Let`s extreme.@WWERomanReigns against #TheDemon @FinnBalor for the #UniversalChampionship LIVE RIGHT NOW streams on @peacockTV in the US and @WWENetwork everywhere else! 🦚🌎 @HeymanHustle t.co/zvJycsyoUb t.co/aEwGYUp0uE pic.twitter.com/55q7dVxPxU In the evening, many championships and some extreme conditions are at stake. This includes Roman Reigns competing against the demon in an extreme rules match. During this battle, anything is possible and Reigns will need help because Finn Bálor`s demonic character can be a beast. This is one of the many highly anticipated matches of the evening. The event was originally scheduled to take place on July 18 at the SAP Center in San Jose, California, but was postponed and postponed to 2020 due to issues caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Although the theme of the event is based on hardcore wrestling, for the 2021 event, only the Main Event Match contained a layout based on hardcore. The 2021 event also reverted to its original name after the previous year`s event was dubbed The Horror Show at Extreme Rules. The show was also notable as it was the first and so far only Extreme Rules event where no titles changed hands – five championships were defended and retained. The new day was extremely over in front of a hot crowd in Columbus, OH. This game was everywhere. Aside from the fact that we listened to "The Demon" non-stop from the commentary team for the duration of the game – the most boring thing in the world – things finally got extreme with an extreme rules match that delivered on what we were promised.
It was a solid game until the end. The Usos came, as planned, to attack Balor. All were removed, then Balor`s intro started playing and he floated on the floor to the rhythm of the heart to gain more life. It was the strangest and perhaps the most lame moment of the evening. What followed, however, was Balor beating Reigns while Balors played the theme music, which was by far the most epic moment of the evening. Balor stepped on the top rope, about to win the match, and the ropes broke and Reigns got the pin and the win. This was Balor`s first loss as "The Demon" in WWE. It feels like it destroyed this character, who felt like a parody of himself in this game. From a wrestling point of view, it was great, but the last moments of this match were everywhere. Things seem to be getting extreme tonight as WWE`s Extreme Rules PPV arrives at your home.
This year`s edition will take place at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio. As the PPV is broadcast on Peacock, you can watch our live scores for all matches as the event is broadcast below. Universal Championship – Roman Reigns (c) vs. "The Demon" Finn Balor (Extreme Rules Match): Balor came out quickly, raking Reigns` eyes and face in the early stages, taking advantage of the lack of rules. Reigns quickly slipped out of the ring and grabbed a kendo stick, but Balor slipped out of the ring and grabbed a pack of several sticks, which he used to wear Reigns down with several hits in the middle. A chair was inserted into the match, and Balor managed to trample it in the center section of Reigns before taking the champion to the ring and leading him down the steel steps. The fight entered the crowd, with Reigns, a true cancer survivor, putting on a mask while continuing to attack Balor in the crowd. Every year since 2009, WWE has found time to go to extremes. Call it a nod to ECW, as the live pay-per-view/premium event called WWE Extreme Rules has its origins in the defunct promotion`s one-night stands, which were picked up after its acquisition in 2003. Here are the winners and losers of the extreme WWE PPV as it happens on Peacock. The Extreme Rules 2020 event was originally scheduled to take place at the SAP Center in San Jose, California, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it had to be moved to the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, and held behind closed doors. The SAP Center issued an official statement that it would host the 2021 event instead.
The site also announced that there would be no refunds (unless a new date was set within 60 days), but that purchased tickets would be accepted for the following year`s event. [5] However, in May 2021, it was reported that due to the ongoing pandemic, the 2021 event would take place on July 18 from the WWE ThunderDome biosafe bubble at the Yuengling Center in Tampa, Florida,[6] but after WWE announced that they would resume live in mid-July, that date was given to Money in the Bank instead. [7] Then, on July 9, 2021, WWE announced that Extreme Rules would take place on September 26 at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio,[3] which was the first date and venue announced for Clash of Champions. [8] If you`re waiting for Extreme Rules to start, you can skip the time by listening to the latest episode of GameSpot`s wrestling podcast, Wrestle Buddies. This week, Mat Elfring and Chris E. Hayner predict all Extreme Rules matches. The duo is joined by their sophisticated AI robot PredictionBot 3000, which is never supposed to go wrong. Watch the episode above. Also on the following episode of SmackDown, the 2021 WWE Draft began and ended with the October 4 episode of Raw. The draft results went into effect starting with the October 22 episode of SmackDown, the night after Crown Jewel. [27] Although not all games on an Extreme Rules map are actually played under these rules – meaning no DQ and no weapons are allowed – most of the main events were played. In addition, the show is usually the perfect place to find other gimmick matches with a similar spirit, such as the Fight Pit fight that took place during the 2022 edition.
