Here is how we rank the competitors in the match based on their chances of walking away as the winner (note: this is only our opinion, make sure to let us know yours).
5) Samoa Joe
- I am a big fan of Samoa Joe but I think that he is least likely to win. WWE will want to build him up further if they want a potential Joe vs Brock match.
4) Roman Reigns
- Reigns has a chance, but it seems likely that WWE saves this match for Wrestlemania 34. Usually Reigns would be on the top of this list but I think they will go in another direction. We expect them to save the match for a bigger event.
3) Bray Wyatt
- Bray Wyatt gets the third spot by default here. I think he has a better chance than both Joe and Reigns but only by a small margin. I can’t say I would hate a potential Brock vs Bray match if he does end up winning.
2) Seth Rollins
- Seth vs Brock is a match with tons of back story already. Seth cashed in his Money in the Bank contract at Wrestlemania 31 to steal the title from Brock. They also have some pretty great chemistry together. The triple threat match between Seth, Brock and John Cena from the 2015 Royal Rumble is a taste of what we could see if they faced off again. I think Seth winning would have the best storyline but he only ranks number 2 on our list since he is still feuding with Samoa Joe.

1) Finn Balor
- WWE clearly wants us to think that Finn Balor is the odds on favorite heading into Extreme Rules. I say that because Paul Heyman essentially told the world that Brock vs Balor is happening in the near future. He also called Balor the most talented in-ring performer in the company. Was this to throw us off? Or was this a hint that Balor is winning? We think it was a hint and Balor will get a chance to win back his title that he never lost.
