudos to Seth and Orton for the timing on that one.

It'll be a Triple Threat between Orton/Rollins/Reigns.. It is ER after all.. It won't be just a regular singles match.

I doubt they want Reigns losing two consecutive PPV title matches. It seems Reigns might be headed into a feud with Big Show (again.)

It'd be in their best interests to keep Reigns away from the title picture for the time being and work on trying to do whatever is necessary to salvage his character as a babyface. Whatever they try likely won't succeed, but having him fight from the bottom to earn another title shot (i.e. going after the MITB briefcase in June) rather than being immediately inserted into the main event again would be best imo.

If this is the case, WWE always amazes me with their bs. I know they can't always get it right. But big show again???? Have him fight bray Wyatt or something. They're realizing that they pushed roman too quickly and didn't let him really build so now they're back pedaling a little bit and waiting for him to fight for the belt at summerslam.

Hopefully J&J will be out of it at least through the ppv and they book Seth to win solo and look like less of a pussy champ, I cannot stand the bitch heel gimmicks.
