Below is a list of the currently signed matches to take place on Week 4 of NXT and Extreme Rules, the big events of April for the Universe Mode.
NXT, Week 4
Finn Balor(c) vs Sami Zayn- NXT Championship Match
In the main event of the final episode of NXT for April, Finn Balor defends his title against Sami Zayn. The bout is highly anticipated and has the potential to be a MOTY candidate.
AJ Styles vs Baron Corbin- No Holds Barred Street Fight
In the blowoff match to their ongoing feud, AJ Styles and Baron Corbin will meet in a Street Fight. Both own one victory over the other, with this match breaking the tie. It should be one hell of a slobberknocker.
Extreme Rules
Raw
John Cena(c) vs Ryback- IC Title Match, Last Man Standing
After Cena beat Ryback for the belt on the first episode of Raw, Ryback demanded another shot. He destroyed Jay Lethal on the last episode of Raw, earning this match. It will be a Last Man Standing stipulation, and these two should beat the stuffing out of each other.
Trish Stratus(c) vs Lita- Women's Title Match
These two have gone at it before, and will do battle once again at Extreme Rules. Lita showed Trish up on Raw, winning the match despite Trish's attempts to sabotage her.
Smackdown
The Rock(c) vs Randy Orton- WWE Title Match
After the People's Champion shocked the Viper with his win on Smackdown last week, Orton has demanded a rematch. Given the popularity of their first encounter, the powers that be have granted his request. Can Orton regain his title or will The Rock lay the smackdown on his candy a**?
That's it for now, but new matches are being finalized every episode. With five matches to take place on Week 4 of NXT, and seven on Extreme Rules, there will be more to come soon. I'll provide an update after this upcoming week on where we stand in regards to new matches being signed.
