WWE’s Extreme Rules pay-per-view had several big stories going into it. The Shield’s War with a newly reformed Evolution, Bray Wyatt continuously trying to get John Cena to follow the Fireflies, and Daniel Bryan’s first title defense following the Miracle on Bourbon Street at WrestleMania 30.  

However, almost no one was talking about the budding feud between 3MB and the Los Matadores. Despite this complete lack of appreciation, it was 10 years ago this month that these teams would clash in what is widely considered one of the greatest “Pre-Show” matches in WWE history: Wee LC.

The bout was built as a punny version of WWE’s Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match (TLC), with Hornswoggle taking on Los Matadores’ El Torito. WWE went all out with smaller ladders, chairs, and tables; even going so far as to bring in other Little People for the roles of ring announcer and even commentary table. 

While the match’s construction has middle-school-level humor written all over it, the participants took it very seriously. They wanted to prove that they could turn what could easily be a lemon of a match into delicious lemonade and that they did! During a recent interview on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, former WWE Superstar Hornswoggle spoke about the match, which he describes as the “coolest” match he’s ever done. 

“Wee LC. That’s the most talked about match I’ve ever done. I will never top it. I will never do anything cooler have never done anything cooler than that match…

One of those moments where I was like, okay, it was pretty awesome. And then I remember being in my gear literally to like, two matches left and Torito was leaving. He goes ‘You Okay?’ I go I’m okay…I’m still in the moment, man.”

The match was filled with exciting and chaotic moments, as Superstars smashed through tons of tables and ladders, with each competitor’s team members getting involved in the action themselves. Although the former Cruiserweight Champion is proud of the match in hindsight, he admitted that he was very nervous about how it would be received. He feared that the fans would dismiss it or even boo.

“I didn’t know how they would react, it’s two midgets. One a bull, a midget bull and a midget Rockstar going into a match on the pre-show. First thing that crowd sees that night. With mini ladders and mini tables, mini chairs, mini commentary and mini announcer I didn’t know how they’d react. I thought they’re gonna blow the sh*t up. I really did.

And I remember being backstage in my heart knowing we’re going to kill it. In my mind going, if they start booing, we’re done. The coolest moment of my life match of my life, going into it is gonna be the worst thing ever.” – Hornswoggle

As fate would have it, the crowd did just the opposite. Instead, the New Jersey crowd in the Izod Center that night went wild for the Pre-Show Classic. Respecting the innovation, humor, and physical action that came with the match. 

Hornswoggle notes that the match was a tremendous source of pride for him, a match where people backstage didn’t just enjoy the match ironically, but sincerely. The former Superstar looked back on the evening as a “shove it” moment, where they got to prove everyone wrong. 

“I never thought it would hold up like it has I never thought it would be such a not even talked about thing. [It was] A shove it up the a** moment. I’ll say to the fans, I guarantee the locker room didn’t take it seriously. Shove it up their a**. I get to gorilla and everyone is on their feet clapping for us. One of those moments where I was like, okay, it was pretty awesome.”

For those interested, Dave Meltzer himself awarded the match 3 stars, tied for the second-highest-rated match on the entire 2014 Extreme Rules card, tying with Wade Barrett and Big E’s Intercontinental Championship match. Both though lost out to the epic Shield vs Evolution 6-man-tag match, which gained a 4.75 rating. 

Regardless of one’s affinity for “star ratings”, it does reflect how highly people respected and enjoyed the first and only Wee LC match to date. The bout is looked back on incredibly favorably by the WWE Universe and consistently referenced as a gem of a match. 

Could we see another Wee LC match in WWE? Most likely not. However, if the company’s new regime has taught its fans anything, it’s “Never Say Never!”

Watch WWE’s infamous WeeLC Match (Full Match):

Daniel Cormier was blown away by the Fight Pit match that headlined last night’s WWE Extreme Rules 2022 Premium Live Event.

