WWE “Extreme Rules 2022” (Wrestling Review)

WWE

Extreme Rules

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Oct. 8th, 2022

 

Good Old Fashioned Donnybrook Six Man Tag Team Match
Imperium (Giovanni Vinci, Gunther & Ludwig Kaiser) vs. The Brawling Brutes (Butch, Ridge Holland & Sheamus)

A fantastic opening match. Really good spots with back and forth action between both teams. Imperium being more old school and not using weapons played well for them story wise. Sheamus winning makes sense as the feud will likely go on. It also was the perfect match to open up with the crowd eating it up. 

4.25 / 5

WWE SmackDown Women’s Title Extreme Rules Match
Liv Morgan (c) vs. Ronda Rousey

A decent but sloppy match. Ronda winning was expected as Liv isn’t a long term champ even if I did enjoy her as champ. The table spot worked to help Liv get a close pin but Ronda played dominate most of the match. 

3 / 5

Strap Match
Drew McIntyre vs. Karrion Kross (w/Scarlett)

God this match was a drag. Half the match was pretty bad brawling before it even started. Granted its a hard match to do with a strap match and no blood allowed, but this dragged. Add in Scarlett using pepper spray to end the match it was just awful. 

1 / 5

WWE RAW Women’s Title Ladder Match
Bianca Belair (c) vs. Bayley

A decent ladder match here that never tried to do anything crazy really. Bianca looked like a fighting champ against Bayley who was super aggressive most of the match. Some good spots and back and forth here too helped this along. Could have used a few minutes shaved off though. 

2.5 / 5

I Quit Match
Edge vs. Finn Balor

I Quit matches are long but this one just dragged for big parts of it. The finish works here for being cheap and since Judgement Day played such a large part of it. Beth Phenix coming in was a good story part too. Cutting this match down some time wise though would have been fantastic. 

3 / 5

Fight Pit Match (Special Referee: Daniel Cormier)
Seth Rollins vs. Matt Riddle

A solid match with some odd confusing rules. The 2 level cage was fun though. Final big spot was really good but a lackluster finish after that was a bit odd. A good match to close the show though. 

3 / 5
