The 2020 event was the 12th event under the Extreme Rules chronology and featured wrestlers from the Raw and SmackDown brands. The defunct Extreme Championship Wrestling promotion, which WWE acquired in 2003, originally used the "extreme rules" term to describe the regulations for all of its matches WWE adopted the term and has since used it in place of "hardcore match" or "hardcore rules". The concept of the show is that the event features various matches that are contested under hardcore rules and generally features one Extreme Rules match.
In other prominent matches, Seth Rollins defeated Rey Mysterio in an Eye for an Eye match, and in the opening bout, Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura defeated The New Day ( Big E and Kofi Kingston) in a tables match to win the SmackDown Tag Team Championship.Įxtreme Rules is an annual gimmick pay-per-view (PPV) and WWE Network event produced by WWE since 2009. In the penultimate match, Drew McIntyre defeated Dolph Ziggler to retain the WWE Championship in an Extreme Rules match in which the stipulation only applied to Ziggler McIntyre had to wrestle under regular singles match rules. In the main event, Bray Wyatt, who briefly returned to his cult leader persona for this match, defeated Braun Strowman in a Wyatt Swamp Fight, which was produced as a cinematic match. Seven matches were contested at the event, including one on the Kickoff pre-show. It was subsequently the final WWE pay-per-view for Raw and SmackDown to be held at the Performance Center, as WWE's events for the two brands were moved to Orlando's Amway Center the following month in a bio-secure bubble called the WWE ThunderDome. As a result, and just like the majority of WWE's other shows since mid-March, the event was moved to the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida. The event was originally scheduled to be held at the SAP Center in San Jose, California however, the Santa Clara County government restricted public gatherings indefinitely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was the only Extreme Rules event to have an altered title, and as its name implies, the event had horror-themed matches on the card.
While the majority of the event aired live from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, the main event was pre-recorded at an undisclosed location about two hours outside of Orlando on July 16–17. The event aired on pay-per-view (PPV) and the WWE Network on July 19, 2020. It was held for wrestlers from the promotion's Raw and SmackDown brand divisions.