In the main event of the show, the Fight Pit made its debut on the main roster, as Matt Riddle got a victory over Seth Rollins. This marked Riddle’s first win in the Fight Pit, and the third match to take place in the cage overall. Part of the selling point of this week’s Fight Pit was Daniel Cormier, who served as the guest referee for the match.

Speaking to the returning Cathey Kelly after the show, the former UFC Heavyweight Champion expressed his respect for both Riddle and Rollins.

“It was amazing. Those guys fought. You knew that a rivalry like that needed an ending like that. Something very true. Something that could not be questioned and Matt Riddle got it done. It was tremendous being inside the Fight Pit.”

– Daniel Cormier

Cormier, who retired from professional fighting in 2020, was also asked about an altercation between himself and Rollins during the match but believes that this wasn’t a sign of biased officiating.

“I had to put him in his place because he’s been disrespectful. He grabbed me while I was checking on Matt Riddle. But I said I would be fair. I thought that I was that tonight. I came here to do a job and I think I did that job to the best of my abilities.”

Cormier’s appearance at Extreme Rules was reported to have been a one-off appearance for WWE, but both sides remain open to working together again in the future.

Who Convinced Daniel Cormier to Make WWE Extreme Rules 2022 Debut?

Bray Wyatt is back!

The former Universal champion made his much-anticipated WWE return on tonight’s Extreme Rules PPV after weeks of build-up.

The main event of the show saw Riddle beating Seth Rollins in a fight pit match. Both Riddle and the special guest referee Daniel Cormier were on the stage after the bout when the lights went out.

The different characters of Firefly Fun House were then spotted in the crowd before Wyatt himself made an appearance on the stage.

He made his entrance through a temporary set with a lantern in his hand. Wyatt removed his mask and the show went off air after the returning star’s logo was seen on the screen.

After the cameras stopped rolling, Bray came out of the door and greeted fans for a second. However, he quickly went back as the fans continued cheering.

There was an announcement for the crowd thanking them for attending the show. The WWE staff was seen dismantling the temporary set and taking it to the back as the lights came back on:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPKsRqKf094

WWE has since posted two videos on their YouTube channel. One shows Bray Wyatt’s return while the other is of the various creatures shown during the segment.

This suggests that we will see Wyatt leading a faction of the various Firefly Fun House characters in the coming times.

• WWE & AEW Stars React To Bray Wyatt’s Return At Extreme Rules

For the last few months, Finn Balor and his Judgment Day cohorts have been at odds with the man who brought them together: Edge. At WWE Extreme Rules, the two will have an “I Quit” match.

Balor feels like this is the only way to settle their story. He told the New York Post, “Edge says he won’t quit, but he’s clearly quit one time before 11 years ago. I can promise you I’ve never quit once in my career in the ring or outside of the ring. That will remain the same at the Extreme Rules.”

For Balor, this feud with Edge has been a long time coming. Due to Edge’s sudden retirement, Balor thought he’d never get to face “The Rated R Superstar”. “Any idea or hope or dream I had of wrestling Edge in the ring kind of evaporated. He returned to the ring at Royal Rumble (in 2020) and that spark was reignited. Our careers had not been aligned up until recently and I feel like everything has kind of fallen into place the last couple months and the match is finally happening. “

Judgment Day allows Balor to be more authentic

Balor has found success with his new stable. He believes that’s due to being allowed to be a heel and not boxed in as a babyface like he was in his early WWE career.

“I’ve kind of tapped into a more real, authentic version of Finn that has kind of been suppressed the last couple of years in WWE. I feel like I’m finally able to create the version of myself that I feel comfortable with and that is certainly a more vicious, aggressive style of wrestling.”

Being a part of Judgment Day has breathed new life into his character. “I’ve worked for most of my career as a heel or more naturally as a nasty, vicious heel and I was framed to be a babyface by WWE, really against my will. It’s not something that I feel comfortable with or I feel like I execute to the best of my abilities and I feel a lot more comfortable in the role that I’m in now. It doesn’t really feel like a stretch of the imagination. I just really feel like I have to go out there and be myself. That allows me to be a lot more at home in the character and a lot more comfortable in the ring. I’m able to showcase the abilities that I have that I’m not able to showcase as a babyface.”

