Seth Rollins, Finn Bálor, Samoa Joe, Bray Wyatt and Roman Reigns will fight for a chance to take on Universal Champion Brock Lesnar at Great Balls of Fire in July.
Braun Strowman was rumoured to be Lesnar’s first opponent, but his elbow injury made WWE officials doubtful about his availability for the show.
The elbow issue was initially believed to be a minor operation that would require 4 to 8 weeks of recovery, but as we reported earlier, Strowman’s injury is more severe than it initially appeared to be and will require more recovery time. The following is the statement released by the WWE on regarding Strowman’s injury.
The second match that was announced was the rematch between Bayley and the Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss. During the segment, Bliss attacked Bayley with a kendo stick which led Angle to book a ‘kendo stick on a pole’ match for the Raw Women’s Championship.
The third match that was announced for Extreme Rules was an Intercontinental Championship match between Dean Ambrose and The Miz. After Ambrose hit The Miz with a low blow, The Awesome One complained to Angle backstage and a rematch was announced for Extreme Rules.
Lastly, the Cruiserweight Championship will also be defended as the champion Neville, takes on his rival Austin Aries in their third championship match on pay-per-view. As of now, the official matches for Extreme Rules are the following:
Extreme Rules is a Raw-exclusive pay-per-view which will take place on June 4, 2017, at the Royal Farms Arena in Baltimore, Maryland. Tune in three weeks from now to see which wrestlers emerge victorious.
