Here is everything you oughta know about the WWE PPV as it airs on Peacock.
Things got very extreme the night of October 8 as the PLE/PPVExtreme Rulesaired on Peacock.
Of course, we saw Iyo Sky and Dakota Kai of Damage CTRL cause problems for Belair.

There were also some huge surprises over the course of the evening.
Regardless of which tier you choose, there will be a few WWE-related ads throughout the show.
There are multiple ways to watchPeacock.
Additionally, PredictionBot 3000 v4.0 is back, making nonsensical predictions for the event.
Below, you’ll find outcomes for each Extreme Rules match as it happens.
Keep checking in with GameSpot over the evening as we update the results and add reviews for every match.
Kickoff Show
The preshow begins at 4 PM PT/7 PM ET.
We’ll link the YouTube video below when it arrives so you could watch it live.
Additional Extreme Rules card notes from the Kickoff Show will be posted below.
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.
It’s a bunch of chaps having a go at one another.
It just needed to warm up the crowd.
However, we got one of the more memorable brawls in WWE history that was wildly fun.
(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.
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.
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.
Mat:So the buildup to this match was Rousey calling Morgan “Hooters Barbie” a lot.
But like, isn’t that kinda redundant?
That whole place was originally built on pretty women working there.
It’s like calling someone as an insult “Topless Chippendale’s dancer.”
I don’t care for the Rousey win, but I really like the finish here.
Anyway, Bo Dallas is the White Rabbit, right?
But let’s be honest, Ronda’s never been a good talker.
But let’s talk about this actual match.
I genuinely dig that Ronda avoided weapons at first, while Liv tried to use them.
I loved Liv using the fire extinguisher and that Ronda finally put the bat to work.
Swap the bat with a kendo stick and you have a much more believable moment.
Even still, this was one of the most memorable outings for both of these women in recent memory.
Drew McIntyre vs. Karrion Kross (Strap Match)
Kross wins by pin.
Mat:Strap in for this one!
Why is he still bringing that to the ring, anyway?
Kross is fantastic to watch wrestling, and I love hearing him talk trash to his opponents.
The finish with the pepper spray was a bit silly, but I guess it works here.
Overall, just a solid match, but not anything to write home about.
Also, McIntyre never cut the strap with his sword.
Anyway, Joe Gacy is the White Rabbit, right?
6/10
Chris:FALL AND PRAY!
I love Karrion Kross.
I do not love Drew McIntyre’s sword nonsense.
I’m also not a fan of the rules for this match.
That’s not nearly as exciting.
At least they started the match with a brawl through the crowd, though, so that helps.
Well, for one, a more satisfying ending.
Granted, this cements Kross and Scarlett as serious heel threats.
That should be fun.
Mat:I fully enjoy ladder matches, as a whole.
It’s such a simple but effective gimmick for a match.
The build to this was exceptionally compelling, and my expectations were pretty high for this one.
Luckily, this match delivered the goods.
In the end, Belair got the win, and it works.
She’s been a great champion, and once again proved why she’s the EST.
Anyway, Man Mountain Rock is the White Rabbit, right?
Chris:The thing I like about this match is it shows who has the ladder match experience.
Bianca is constantly trying to run up the ladder, while Bayley is doing the opposite.
She’s being slow and methodical about it.
This was a great match, full of excellent moments.
That said, I don’t love the ending.
Edge vs. Finn Balor (I Quit Match)
Edge quits.
Mat:Is Peacock cross-promoting the new Hellraiser movie on Hulu?
I’m not mad at it though.
Just making very dumb jokes.
You hear me, HHH?
For as awkward as the Judgment Day stuff started, this has been a great match.
Let’s talk the finish.
Judgment Day gets Edge to quit by threatening to hit Beth Phoenix with a chair in the head.
It is the perfect finish for this match.
Edge doesn’t look weak, as he’s doing what’s best for the love of his life.
And Judgment Day looks even more heelish, with ultra-heat thanks to threatening to chairshot Edge’s wife.
HOWEVER, WWE, you’re gonna wanna stop it with the canned boos and cheers.
It’s exceptionally annoying, especially during the finish of this match.
Anyway, the Artist Formerly Known as Prince Iaukea is the White Rabbit, right?
But I’m also not against it.
Plus his evil theme song is a banger.
It should be no surprise that this match was awesomely brutal.
These two are the goods and I Quit matches are often a blast.
So having them beat each other up all over the arena was just good fun.
Edge bringing a hockey stick into the brawl was perfectly Canadian.
And it all came at the right time.
These two were made to face each other.
And can we talk for a second about how into all of this the crowd was?
So far, this is my match of the night.
And we got a conchairto to go.
Special guest refs are always fun.
So I mentioned my excitement for Cormier, but then, he got involved… too involved.
Then, the match was over quickly after that.
There was no breathing room after that moment.
Seemed like a weird finish.
It was a highly enjoyable match overall, but I wanted a little bit more.
Then, we see The Fiend for a split second.
We then get to see Bray Wyatt’s new look, with the white mask on.
The mask is removed, and it’s Wyatt.
Chris:FIGHT PIT!
The ref should have very little involvement in the Fight Pit.
Guest referees are great if they’re part of the storyline.
This is just unnecessary stunt casting.
If you haven’t seen a Fight Pit match before, this was essentially NXT’s pandemic innovation.
And it’s a fantastic match punch in.
Also, I love Seth’s RVD tribute gear.
No better place than Philly to pay homage to ECW.
Early in the match, Cormier was way too involved, pulling the wrestlers off each other.
Given Riddle has the Fight Pit experience, I expected him to be the man to beat early on.
What a fun match, though.
It all worked extremely well for me.
And Seth tapping out, giving Riddle the win, was the absolute right call for this particular match.
What an excellent outing from these two men.
And then, the Bray stuff started with real-life versions of the Funhouse characters.
This is, honestly, so freaking good.
Seeing the dilapidated Funhouse is such a cool visual.
9.5/10