“So I feel like this is really the direction I wanted the heel NXT version of Finn to go. We just never had a chance to fully execute that. This is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time.”

WWE Extreme Rules takes place this Saturday from Philadelphia, PA. This will be the 14th Extreme Rules event for the company, it originated in 2009.

SEScoops correspondents Andrew Ravens, Thomas Lowson and Ryan Droste have assembled to provide our official WWE Extreme Rules predictions.

WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion Liv Morgan vs. Ronda Rousey (Extreme Rules Match)

Andrew Ravens: Everyone, including myself, thinks we get a title change here unless WWE wants to hold off one more month for it to happen. Rousey should be the champion, and Morgan as the champion just hasn’t clicked for me yet. Rousey is WWE’s biggest female star on SmackDown. Let her shine with the gold. (Prediction: Ronda Rousey).

Thomas Lowson: I appreciate WWE trying to build up Morgan as a more legitimate threat to Rousey in recent weeks. And it has worked to an extent. However, I can’t see Rousey taking three losses in a row to Morgan. The Extreme Rules stip does give WWE the opportunity (again) to give Rousey a non-clean loss, but I don’t see it. Morgan’s had a good run, fans got what they wanted. (Prediction: Ronda Rousey)

Ryan Droste: Morgan’s reign to this point has already exceeded the length that anyone could have predicted. I just can’t imagine that Rousey would lose here. While it’s been nice to see Morgan get some shine, the end goal here was always moving the title back to Rousey. (Prediction: Ronda Rousey)

Consensus: Ronda Rousey

WWE Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair vs. Bayley (Ladder Match)

Andrew Ravens: The ladder match stipulation is interesting if WWE wants to beat Belair but protect her, Bayley could win thanks to outside interference and not have to beat Belair clean. I don’t see it happening, but I wouldn’t be shocked to see it. Belair will be feuding with the heel faction for a while going forward, so she retains. (Prediction: Bianca Belair).

Thomas Lowson: This is perhaps the match I’m most excited to see. Bayley and Damage CTRL have been on a roll, and I expect that to continue. The thing with Belair is that she’s been very well protected in WWE. Her last title loss only happened because she was caught off-guard. I think the ladder match stipulation gives WWE a perfect way to take the title off her, without Belair taking a clean loss. (Prediction: Bayley)

Ryan Droste: Belair has once again been a solid champion. However, who does she work next if she defeats Bayley here? They can extend the program a little longer, but in the end it feels like a Bayley title reign is in the cars. Damage CTRL has felt very fresh, and with WWE concentrating on powerful factions of late, adding the Raw Women’s Championship to this one makes sense. (Prediction: Bayley)

Consensus: Split

Seth Rollins vs. Matt Riddle (Fight Pit Match)

Andrew Ravens: This should be the main event of the show based on the fact that this has been a fun storyline, and WWE is bringing in UFC’s Daniel Cormier for the bout. I’ll side with Riddle going over because he needs a win to wrap up this storyline, and I can’t see Cormier counting the pinfall to give a heel the win. (Prediction: Matt Riddle).

Thomas Lowson: With Roman Reigns a no-show, this will likely headline Extreme Rules. I think Riddle has this. It makes sense given that Rollins won in Cardiff, and personally, I hope it’s the end of the feud. Perhaps a match will be squeezed out at Crown Jewel, but I don’t need to see it. Rollins and Riddle have done well, but there’s no point in carrying this on. Riddle gets the win, and maybe a bit of respect from Rollins. As for Cormier, I wouldn’t be surprised to see some confrontation with Seth, setting up a Saudi match. (Prediction: Matt Riddle)

Ryan Droste: Like my colleagues, it’s difficult to envision Riddle not winning this match. Daniel Cormier would seem to cement that fact. They’ve been feuding for a while and it’s time for Riddle to go over and move on to something else. (Predictions: Matt Riddle)

Consensus: Matt Riddle

Karrion Kross vs. Drew McIntyre (Strap Match)

Andrew Ravens: This is a very intriguing match because both stars need a win. McIntyre needs a win since he just lost to Roman Reigns at Clash at the Castle, but also, Kross needs a win to continue to prove to fans that he will be the second biggest heel on Smackdown. Kross also needs a great match with McIntyre, so I’ll side with Kross. (Prediction: Karrion Kross).

