WWE is getting hardcore at Extreme Rules. The promotion touches down in Philadelphia on Saturday night with six matches all contested under special stipulations incentivizing violence, a significant departure from how this event was built just one year ago under a different creative regime.
A trilogy match between Liv Morgan and Ronda Rousey is expected to headline the card with Extreme Rules stipulations at play. Morgan, the SmackDown women’s champion, has won both of their previous encounters; however, both outcomes were less than decisive. Extreme Rules also features a number of stipulations atypical to WWE: an MMA-themed Fight Pit between (one-time UFC star) Matt Riddle and Seth Rollins, a strap match between Drew McIntyre and Karrion Kross, and an Irish-themed Donnybrook match, among others.
WWE Extreme Rules will be presented live on Saturday evening from Wells Fargo Center. It is set to begin at 8 p.m. ET with a kickoff show starting one hour earlier at 7 p.m. on Peacock. CBS Sports will be with you the whole way through the event, providing updates and highlights as the action goes down in the live blog below.
