Extreme Rules: WWE Championship - Kofi Kingston (c) VS. Samoa Joe

[Jack-Hammer]

After his attack on Kofi last night on Raw, you had to figure it was coming and WWE made it official today that Kofi defends against Joe at the Extreme Rules PPV. No special stipulation or gimmick is announced for the match, so I'm assuming that means that it's basically a no DQ match since it's "the one night a year WWE gets extreme." :eyeroll:

This could be a fun match if it gets the time it needs. Joe is absolutely great as this intense bully, I just hope they move away from the "you can't do it without New Day" stuff as it's just not gonna hold water since it'll be well over 3 months since Kofi won the title by the time ER comes around.

I won't be heartbroken if Joe wins, but I also like Kofi as a babyface champion. Joe could win, but I don't see Kofi dropping the title until SummerSlam at the very least.

It sounds fun and all, but man Joe's booking is insane.

I love this. Joe belongs in the main event scene, even if it means he takes yet another loss. I'd like to see Kofi retain and feud with Orton. They have a natural story to build on, and a motivated Orton is still one of the top wrestlers in WWE. Then maybe Joe can take the title at SummerSlam or a little later. Either way great feud and easily the most intriguing since WrestleMania.

Is this official?

Is this official?

Yeah. WWE announced it on Twitter.

Yeah. WWE announced it on Twitter.

Thank you sir. Will add in my thoughts later.

Kofi really needs to face a legitimate headliner and win to legitimize his reign.

I'd rather see him face Joe but they should give him Orton.