Thomas Lowson: This seems the easiest one for me to call, which pains me as a huge McIntyre fan. It’s odd though, as neither man can really afford a loss. Kross is still relatively new on the scene on SmackDown, and McIntyre is coming off arguably the biggest loss of his career. But I have to go with Kross on this one. WWE has long-term plans for him in the main event, making his win more necessary. (Prediction: Karrion Kross)

Ryan Droste: Kross seems destined for the title picture, while McIntyre has just exited that scene. One could make the argument that McIntyre needs a big win, but so does Kross having recently returned and looking to be elevated for a shot at Reigns. (Prediction: Karrion Kross)

Consensus: Karrion Kross

Edge vs. Finn Balor (“I Quit” Match)

Andrew Ravens: I’m going with Balor solely based on the fact that WrestleVotes recently reported that WWE had big plans in place for Balor in the near future. I don’t think Edge needs to win just because he recently returned. (Prediction: Finn Balor).

Thomas Lowson: Another difficult one to call. On paper, it seems like Balor and the Judgment Day would have this one in the bag. The numbers game alone would surely give them this. However, Edge only recently returned, and having him come back to lose would make little sense. Honestly, it’s a coin-toss, but I’ll give it to the Hall of Famer. (Prediction: Edge)

Ryan Droste: Judgment Day lost to Edge and Rey Mysterio at Clash at the Castle. It feels like Balor goes over here. Outside of his initial Universal Championship victory (and injury), Balor has never lived up to his full potential on the main roster. While with NXT, Balor shined. Who was in charge of creative there? With Triple H in charge, it’s not surprising to see rumors of a strong Balor push. (Prediction: Finn Balor)

Consensus: Split

The Brawling Brutes (Sheamus, Ridge Holland & Butch) vs. Imperium (Gunther, Giovanni Vinci & Ludwig Kaiser) (Good Old Fashioned Donnybrook Match)

Andrew Ravens: This could steal the show and should be the event’s opener. I think it’s a pick ’em, and the outcome will be based on what happens on Friday during the title bout between Gunther and Sheamus for the Intercontinental Title. I’ll side with The Brawling Brutes going over because I don’t think Sheamus wins the title on SmackDown. (Prediction: The Brawling Brutes).

Thomas Lowson: I was fortunate to be in attendance for WWE Clash at the Castle, so I know how good this can be. It’s a tough one to call, and one I reckon will be influenced by the IC Title match on SmackDown. But I’m predicting a clean sweep for the Brutes. A new Intercontinental Champion, and a win at the PLE. (Prediction: The Brawling Brutes)

Ryan Droste: SmackDown will have an impact on this result, and since we are publishing this before SmackDown, it’s really hard to say right now! Basically a toss-up. While Gunther prevailed in that classic match with Sheamus at Clash at the Castle, I think there’s a shot Sheamus wins the IC title on SmackDown (I was kind of expecting it to happen at Clash, actually). That being said, I wouldn’t do it. I would keep Gunther strong as he’s a guy who can challenge for the world title down the line. Why not keep him dominant? Sheamus gets his revenge here in a six man. (Prediction: The Brawling Brutes)

Consensus: The Brawling Brutes

Liv Morgan will be defending her SmackDown Women’s Championship against Ronda Rousey once again this Saturday night at Extreme Rules.

It will be an Extreme Rules match at the Premium Live Event this Saturday night. The Baddest Woman on the Planet has been playing mind games with the SmackDown Women’s Champion by claiming she is not capable of getting extreme.

Morgan proved that wasn’t the case when she put Lacey Evans through a table outside the ring on a recent episode of the blue brand.

"I'm ready for you @RondaRousey, let's get Extreme!"

