Intercontinental Champion Big Show and his Extreme Rules challenger, Cody Rhodes, will find out the stipulation for their title bout rematch the same time that the WWE Universe will – during the free Extreme Rules Pre-Show event, which streams live on WWE.com, YouTube.com/WWE and Facebook.com/WWE com, immediately preceding the pay-per-view Sunday. ( MATCH PREVIEW | PRE-SHOW INFO)
In a directive handed down by Raw and SmackDown General Manager John Laurinaitis, the championship contest’s stipulation will be determined by a spin of the wheel during the pre-show.
Laurinaitis’ office said the initiative is “in the spirit” of the General Manager’s “People Power” campaign. According to Laurinaitis’ representatives, the wheel will contain a variety of stipulation matches.
The Extreme Rules Pre-Show will stream live Sunday, starting at 7:30 p.m. ET/4:30 p.m. PT. With their stipulation up in the air until possibly minutes before their match, Big Show and Rhodes will have precious little time to prepare for whatever comes their way.
