WWE’s first pay-per-view since SummerSlam will take place Sunday night as the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio, hosts Extreme Rules.
The 2021 edition of Extreme Rules largely exists as a bridge between SummerSlam season and WWE’s biggest events of the fall. The WWE draft, WWE’s return to Saudi Arabia and Survivor Series are all taking place over the next two months.
The first match for October’s Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia has already been announced, with Roman Reigns set to take on Brock Lesnar. But before that happens, Reigns will defend his universal championship against “The Demon” Finn Bálor in an Extreme Rules match in the main event of Sunday’s PPV.