Liv Morgan Says Ronda Rousey Will Have To Kill Her At WWE Extreme Rules

The SmackDown Women’s Champion recently spoke with Rick Ucchino on the Bleav in Pro Wrestling show. Rick asked what Liv is willing to go through this Saturday night at Extreme Rules to keep her championship. The 28-year-old revealed that there are no lengths she won’t go to in order to win the match.

There’s no lengths. Literally, there is nothing that I won’t do and I mean so very genuinely. There’s absolutely nothing that I wouldn’t do and there’s especially nothing that I wouldn’t do to keep this championship.

Ronda (Rousey) is going to have to kill me. I’ve said it before, but I just mean that so quite literally like, you’re going to have to get creative if you think anything is going to keep me down from winning my championship or keeping my championship.

It’s also, a part of me kind of thinks it’s like funny that people think that I’m crazy for challenging Ronda, who is not from this world (WWE), to a match that literally captured my heart into wrestling.

Extreme Rules, the tables, the ladders, the chairs. That is why I fell in love with WWE. And you guys think that I am crazy for challenging a woman that is not from this sport to a match that made me fall in love with the business? It’s like, I think you’re crazy.

If you use any quotes from this article, please credit the Bleav in Pro Wrestling show and give a H/T to SEScoops for the transcription.

WWE will present the 14th incarnation of their Extreme Rules event this Saturday night on Peacock and the WWE Network.

There’s been some really good Extreme Rules events in the past, to be sure. But maybe you’re having a hard time even remembering some of them at all, let alone the details of what transpired. In all honesty, many of the shows have been pretty unremarkable with little to remember. That said, there have been a handful of Extreme Rules events that absolutely rise above the rest, including one that is far and away the best in the history of the concept (2012).

So as we prepare for yet another night of WWE Extreme Rules this weekend, let’s take a look back at the best Extreme Rules events in the company’s history (so far).

WWE Extreme Rules 2019

This isn’t a show with any match of the year contenders. What it does have is several very good, above average matches. Perhaps more-so than any other Extreme Rules card, this event was extremely solid and consistent nearly all the way through.

Two of the best tag teams of the 21st century, The Revival (FTR) and The Usos wrestle on this show. You also get Roman Reigns teaming with The Undertaker against Drew McIntyre and Shane McMahon, a match that is better than it sounds. Plus, this incarnation of Extreme Rules also includes: Aleister Black vs. Cesaro, The New Day vs. Daniel Bryan and Rowan vs. Heavy Machinery, and AJ Styles vs. Ricochet.

Kofi Kingston and Samoa Joe, a match that looked good on paper, didn’t live up to the hype, and this was unfortunately the era where Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch’s real life romance was first turned into an on-screen tag team (absolutely obliterating Becky’s momentum) and they work against Baron Corbin and Lacey Evans. But top to bottom, this card is very good for the most part.

WWE Extreme Rules 2016

This was a two-match show, but those two matches are absolute bangers.

A fatal four-way Intercontinental Title Match featuring The Miz, Cesaro, Kevin Owens, and Sami Zayn absolutely tears the house down. That match is followed up by a main event featuring WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns taking on AJ Styles in an Extreme Rules Match.

Both of these contests were match of the year contenders in 2016 and were significantly better than anything on that year’s WrestleMania (32), a show which was universally seen as disappointing.

WWE Extreme Rules 2011

This card didn’t have any match of the year contenders, but what it did have was three very high level matches. The crowd in Tampa received a treat from top to bottom.

The standout contests were: Randy Orton vs. CM Punk in a Last Man Standing Match, Christian vs. Alberto Del Rio in a Ladder Match, and John Cena vs. John Morrison vs. The Miz in a triple threat Steel Cage Match.

WWE Extreme Rules 2012

There’s not really much of a debate around the fact that the 2012 edition of Extreme Rules is the best in the history of the show. That year’s event from Chicago was loaded with great matches, including: Sheamus vs. Daniel Bryan in a Best 2 out of 3 Falls Match, CM Punk vs. Chris Jericho in a Chicago Street Fight, and John Cena vs. Brock Lesnar in an Extreme Rules Match.

