WWE Extreme Rules 2022 Results, Live Match Card Updates, Review, And Surprises

It’s time for things to get a little extreme as WWE is hosting the PLE/PPV Extreme Rules. However, unlike previous versions of this event, WWE is making Extreme Rules 2022 special: Every match has a gimmick. Check below for our live coverage of every match and a review to go along with it. Right now, you can watch the Kickoff Show below for free.

Taking place at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, some of your favorite WWE wrestlers will appear in this very streamlined event, as there are only six matches on the card. One of the most-anticipated bouts on the card is Bianca Belair defending her Raw Women’s Championship against Bayley in a ladder match. Of course, there’s a very good chance we’ll see Iyo Sky and Dakota Kai of Damage CTRL cause problems for Belair.

There could also be some huge surprises over the course of the evening. No, we probably won’t see someone drive a tractor to the ring again, but there have been a lot of rumors that the current White Rabbit mystery happening on WWE programming may be leading to the return of Bray Wyatt. However, it’s also been reported to be like a dozen other wrestlers, so who knows. But considering Extreme Rules used to be called “The Horror Show,” and that was a whole thing with The Fiend, maybe Wyatt is returning?

If you’re pumped for Extreme Rules in the US, and want to watch, you can buy it through your satellite or cable provider, or watch it on the Peacock streaming service. And although Peacock does have a free tier, you will not be able to watch the WWE event through that. You’ll need a Premium ($5 a month, with ads) or Premium Plus Peacock ($10 a month, no ads) account. Regardless of which tier you choose, there will be a few WWE-related ads throughout the show.

There are multiple ways to watch Peacock . Aside from watching it on mobile devices and a PC, you can stream the service on Amazon Fire devices, Android TV, Apple TV, LG Smart TVs, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Roku, Samsung Smart TVs, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xfinity, and more.

For those abroad watching the PPV, you still get to watch it on the WWE Network, you lucky ducks.

Main Card

The Brawling Brutes vs. Imperium (Six-Man Tag Team Good Old Fashioned Donnybrook Match)

The Brawling Brutes win by pin.

Mat: Finally, the Goode Ol’ Fashioned Donnybrook Match we’ve all been waiting for. I hope it’s as impactful as a Chicago Street Fight… or a Hollywood Backlot Brawl. Listen, we knew exactly what we were getting into with this match, regardless of what it was called. It’s a bunch of chaps having a go at one another.

This match has no right to be as good as it is nor go on as long as it did. It just needed to warm up the crowd. However, we got one of the more memorable brawls in WWE history that was wildly fun. I am a little disappointed that the barrels weren’t knocked over, or rolled at someone, but this was a balls to the wall battle that was a ton of fun to watch. (Chris mentioned to me the barrels being rolled at someone was done at All Out. But like, I don’t care. I want it again.)

Anyway, Shane McMahon is the White Rabbit, right?

7.5/10

Chris: Why was there a picture of Sheamus’s grandfather at ringside with the barrels and stuff? Michael Cole noted that Imperium destroyed it, but I blame Sheamus for putting it there. Anyway, this is the perfect way to kick off what looks like a show full of banger matches because it perfectly sets the tone for a wild night of action. I love how this turned into a Sheamus showcase. He was down and out, then came back and destroyed everyone in his way, including Gunther.

What’s especially great about this match is it’s essentially a street fight and the ringside area was filled with potential weapons, but the action was largely just these six people smacking the crap out of each other. Don’t get me wrong, there were still some weapons, especially in the home stretch of the match, but so much of the physicality was done with fists that it made both teams look even stronger.

It also helps that the feud between the Brawling Brutes and Imperium is still very engaging. We want to see these people beat each other up. And the right team–the Brutes–won here. This keeps Sheamus alive as an Intercontinental Championship contender and goes to show the Brutes aren’t to be messed with.

8/10

Liv Morgan (c) vs. Ronda Rousey

(Extreme Rules Match for the Smackdown Women’s Championship)

Rousey wins by submission.
