WWE Extreme Rules 2011: Why Rey Mysterio Will Crush Cody Rhodes

In two days, WWE will go extreme with their annual Extreme Rules pay-per-view, taking place in Tampa, Fla. 

The card is filled with matches, but one match that stands out, the one match with the most build, is Cody Rhodes vs. Rey Mysterio in a Falls Count Anywhere Match.

Mysterio and Rhodes have been feuding on Smackdown for months, since January, easily giving this match the most build on the card. 

With Rey Mysterio being drafted to Monday Night Raw in the 2011 WWE Draft this past Monday, this match will be the ending of this three-plus month feud. 

But after investing so much into these two Superstars, from weekly TV time to a WrestleMania match, how can WWE decide on a winner?  Who is going to come out on top after months and months of hype?

Cody Rhodes picked up a shocking win at WrestleMania, and has come out on top a good number of times before then, too. 

That's not the say Rey has never gained the upper-hand on Rhodes, but WWE has given Rhodes the spotlight here, obviously because Rhodes is in the midst of a push.

After months of going back and forth, with Rhodes mostly staying on top, it's time for Rey to win.

While it's a valid argument to say that Rhodes should win here because he is the one getting the push, Rey actually has more to gain here than Rhodes.

Cody Rhodes has already proven that he can work the mic and carry a match.  He's given TV time nearly every week to cut promos and also defeated Rey on the biggest stage of them all, WrestleMania less than one month ago.

Rey Mysterio is starting on Monday Night Raw after Extreme Rules, would WWE really debut on the Red Brand hot off the heels of a loss?  Probably not. 

Despite Rhodes being the rookie and the one reviving the push by the powers-at-be in WWE (rhyme not intended), Rey stand to gain more for picking up the win at Extreme Rules this Sunday.