Cena vs. Lesnar is quite the spectacle. Lesnar’s first PPV match since returning to the company and a brutal one at that. Cena’s take some hard elbows to the face and bleeds hardway to a level that hadn’t been seen in WWE for many years. The decision to put Cena over was criticized at the time, but the match itself is absolutely phenomenal.

When is WWE Extreme Rules?

WWE Extreme Rules takes place Saturday, October 8th from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at the Wells Fargo Center. The main card of this premium live event starts at 8pm ET / 5pm PT.

How to Watch

WWE Extreme Rules streams live on Peacock in the United States and on the WWE Network internationally.

WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion Liv Morgan is scheduled to put the title on the line against Ronda Rousey in an Extreme Rules match at the Premium Live Event on October 8th.

Liv became a fan favorite leading up to WWE Money in the Bank and the 28-year-old won the ladder match to earn a future title shot. She wasted no time cashing in and defeated Ronda to win the SmackDown Women’s Championship on the same night. The Baddest Woman on the Planet had just successfully defended the title against Natalya when Liv decided to cash in.

The two stars met again at WWE SummerSlam in a match that ended in controversy. It appeared that Liv had tapped out but Ronda’s shoulders were down during the submission move and the referee counted to three. Ronda went crazy after the match, attacked Liv and the referee, and was subsequently suspended.

She recently returned to SmackDown to announce that her suspension was lifted and also got WWE Official Adam Pearce in an armbar. Pearce announced over the weekend that he will be returning to WWE tonight. Ronda won a Fatal 5-Way on the September 9th episode of SmackDown to earn a title shot at Extreme Rules.

Liv Morgan Reacts To Being Left Off WWE Extreme Rules Poster

The official WWE on BT Sport tweeted out an Extreme Rules poster to hype the event that only featured Ronda Rousey on it. SmackDown Women’s Champion Liv Morgan quickly responded and told the company that they can keep their s***** poster.

I was never supposed to be your girl @WWE but the people made me THEIR girl. Keep ur s***** poster.

Liv Morgan defeated Lacey Evans on the September 23rd episode of SmackDown. After the match, the champion put Lacey on a table and climbed to the top rope. She connected with a Senton through the table and said that she is “ready to get Extreme” to the camera. A wrestling legend questioned the booking of Lacey Evans and you can check that out here.

WWE Extreme Rules 2022 is already on the verge of selling out.

The show will take place on October 8th at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. As of now, Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns is not advertised for the premium live event.

According to Wrestle Tix’s Patreon, WWE has already sold 10,032 of a possible 11,186 tickets for Extreme Rules. With over a month remaining until Extreme Rules, it is reasonable to assume that the company will be hosting another sold crowd for the show.

Tickets for WWE Survivor Series Sold Out Fast

WWE Survivor Series will take place on November 26th. The premium live event will air from the TD Garden in Boston, MA.

Despite the show being three months away, the show virtually sold out during the pre-sale earlier this week. There is not a match announced for Survivor Series 2022 but WWE fans area clearly every excited about it.

Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer stated that he hadn’t seen a WWE show sell out as fast as Survivor Series in years.

“Survivor Series in Boston basically sold out during the presale today. Whatever is held back will sellout during the public onsale. I can’t think of a WWE show in years to do that.”

The ratings for both RAW and SmackDown have been on the increase since Vince McMahon’s departure from the company. Stephanie McMahon and Nick Khan were named the new co-CEOs, and Triple H replaced John Laurinaitis as EVP of Talent Relations. The Game was also named Head of Creative for the promotion and the WWE Universe have had a very positive response to the changes at the top of the company so far.

WWE has just announced some new upcoming live event dates.

WWE has unveiled its live event schedule from September through November 2022. Tickets for these events go on sale on July 15. The announced dates include live events, Raw tapings, SmackDown tapings, and premium live events.