On the following episode of SmackDown, it was announced that Becky Lynch would defend the SmackDown Women`s Championship against Bianca Belair and Sasha Banks in a triple threat match at Crown Jewel. [25] He never gets old. #ExtremeRules (via @WWE) pic.twitter.com/zPixFuSpRc Don`t miss a second of the action at kick-off #ExtremeRules!: t.co/nYUeYdnxzj🌍: t.co/aEwGYU7p64 t.co/NaCxEFFSLv NEXT: @MsCharlotteWWE defend the #WWERaw #WomensTitle against the crazy @AlexaBliss_WWE! 🦚 Stream #ExtremeRules LIVE on @peacockTV in the U.S. and @WWENetwork anywhere else. 🌎 t.co/NX8ZVJLtRf t.co/8tDzRburwc pic.twitter.com/zaRSvuJ2FS In the penultimate match, Becky Lynch defended the SmackDown Women`s Championship against Bianca Belair. 🦚 Belair opted for the KOD, but Lynch walked out of the ring. Lynch then opted for the Manhandle Slam and the Dis-Arm-Her, but Belair fought back both times. Near the end, outside, Lynch hit a hurricane down the steel staircase leading to Belair. Back in the ring, Lynch attempted an armbar, but Belair responded with a powerful bombshell for near failure.
Lynch banned the Dis-Arm-Her, but Belair retaliated and went to KOD, but Sasha Banks returned and attacked Belair, resulting in a no-contest in which Lynch retained the title. After that, Banks disposed Belair and Lynch with a stab in the back. The pay-per-view began with The New Day (WWE Champion Big E, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) vs. Bobby Lashley, AJ Styles and Omos in a six-man tag team match.[23] During the match, Kingston tried to turn the day into Big E, but Lashley pulled Big E off his apron and attacked him. Woods scored and hit a Tornado DDT on Lashley for a near miss. Lashley then hit Woods on a running power slam for a near failure. Big E scored and hit three suplexes belly to belly and a warrior splashing on styles. Big E and Kingston encountered a double stomp/powerbomb combination on styles, but Lashley broke the pin. Lashley opted for a javelin, but Kingston sent him out of the ring. Kingston took a suicide dive on Lashley, but Omos caught Kingston in the air with a chop.
When Lashley opted for the spear on Big E, Styles scored and missed a phenomenal forearm on Big E, while Lashley scored and Lashley accidentally hit a spear on Styles. Big E met the big end on Lashley to win the match. [23] Maybe Alexa Bliss is sad about the loss of her Lilly doll because they are really exhausted and there is no way for her to get another one. Balor`s theme music played as his heartbeat synchronized with his music, red lights and all, only for the string to break while he was on the top string. In recent months, Finn Balor has been directed by John Cena, Brock Lesnar and a table. Alexa Bliss is fantastic for owning this current character she represents. It`s entertaining and hard to take your eyes off your performance. The match comes down to Charlotte`s strength against Alexa`s tenacity, which plays to its obvious strengths. However, it has become a two-pronged pin-a-thon – front to back and front to back. It was tedious. Charlotte finally won and retained the title, which is good. The post-match fights were sparked by Charlotte, who destroyed Lilly, and Charlotte threw Alexa up and off the announcer`s table.
It was incredibly anticlimactic for a moment as the camera zoomed in on Lilly destroyed in the ring. Alexa ran back and screamed and focused, completely collapsed and foaming in her mouth. The moment seemed a bit long. Nothing really happened, except that Alexa looked tormented. During the entries, instead of the team of Spanish commentators, we heard the French commentary team. When the game started, it was only English, but for how long? So far, audio editions have been a real "horror show". Do you remember when that was a thing? This match was booked during the launch show during a six-man showdown, and it`s great to see New Day working together again in a PPV match.
