Most of the matches at the recently bygone PPVs, Wrestlemania, Money in the Bank and Backlash 2020 took place in the same arena which is WWE’s own property. Unless the company can arrange a different capacity in this coronavirus pandemic, the shows are unlikely to go out of the PC, and hence Extreme Rules will also be carried out under the same circumstances.
Speaking of Extreme Rules, it is one of the most favorite gimmick-based PPV events of the WWE Universe. It is one night of the year where most of the matches take place under different stipulations bringing more excitements for the fans. The buildups for the PPV event will begin from this week’s episodes of WWE Monday Night Raw and Friday Night Smackdown.