WWE’s Announces New Event Dates

From WWE:

A major player for WWE may not be on the docket for one of its premium live events.

The wrestling business has certainly had its share of circumstances that haven’t been ideal this year. There have been a slew of injuries impacting top promotions such as WWE and AEW.

Some top performers also haven’t been around often due to reduced schedules.

For this top superstar, in particular, he may be missing out on a key event set to take place in a few months.

Roman Reigns Missing Extreme Rules?

The poster for Extreme Rules has been released and the current WWE Undisputed Universal Champion Roman Reigns is nowhere to be seen. This doesn’t serve as a confirmation of his absence but it certainly isn’t a good sign.

Reigns inked a new deal with WWE that sees him work fewer dates. While some thought the “Tribal Chief” would only be reducing his house show schedule, he has been MIA for many TV shows and he wasn’t present at the Money in the Bank premium live event.

A report from WrestleVotes claims that when the decision was made to unify the world titles with Reigns as the champion, the belief was that it would allow the “Head of the Table” to make more appearances on Raw and SmackDown.

So much for that.

Reigns is scheduled to appear on the July 8 episode of Friday Night SmackDown. He will put his gold on the line against Brock Lesnar at WWE SummerSlam on July 30 in Nashville.

That title match will be contested under Last Man Standing rules.

Major WWE Superstar Set to Return on SmackDown This Week

WWE has confirmed a report from The Philadelphia Inquirer that Extreme Rules is coming to Philly.

The company issued a statement revealing that Extreme Rules will be held inside the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, PA. Oct. 8 will be the date.

Here is WWE’s official announcement:

“As first announced by “The Philadelphia Inquirer,” WWE Extreme Rules will take place Saturday, Oct. 8 live from Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. The Premium Live Event will stream live exclusively on Peacock in the United States and WWE Network everywhere else.

“Tickets for WWE Extreme Rules will go on sale Friday, July 15 at 10 a.m. ET via www.wellsfargocenterphilly.com. Click here to learn more about registering for presale opportunities.”

For the immediate future, WWE is focusing on its two big premium live events set for July. Money in the Bank will be taking place on July 2, while SummerSlam goes down on July 30.

Both shows were set to be held inside stadiums. SummerSlam will now stand alone as the only WWE event in July being held inside a stadium.

Time will tell whether or not WWE will bring out the heavy hitters for this event. WWE’s top star Roman Reigns has taken a reduced schedule, while Cody Rhodes is expected to be out for several months and won’t be ready for Extreme Rules.

The Extreme Rules PPV gave people much to talk about including the strange finish to the main event extreme rules match between ‘Demon’ Finn Balor and the Universal champion Roman Reigns.

Many people including some WWE superstars reacted to the show on various social media sites. WWE also posted reactions of some of the stars who were part of the PPV on their YouTube channel.

WWE star Drew Gulak reacted to the finish of the Balor vs. Reigns match which saw the demon losing after the top rope broke. He said that the moral of this story is not to climb the rope if you are about to win the match.

Sasha Banks who made her return to WWE programming after more than a month of absence was seen in a backstage video. She simply said that ‘The boss is back’ and promised to see the fans on Friday.

Rumored Matches For WWE SummerSlam PPV

After WWE filmed the Swamp Fight this past Thursday night, some additional details about the taping have surfaced. 

Braun Strowman will not defend the Universal Championship against Bray Wyatt at this show. The location was roughly two hours outside of Orlando. 

According to a report by Wrestling Inc, filming lasted between 6 – 7 hours and they had to do multiple takes in order to get the various angles for editing purposes. There were various spots that were done multiple times like in a movie to get all the angles.

Regarding the match length, the belief is that it will be edited down to approximately a 20 – 30 minute match. WWE had several reptiles such as an alligator and a snake that were used for filming the segment.

The finish of the match was described as something straight out of Friday The 13th and a horror movie as someone is taken away or disappears only for that person to return to continue this feud. 

It was added that Vince McMahon was not involved with the match in addition to there being a difference that is notable in the final cut from other recent cinematic matches. Wyatt had various ideas for the match but had to adjust things in order for them to work. 

