Rules? We don’t need no stinking rules! At WWE Extreme Rules 2018, the superstars of Raw and SmackDown will do whatever it takes to walk out with a W.
It’s fitting that WWE Extreme Rules 2018 is set for this Sunday, July 15. By the time of the opening bell, it will be 11 days since the release of The First Purge, the latest in a film series about laws going away for 12 hours. That’s basically what Extreme Rules is all about, just inside a wrestling ring.
The Extreme Rules pay per view was borne out of the legacy of Extreme Championship Wrestling. After a pair of “One Night Stand” ECW reunion shows, the first Extreme Rules pay per view was held in 2009. Since then, the annual show features a variety of stipulation matches, including the titular “extreme rules.”
For the tenth edition of the pay per view, WWE is heading to Pittsburgh. The card is made up of 11 matches (with one of those scheduled for the Kickoff Show), featuring superstars from both Raw and SmackDown Live. Five of the eleven matches feature some kind of stipulation, ranging from the full monty — Extreme Rules — to pretty lame — a shark cage. (Yes. Again.)
Now, it’s time for some of the staff here at Daily DDT to make some predictions on the card. Just who is going to pick up a win? Which match may steal the show? Will Roman Reigns again be in the main event?
