WWE Not-So Extreme Rules 2021 feat. A Lack of Extremeness
 

Show just started for anyone that cares.

Card for tonight's show:

Plus a 6-Man Tag that got added late to the show.

This seems like maybe the laziest / most filler PPV WWE has put on yet

Yeah, easily in the upper tier for recent years based on the build for it.

Like the completely forgot the whole purpose and selling point of Extreme Rules is to have a lot more brutal and/or hardcore style matches than usual.

For an opening match, this 6-Man Tag been way more sloppy than it should be considering the talent involved and way more RAW-like than PPV-like at the moment.

Uso's AR graphics for their entrance looks awful.

Sort of like Mandy Rose's old entrance smear setup but replace the smear visuals with fancy looking circles that spin as the Usos are walking down the ramp. Usos look like they are plowing into the circles but in an awful looking way.

having the gimmick exclusively in the main event is how it shouldve been for all these gimmick cards from the get go. 9 gimmick matches in a night is reckless with your talent and you hotshot the audience. everyone loses.


absolutely no benefit from having a card of hell in a cell or what have you. always been a terrible idea. hope this is a consistent change long term. they have got to temper expectations otherwise theyll be a disney version of czw.

Even this SD Tag title match is somewhat sloppy at the moment albeit mostly Angelo Dawkins fault.

Going to be a long night if this continues to be a trend for the whole show.

Ford's sunset splash from inside the corner to the Usos on the outside was awesome.

Latter half of the SD Tag team match was very good. They should have gone with this match instead of the 6-Man Tag to open the show.

Problem is WWE did a mostly awful job building up the only extreme match stip on the show and them waiting till near the last moment to announce it. The actual announcement wasn't even tied into what had happened on RAW last week and just thrown out for the sake of it.

:lol: at Charlotte loudly calling the finish to RAW Women's title match.

Bliss had some serious wedging going on right near the end of their match.

On one hand, the RAW Women's title match didn't completely suck but on the other hand, it wasn't that good either.

:| at the big "Thank You Lilly" chant for Bliss' destroyed doll.

And if things couldn't get even more weirder, Bliss is now actually foaming at the mouth over her sorrow.

Thank You Lilly chant :rofl:

:lol: at Heyman's over-the-top response to Kayla Braxton's backstage interview antics whenever those two are together.

Either someone in this US title match just ripped a fart or someone in production botched pipping in fake crowd noises.

:lol: at Sheamus mocking Hardy's dancing routine before hitting knee drop onto Priest.

Starting to think everyone didn't bother to practice or had very little practice time before the show started since the matches have been full of botches and sloppy action way more than usual for a WWE show.

US title match was very good and best thing on the show so far, especially the latter half of it.

WWE's desperate as hell to prevent any chance of AEW regaining the key demographic advantage over them during football season.

Just threw out a WWE title match for the start of RAW tomorrow.

WWE legit couldn't resist finding a way to mess up this amazing SD Women's title match.

Ends via DQ from a random Sasha Banks run-in attack.

:lol: at the crowd cheering Banks for attacking Bianca and Lynch.

When is the last time the Demon lost a match before tonight?

The AR visuals for Demon Balor's entrance is pretty cool even if its mostly a rehashed version of Lashley's one.

Samosa Joe NXT title

2016 at NXT TakeOver The End.

:lol: at Balor having Demon-based set of kendo sticks

Lmao at Reigns masking up

Oh wow at Reigns wearing a face mask because of him being in the crowd.

Maybe it wasn't a wise idea to book Reigns to have a brawl in the crowd considering his leukemia health issues puts him at a bigger risk for COVID than the typical person. Then again WWE Creative is full of morons after all.

Announcing Lesnar vs Reigns for Crown Jewel has sucked any interest I had in this match.

I couldn’t agree more. It was unnecessary.

:lol: at Balor nailing Reigns in the nuts

Damn, this match just got interesting.

lmao red mood lighting is back

Just put it on a few mins ago... Pat McAfee is v good...

damn... Demon stuff seems bad / very corny, especially since he's prob gonna lose after all these "bells and whistles"

WWE legit couldn't resist using spooky red mood lights for Demon Balor.

Also :lol: at how goofy that whole setup was.

What a fucking bullshit of a finish.

??

:lol: at the ring ropes randomly breaking.

Universal title match was very good but holy hell was that ending sequence goofy.

Back-to-back title matches ended via lame shenanigans.

what a fuckin' shit show

Fake crowd cheering on a championship match for tomorrow at the conclusion of the PPV

Demon Balor is pretty much dead in terms of special aura after that goofy ending WWE managed to come up with for the Universal title match.

Out of all the ways to book the Demon's first ever main roster loss, that was one of the worst and lamest ways to do it.

They massacred The Fiend and The Demon for Saudi Blood money.

Saw the ending on Twitter...weird

Meanwhile the only end that really matters...
