Despite the show already having 10 matches, POST Wrestling is reporting that Dolph Ziggler vs. Kevin Owens will be added to Sunday’s WWE Extreme Rules pay-per-view.
The report states this match has always been planned for the card and is expected to be announced at some point before the show.
This program began a couple of weeks ago on SmackDown Live when Ziggler and Owens were squabbling over who deserved the next WWE Championship match.
They were instead put in a tag team bout against Heavy Machinery, which if they won, they would be added to the SmackDown Tag Team Title match at Extreme Rules.
As it happened, Ziggler accidentally Superkicked Owens, and they lost. Owens followed up with a Stunner to Ziggler to end the show.
A match was set up for this past week between the two, but was called off after Owens ambushed Ziggler in the parking lot at the start of the show, and followed up with an excellent worked shoot promo about Shane McMahon taking up WWE’s TV time from those who deserve it.
Ziggler was then put into a match with Roman Reigns, which he lost after Kevin Owens gave Shane McMahon – who was in Ziggler’s corner – a Stunner during the bout.
The updated card is as follows
*Seth Rollins & Becky Lynch vs. Baron Corbin & Lacey Evans – Winners Take All for the Universal & Raw women’s titles
*Roman Reigns & The Undertaker vs. Shane McMahon & Drew McIntyre
*Kofi Kingston vs. Samoa Joe for the WWE title
*Bobby Lashley vs. Braun Strowman in a Last Man Standing match
*Ricochet vs. AJ Styles for the United States title
*Daniel Bryan & Rowan vs. Xavier Woods & Big E. vs. Heavy Machinery for the SmackDown tag titles
*Bayley vs. Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross for the SmackDown women’s title
*The Revival vs. The Usos for the Raw tag titles
*Drew Gulak vs. Tony Nese for the Cruiserweight title
*Aleister Black vs. Cesaro
*Kevin Owens vs. Dolph Ziggler
