Drew McIntyre is now officially added to the match card

WWE's upcoming premium live event, Extreme Rules 2022, is expected to be interesting, as the recent episodes of SmackDown and RAW have been entertaining. Major stars will compete under specific stipulations, and the stakes will be as high as possible.

With little time left for the event, the company has confirmed several matches, and a few more bouts will be added shortly.

Some interesting developments have taken place on this week's Friday Night Show, so here is the updated Extreme Rules 2022 match card after WWE SmackDown:

  • SmackDown Women's Championship: Liv Morgan (c) vs. Ronda Rousey - Extreme Rules match - After a lot of drama and Ronda Rousey's suspension, the two stars have agreed to go extreme for the coveted title.
  • Seth Rollins vs. Matt Riddle - Fight Pit match - Rollins and Riddle have been feuding for a long time, and the rivalry has reached an all-time high. The company will bring back the concept of a Fight Pit match, a stipulation where a cage surrounds the ring, and the only ways to win are via submission or knockout.
  • Drew McIntyre vs. Karrion Kross - Strap match - After Kross caused multiple obstacles in McIntyre's path, The Scottish Warrior has made sure that his opponent will not be able to run away at WWE Extreme Rules 2022. A strap match was the ideal stipulation considering McIntyre's intentions.

Besides these matches, fans will probably witness more exciting bouts on October 8 at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.