• EC3 Releases New Video Featuring Cinematic Match

WWE is planning to do another cinematic match at its next pay-per-view event, Extreme Rules. 

Braun Strowman will defend the Universal Championship against Bray Wyatt at this show. This is a rematch from the Money in the Bank pay-per-view event, which saw Strowman successfully retain the title over Wyatt. 

Wrestling Inc. reports the plan is to have various spots and storytelling of their past to the present. Per the report, Wyatt is said to be heavily involved in creating this match. 

Jeremy Borash and Triple H in addition to a few others will also be involved in putting the match together although the ideas for it are remaining close to the vest. Michael P.S. Hayes, who has worked on past matches like this, won’t be involved as he is having hip surgery.

Locations are being scouted for filming as this will be another overnight shoot. The article mentioned how the contest was described as a cross between a Terminator and a horror movie.

The idea is for the match to be more action-packed than Wyatt’s Firefly Funhouse match against John Cena at WrestleMania 36, which was essentially a bunch of segments thrown together with little wrestling. 

WWE presents the Extreme Rules pay-per-view event on Sunday, July 19, 2020 in Orlando, Florida at the WWE Performance Center that will air on the WWE Network. 

Ligero and Travis Banks Reportedly Released By WWE

When Daniel Bryan won the SmackDown Tag Team Championship with Rowan, he promised to elevate the whole division and visioned of taking it to the main event of WrestleMania.

However, the former World Champion’s dreams couldn’t come true because his reign didn’t last that long and he lost the tag titles to the New Day at the Extreme Rules PPV.

Bryan and Rowan were defending the title in a three-way match against the New Day and Heavy Machinery, and the duo of Xavier Woods and Big E were able to snatch the belts after pinning Daniel by hitting a Midnight Hour.

The former Champions were interviewed backstage after the bout and an emotional Bryan had some cryptic words to offer on his loss during the PPV.

Daniel said that it wasn’t him who failed and in pursuing excellence, the fans brought him down to mediocrity. He was trying to elevate the tag team division but they’re now un-elevatable.

Continuing on the topic, Daniel said that if he has to save the planet, he has to go where Daniel Bryan has not gone before and he knows exactly what he has to do.

There is no news currently on what Bryan is talking about or what the company has in store for the former World Champion but we should get a better idea about it on this week’s episode of Raw or SmackDown Live.

Daniel Bryan Reacts Loss at Extreme Rules

Seth Rollins went through a gruesome Extreme Rules match at the PPV of the same name where he and Becky Lynch defended their Universal Championship and Raw Women’s Championship respectively.

The duo fought hard against the team of Baron Corbin and Lacey Evans who took the champions and real-life couple to their limit in the main event of the WWE PPV.

Though at the culmination of the bout, Corbin delivered an End Of Days to Becky which caused Rollins to lose control and after some brutal chair shots and two Curb Stomps, Seth was able to retain his title by pinning the former Raw GM.

However, this wasn’t the end of the night and things didn’t go Rollins’ way after this as Mr. Money In The Bank Brock Lesnar made his way to the ring after the bout was over.

Brock cashed in his contract on Rollins and after two German Suplexes and an F5, the Beast was able to defeat the Architect and reclaim the championship he lost at WrestleMania earlier this year.

After the show went off air, WWE posted the following video where Becky Lynch is seen helping the now former Universal Champion as both the stars make their way to the backstage area:

There is no word yet on what the company is planning for Rollins after this and we would have to see if he goes after Lesnar or continues his rivalry with Baron Corbin after the show.

The final betting odds for all of the matches that will take place at the Extreme Rules event have been released.

Universal Champion Seth Rollins and RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch are favored to retain their titles over Baron Corbin and Lacey Evans at -560. Roman Reigns & The Undertaker are favored to beat Drew McIntyre & Shane McMahon. There are no title changes expected to take place at this show. 

The favorites to win are listed as – while the underdogs are listed with +. Here are the final betting odds courtesy of 5 Dimes:
