WWE Extreme Rules is the next pay-per-view stop of the company, and the Creative team is marketing this year's event as a 'Horror Show.' The organization has announced four matches for the show so far. Bayley will put her SmackDown Women's Championship on the line against Nikki Cross, while The Role Model's best friend, Sasha Banks, will try to win the RAW Women's title from Asuka.

On the men's side, the Universal Champion Braun Strowman will go head-to-head with Bray Wyatt in a 'Wyatt Swamp Fight' where the title will not be on the line. Also, Drew McIntyre will defend the WWE Championship against Dolph Ziggler.

Looking at the recent developments on WWE TV, we can say that Randy Orton would clash with The Big Show at this event, whereas Jeff Hardy and Sheamus could lock horns in a gimmick match.

Speaking of Extreme Rules, this PPV has been a part of WWE's calendar since 2009. Legendary Superstars like John Cena, Batista, Edge, Chris Jericho, Matt Hardy, CM Punk, and several others have been a part of this event. However, not every Superstar has enjoyed success at this PPV, as here are the five WWE Superstars with the most losses at Extreme Rules.


#5 Dolph Ziggler - 4 losses

Dolph Ziggler is one of the most underrated Superstars in the company right now. The Showoff has incredible in-ring talent, and he has put over several upcoming stars in the recent past. Ziggler has received a deserving push at this year's Extreme Rules as he will go one-on-one with the WWE Champion, Drew McIntyre, for the title.

Ziggler's record at Extreme Rules isn't one you would want to have heading into a WWE Championship against Drew McIntyre. The former World Heavyweight Champion has suffered four defeats at this show, including a 17-second loss to Kevin Owens last year.

The Showoff closed the show with a 5-4 win over Seth Rollins in an Ironman Match for the Intercontinental title at Extreme Rules 2018, but in 2016, he had lost to Baron Corbin on the kick-off show.

His other two defeats at the PPV came in 2010 and 2012, respectively. Like 2016, Ziggler featured on the pre-show of Extreme Rules 2010, losing to Kofi Kingston, and in 2012, he had failed to subdue Brodus Clay despite having Jack Swagger and Vickie Guerrero in his corner.

#4 Randy Orton - 4 losses

The Viper Randy Orton picked up a massive win over Edge at Backlash, and he would love to continue his momentum possibly against The Big Show. Although the company has not made the bout official yet, they teased a potential match-up for Extreme Rules between them on last week's RAW episode.

Randy Orton's losses at WWE Extreme Rules

While Randy Orton has the momentum by his side at the moment, his past performances at Extreme Rules have not been up to the mark. It is worth noting that Orton has not competed at this PPV since 2015, where he had lost to Seth Rollins in a Steel Cage match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. The year before that, he had united forces with his Evolution stablemates, only to lose to The Shield in a Six-man Tag Team Elimination Match.

Randy Orton featured on the match cards of the first two Extreme Rules events, but he could only open his account on the third show. In 2009, Batista beat him for the WWE Championship in a Steel Cage match, whereas in 2010, Jack Swagger overcame a challenge from The Apex Predator in an Extreme Rules match.

#3 Kane - 4 losses

Another in-ring veteran to feature on this list is The Big Red Machine, Kane. He has been away from WWE for a while now, and the probability that he competes at Extreme Rules: The Horror Show is very low.

His last appearance at this event had come in 2018, where he teamed up with Daniel Bryan to challenge The Bludgeon Brothers for the tag titles of the Blue brand. Unfortunately, Team Hell No lost that bout.

Kane's losses at WWE Extreme Rules

Talking about Kane's other appearances that ended in a losing cause, he had lost to Randy Orton at this PPV in 2012. The two Superstars had competed in a grueling Falls Count Anywhere match that lasted for 16 minutes and 45 seconds.

Like 2018, Team Hell No had teamed up at this event in 2013, where they defended their titles against The Shield. Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins defeated them to seize the gold. One year later, Kane challenged his former tag team partner Daniel Bryan for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in an Extreme Rules match. Bryan retained his title using the Running Knee.

#2 Daniel Bryan - 4 losses

Daniel Bryan's return to in-ring competition has been one of the greatest comeback stories in pro wrestling history. The former WWE Champion fought for his dreams and finally overcame his medical issues to fight inside the squared circle again. Bryan is a natural babyface. Still, he performed the role of a heel to perfection last year. However, his fortunes at Extreme Rules has not been great.

Daniel Bryan's losses at WWE Extreme Rules

Daniel Bryan has competed in five matches at WWE Extreme Rules, and he has only won a single encounter. Last year, he had defended the SmackDown Tag Team Championships along with Rowan at the PPV. Heavy Machinery and The New Day tried to win the titles from them, and ultimately Big E and Xavier Woods won that match.

As discussed ahead, Bryan has teamed up with Kane twice at this event, with Team Hell No losing both the tag team title matches. His other defeat had come against Sheamus in 2012. The Celtic Warrior bettered his rival 2-1 in a Two-Out-Of-Three Falls Match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Currently, The Leader Of The Yes Movement is not booked to compete at Extreme Rules: The Horror Show.

#1 Big Show - 5 losses

The Big Show is one of the few pro wrestling veterans who have been with WWE for over 20 years. He had made his WWE debut in February 1999, and 21 years later, he is still a part of a high-profile feud on RAW. While The World's Largest Athlete has not been so dominant as he was before, he still is a marquee attraction in WWE. As mentioned ahead, the 48-year-old Superstar will probably battle Randy Orton at Extreme Rules: The Horror Show.

Big Show's losses at WWE Extreme Rules

The Big Show has not featured on the match card of this PPV since 2015. His last appearance came in a match against Roman Reigns, where The Big Dog subdued him in a great Last Man Standing match. Two years before that match, Big Show had lost an Extreme Rules match to The Viper.

His first two defeats at this pay-per-view had come in 2009 and 2010. John Cena conquered a challenge from him in a Submission Match at the inaugural edition of the PPV. The following year, The Hart Dynasty beat ShoMiz in a Gauntlet Match that also featured The World's Strongest Tag Team and the alliance of John Morrison and R-Truth.

Two years later, Cody Rhodes defeated him in a Tables Match for the Intercontinental Championship.

Given the current run Orton is having, it may not be a surprise if he adds another one to the losses column for The Big Show at Extreme Rules.
