WWE Extreme Rules 2016: Feuds That Will Continue Through Money in the Bank

With WWE's marquee SummerSlam show just a couple of months away, most of the feuds that are kicking off at Money in the Bank should run right through to that major event.

It would leave little time after Money in the Bank for new rivalries to not only be established but also build sufficient momentum to make them deserving of the SummerSlam stage.

So expect a lot of WWE's newest feuds to run for at least a couple more months, especially through the direct weeks leading out of Money in the Bank. Here are three that stand out. 

Rusev vs. Titus O'Neil

It's perhaps the feud that nobody would have predicted a couple of weeks ago, but now it's set up and raring to go. Don't expect Rusev vs. Titus O'Neil to be in a flash in the pan.

It may have been that way had John Cena not been thrown into a feud with AJ Styles, as he could have stepped in and taken on Rusev after the champion got past O'Neil.

But with most of the company's top stars otherwise engaged, O'Neil gets a shot at the United States Championship, which will run for at least a couple of shows.

It will be interesting to see if the feud goes all the way to SummerSlam, but with an expected win for Rusev at Money in the Bank, there's no way WWE will ditch it after just a few short weeks.

Crucially, Rusev needs a worthwhile and extensive feud to kick his reign off, and this will work just fine.

AJ Styles vs. John Cena

When you talk about rivalries and feuds that are befitting of the grand stage SummerSlam provides, then AJ Styles vs. John Cena fits to perfection.

On one hand, you've got arguably the biggest star in WWE's recent history; on the other, there's arguably the most famous non-WWE wrestler currently active before he arrived in the company earlier this year.

It's a dream match that many thought would never happen, so throwing it away after just one pay-per-view makes no sense.

Expect them both to trade victories throughout the course of the feud, and one win each at Money in the Bank and Battleground will set up a decisive grudge bout at SummerSlam.

Styles' heel turn caught many by surprise, but if WWE books him right alongside The Club in the coming weeks, this rivalry with John Cena will be sensational.

And it's certain to continue through Money in the Bank.

Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins

Much like AJ Styles vs. John Cena, having the WWE World Heavyweight Championship rivalry last just one pay-per-view makes no sense.

The reason it could roll on and on is essentially because the possibilities are endless. Roman Reigns could retain right through to SummerSlam before losing to Seth Rollins, or they can pass the title around a little in the coming months.

Throw in the fact you could see a double turn or even Dean Ambrose added to the feud to make the dream match among all three members of The Shield, and there's no way the curtain will come down on Rollins vs. Reigns in a matter of weeks.

Fans have been waiting to see Rollins return and take down The Guy in spectacular fashion. Now he's back, and he's going to be locked in right through to SummerSlam at the very least for a feud with Reigns.

Having it end at Money in the Bank makes no sense whatsoever.
