The 2022 version of WWE Extreme Rules featured six stipulation matches with only two titles on the line. [Extreme Rules](https://www.wwe.com/shows/extremerules) is the third last [WWE Premium Live Event](https://tjrwrestling.net/every-wwe-pay-per-view-review/) (or pay-per-view) of the year. I think part of the reason they do Saturday shows in the fall especially is to avoid the NFL Sunday night game, which is a smart move.

Here is everything you need to know about the WWE PPV as it airs on Peacock.

It also helps that the feud between the Brawling Brutes and Imperium is still very engaging. What's especially great about this match is it's essentially a street fight and the ringside area was filled with potential weapons, but the action was largely just these six people smacking the crap out of each other. Anyway, this is the perfect way to kick off what looks like a show full of banger matches because it perfectly sets the tone for a wild night of action. (Chris mentioned to me the barrels being rolled at someone was done at All Out. Additional Extreme Rules card notes from the Kickoff Show will be posted below. Below, you'll find outcomes for each Extreme Rules match as it happens. It's a bunch of chaps having a go at one another. Regardless of which tier you choose, there will be a few WWE-related ads throughout the show. Additionally, PredictionBot 3000 v4.0 is back, making nonsensical predictions for the event. And although Peacock does have a free tier, you will not be able to watch the WWE event through that. Check below for our live coverage of every match and a review to go along with it. Taking place at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, some of your favorite WWE wrestlers will appear in this very streamlined event, as there are only six matches on the card.

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 ...

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. 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. A trilogy match between Liv Morgan and Ronda Rousey is expected to headline the card with Extreme Rules stipulations at play.

Ronda Rousey is gunning for the SmackDown Women's Championship, and Seth Rollins goes into the Fight Pit with Matt Riddle.

Sheamus put Gunther through the announcer's table with a Celtic Cross powerbomb. Butch took out everyone outside with a moonsault off barrels set up at ringside, leaving Sheamus and Gunther in the ring. He took out Kaiser and Vinci, which allowed Sheamus and Gunther to showdown in the middle of the ring. Morgan setup a table inside the ring, but Rousey caught her with a knee to the face and choked Morgan on the ring ropes. Morgan then hit Rousey with a series of chair shots -- among the weakest chair shots I've ever seen. Sheamus, Butch and Ridge Holland (The Brawling Brutes) defeated Gunther, Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci (Imperium) in a Good Old Fashion Donnybrook match (a street fight) to open Extreme Rules. Morgan got a two count, and Rousey immediately countered the pinfall into an armbar. Rousey grabbed the baseball bat Morgan brought to the ring, but Morgan sprayed Rousey with a fire extinguisher. Rousey tied Morgan to the apron with her black belt and barraged her with baseball bat strikes. Morgan setup a steel chair between the top and middle rope, then tried to slingshot Rousey into it. Kross beat down McIntyre with the strap for a while, then McIntyre Hulked Up and mounted a comeback. The result was a match that was largely just there.

While the "White Rabbit" teasers have been the biggest mystery in pro wrestling over the past few weeks, we also had some great matches to watch this weekend.

It was awkward to set up, but the payoff was worth it. - The final KOD of the match was scary. He attacked The Scottish Warrior before the bell and they fought for several minutes while the ref looked on from the ring helpless to stop them. It didn't take long for both women to begin utilizing the ladders that were sprinkled around the ring. - The shot Morgan took from the bat as she jumped off the stairs was wild. Some of the chair and bat shots may not have looked great, but they had enough spots using other weapons and moves to make up for it. Dakota Kai and Iyo Sky did not stay at ringside, but their presence loomed throughout the match. After finally getting her hands on the bat, Morgan began to turn the tide in her favor. It's difficult to say exactly what the issue was, but something just didn't click despite a fantastic effort from both Superstars. Rousey prevented her from using the bat right away, so Morgan was immediately on defense without her weapon. This match was chaotic in the best possible way. All of it came into play along with several other things in the ringside area.

The White Rabbit is real. Bray Wyatt showed up at Extreme Rules after weeks of teasing a return.

Morgan set up a table inside the ring, but Rousey caught her with a knee to the face and choked Morgan on the ring ropes. Morgan set up a steel chair between the top and middle rope, then tried to slingshot Rousey into it. Rousey grabbed the baseball bat Morgan brought to the ring, but Morgan sprayed Rousey with a fire extinguisher. Kross beat down McIntyre with the strap for a while, then McIntyre Hulked Up and mounted a comeback. In among the most wince-inducing moments of the match, Bayley setup a ladder between the barricade and the ring steps on the outside, and laid Belair out on it. A ladder half was in the ring after snapping earlier in the match. Belair fell off the ladder and fell out of the ring. Early in the match she reprimanded a young fan for calling her a loser, and later on snatched a sign from a fan in the crowd. Ripley got two chairs from under the ring and set up a Conchairto on Phoenix, which got Edge to say "I quit". Balor had setup a chair between the top and middle ropes in the corner turnbuckle and tried to toss Edge into it. Riddle beat the count, and Riddle climbed up the cage to the platforms on its second level. The best match of the night was the "I Quit" Match between Edge and Finn Balor, which the latter won.

Here is everything you need to know about the WWE PPV as it airs on Peacock.

It's smart of WWE to just give us the confirmation and a taste of Wyatt for now, because Raw is not unmissable. And getting the return of the maskless Bray Wyatt is an excellent touch--though he does still have a mask some of the time, it seems, and it looks very inspired by the movie Black Phone. There was a lot of silliness in this match with all of the shenanigans, but it all absolutely worked for me. So far, this is my match of the night. And can we talk for a second about how into all of this the crowd was? It is the perfect finish for this match. Normally, I write a little here and there while the match was going on, but I was really just enjoying the match. These two are the goods and I Quit matches are often a blast. Mat: So the buildup to this match was Rousey calling Morgan "Hooters Barbie" a lot. What's especially great about this match is it's essentially a street fight and the ringside area was filled with potential weapons, but the action was largely just these six people smacking the crap out of each other. You can get the details of Wyatt's return to WWE and the results for every Extreme Rules match below. Anyway, this is the perfect way to kick off what looks like a show full of banger matches because it perfectly sets the tone for a wild night of action.

The White Rabbit was finally unveiled at the pay-per-view in Philadelphia.

For week, we had been getting cryptic “White Rabbit” Easter eggs on both Raw and Smackdown and fans immediately connected the dots to a potential Wyatt return. We then got a cryptic video, followed by Wyatt himself appearing on stage and revealing himself to the ecstatic Philadelphia crowd. After weeks and weeks of speculation, Bray Wyatt made his anticipated return to the WWE following the main event of the Extreme Rules pay-per-view on Saturday.

Extreme Rules also featured the crowning of Ronda Rousey as SmackDown women's champion, a number of hard-hitting matches and a visceral conclusion to the "I ...

He blew out the lantern and the screen went black with a new logo flashing on the screen. I don't know that it's "match of the year" in terms of in-ring action, but it stands out enough to warrant a perfect grade for the creative. Rollins continued to lay on the punishment with a Rob Van Dam-inspired frog splash off the cage wall. Rhea Ripley appeared out of nowhere and handcuffed Edge to the ropes. Belair fended them off with a messy double KOD off the ropes, but the distraction was enough for Bayley to gain the upper hand. The action finally spilled back into the ring, following a detour into the crowd, with Balor in firm control. A pair of messy spots and a confusing conclusion hurt a match that was shaping up to be the best in their series. Bayley returned the favor with a modified sunset flip into a ladder leaning in the corner. The champion laid out the challenger on a flat ladder and creamed her with a standing springboard moonsault. Kross' attempts to avoid the stipulation made sense considering his tactics in the lead-up to the match and his general penchant for mind games. There were no titles on the line, it wasn't quite a "Match of the Year" contender and there was no major plot development beyond extending the feud. The only thing holding the match back from "A" or "A+" territory is a lack of big-time stakes.

Kevin Pantoja checks in with his full review and report of tonight's WWE Extreme Rules 2022 show featuring the return of Bray Wyatt.

It was good but it lacked some of the intensity I wanted. Edge had it won with the crossface using a piece of a steel chair but Rhea got involved and laid out Beth with brass knux. They fought atop the pit for big spots like a corner powerbomb before Seth took a weak tumble to the mat and Riddle came off the top with a sick senton. Ronda made the mistake of putting her in a submission but taking it easy so Liv was able to get out and get the bat, only for Ronda to take her down and get it anyway. That included when Bayley put the ladder on Bianca and climbed it as Bianca just overpowered her and knocked the ladder over. They did a spot where they countered each other and it led to a Curb Stomp which was fine but again, didn’t feel right in this setting. Bianca hit the move with Bayley landing on the ladder and Bianca retained. Beth won out in their short fight with a Spear and got the key to rescue Edge, who hit the Spear on Priest, and finally got his hands on Dominik, who tried to back off and make nice. A distraction from Scarlett allowed Kross to turn the tide and reel off a bunch of whips with the strap as Scarlett shouted for more. I turned it on as Bianca slammed Bayley onto the ladder and then hit a moonsault. It led to everyone fighting on the ground only for Sheamus and Gunther to get up nose to nose and square off. Drew had it won as he set up for the Claymore only for Scarlett to get in the way.

WWE Extreme Rules was a mixed event with highs and lows throughout. While the match quality did not quite live up to expectations, the stories told built...

It's unclear what path he will take next, but WWE has shown a memorable reverence to his past by highlighting all the aspects of his unique characters. One of the most creative minds in the business, no one ever expected he would leave, certainly not as he did. He cannot afford a loss anytime soon and must beat serious competitors at the level of McIntyre in the months to come. The Prince challenged The Rated-R Superstar until the rest of his group found an opening to strike. If done right, The Herald of Doomsday can be as dominant on SmackDown as he was in NXT. Morgan will hopefully find a tag team partner and go after the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships in the immediate future. Many expected The Scottish Warrior to win the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship a month ago. Hopefully, he can add big performances to the memorable results. He was made by a victory that he could have easily failed to capture. The blue brand will move on and eventually switch to a rivalry such as Rousey vs. Instead, she passed out to the attack of the former UFC star. This ended her reign at 98 days, and she never got beyond the previous champion.

WWE put a lot of effort into making it feel special, with his old characters all appearing, which is something that leads to a lot of opportunities moving forward. It was a great finish to a match, and the fans bought into it heavily. His booking was hit-and-miss throughout his initial run with WWE, and that's something that needs to change this time around. This angle feels like it is over now, and WWE has the chance to create something completely new for Riddle. AJ Styles has also been involved with them as of late, therefore it would be a star-studded encounter to take place at an upcoming premium live event. Riddle has thrived since Randy Orton's injury, and his run as a singles talent has proven that he can get over massively with the WWE Universe. The former UFC star has been bringing in some sass and a lot of personality to make her heel character an arrogant one that people will hate. That is what Extreme Rules provided, with each match being a big one with detailed work put in place to make each encounter feel important. That is needed to help get her established as a top star once again, and it also makes Rousey entertaining to watch. While Roman Reigns isn't going to be around at all the premium live events, it would be smart to have some She's past the point of being a plucky underdog, and a heel turn could be just what she needs to execute that next step. Their presentation has been great so far, but it is clear that further work needs to be done in terms of developing his character to make fans care more about his matches.

Thomas Hall checks in with his full report of tonight's WWE Extreme Rules event, featuring the WWE return of Bray Wyatt.

Rollins gets in a few more shots but Riddle catches him with an RKO, which is enough to send Rollins back down to the mat (not much of a fall when he grabs the edge and hangs from the platform before dropping). Back in and Rhea Ripley pops in to handcuff Edge to the top. I’m not sure on this one and a lot of that is due to how the ending of the match went. Edge drives him face-first into the corner but Balor gets in a shot to the face to take over, including stomping Edge in the corner. Bayley picks up a ladder but Belair picks up Bayley (and the ladder) and KODs them both, allowing Belair to pull the title down and retain at 16:38. A Crossface has Edge in more trouble but he fights out and grabs the Edgecator for a bit of a flashback. The running elbow off the apron hits Belair on the ladder but Belair is back up with a ladder shot of her own. The ending was one of the ways they could go and McIntyre keeps face, but Kross needed to go over here after a brutal match and that is what happened. The rest of the Brutes get back in and beat down Gunther, allowing Sheamus to hit a heck of a shillelagh shot to knock Gunther silly. That means she needs a title and by pinning Belair at Clash At The Castle, she earned the shot here in a ladder match. Back in and it’s Butch and Holland getting beaten up, including the double running dropkick to Butch in the corner. Kaiser is tied in the Tree of Woe for a running dropkick but the rest of Imperium comes over for the save.

WWE's Extreme Rules premium live event was a show that featured mostly good matches, some questionable creative decisions within them, and a closing angle ...

It was a nice nod to that particular creative decision and proof of the booking team's attention to detail. Rollins beat Riddle straight-up at Clash at the Castle and had no real beef left with The Original Bro, but that did not stop the creative team from milking the rivalry for an additional three weeks. Then Beth Phoenix came to the aid of her husband, stared down and then brawled with Rhea Ripley. That can easily be retconned come Monday's Raw, but it was such a glaringly bad creative decision that one has to wonder why Kai and Sky would even be used in that spot. The Raw Women's Championship defense by Bianca Belair, which saw her battle Bayley in a Ladder Match, was very good in and of itself. They could have failed to deliver and infuriated an audience that had been chanting "we want Wyatt" well before the event went on the air Saturday night.
