New Title Match Announced For WWE Extreme Rules Pre-Show

New Title Match Announced For WWE Extreme Rules Pre-Show

WWE announced on the live YouTube preview for Extreme Rules that Finn Bálor will defend his Intercontinental Championship against Shinsuke Nakamura on the pre-show tonight.

Nakamura crashed a Finn Bálor interview on SmackDown a couple of weeks ago, giving the belt a “too sweet” to announce his intentions at becoming the new IC Champ.

This past Tuesday on SmackDown the ‘King of Strong Style’ beat Bálor convincingly which seemingly earned his match tonight.

The pair had fought previously in NXT (and of course many times prior to signing with WWE), but Tuesday’s match was their first one-on-one encounter on the main roster.

It was also reported previously that Kevin Owens vs. Dolph Ziggler will be added to tonight’s card, and WWE has confirmed that match on Twitter too.

Check back to the website tonight for live coverage of Extreme Rules.
