WWE Has Once Again Made A Change To The Name Of The Upcoming EXTREME RULES PPV

To keep fans invested during this current audience-free era, WWE has had to go to some unique measures with their PPVs. That's included dubbing Extreme Rules "The Horror Show," but another change has been made.

After WWE quietly announced that this year's Extreme Rules PPV would be called Extreme Rules: The Horror Show, there were rumblings online that people in WWE were unhappy with the name (especially given everything that's happening in the world right now). 

Now, another change has been made, as Friday's SmackDown confirmed that it's now being referred to as "The Horror Show at Extreme Rules." It's quite the mouthful, and while there's no specific reasoning behind the change, it seems likely that Vince McMahon has randomly changed his mind as he's prone to do. 

"The Horror Show" is a reference to the Wyatt Swamp Fight match which will see Universal Champion Braun Strowman take on Bray Wyatt. However, it's a theme which could find its way into other matches as Rey Mysterio vs. Seth Rollins is said to be an "Eye for an Eye" match. 

Here's the current, confirmed card for the PPV:
 

Wyatt Swamp Fight
Braun Strowman vs. Bray Wyatt

WWE Championship
Drew McIntyre (Champion) vs. Dolph Ziggler

WWE Raw Women’s Championship
Asuka (Champion) vs. Sasha Banks

WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship
Bayley (Champion) vs. Nikki Cross


The Horror Show at Extreme Rules will air on Sunday, July 17th at 7 pm ET on the WWE Network.
