Extreme Rules 2022 set for Philadelphia return; Updated WWE PLE schedule

The
city
of
Brotherly
Love
was
the
home
for
Paul
Heyman’s
Extreme
Championship
Wrestling
(ECW)
which
happened
to
be
the
stomping
grounds
for
some
of
the
most
infamous
hardcore
matches
in
professional
wrestling
history.

Later,
Vince
McMahon
took
over
the
brand
and
dissolved
it
with
the
WWE
to
give
birth
to
this
Extreme
Rules
concept
which
was
later
converted
into
a
gimmick-based
pay-per-view
event.

This
year’s
Extreme
Rules
yearly
edition
will
go
down
from
the
Wells
Fargo
Center,
in
Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania
on
October
8.
WWE’s
announcement
also
noted
that
tickets
for
the
event
will
go
on
sale
Friday,
July
15
at
10
AM
ET
via
the
venue’s
official
website.

As
per
the
tradition
of
Extreme
Rules,
a
number
of
matches
take
place
on
that
night
under
“extreme”
stipulations
like
a
Tables
Match,
Ladders
Match,
or
even
an
Eye
for
an
Eye
match.
Then
an
Extreme
Rules
Match
generally
headlines
the
event
where
WWE
performers
basically
receive
a
“No-DQ
plus
Anything
Goes”
capacity.

This
will
be
the
second
time
only
that
an
Extreme
Rules
broadcast
will
emanate
from
Philly’s
Wells
Fargo
Center
as
the
promotion
previously
presented
the
2019
installment
of
the
premium
live
event
from
the
same
venue.

On
that
night,
Brock
Lesnar
became
the
Universal
Champion
in
the
main
event
match
by
cashing
in
his
Money
In
The
Bank
contract
on
the
former
champion,
Seth
Rollins.
It
was
also
the
same
night
that
The
Undertaker
had
his
final
match
in
front
of
a
live
audience.

In
more
news,
this
will
also
be
the
first
time
that
a
WWE
premium
live
event
will
be
hosted
in
Philadelphia
since
Elimination
Chamber
in
March
2020.
It
was
WWE’s
last
major
event
before
the
COVID-19
global
pandemic
forced
the
company
to
produce
PPVs
and
weekly
TV
shows
from
a
closed-set
environment.
