WWE Extreme Rules: Popular stipulation match returning for PPV

Seth Rollins will take on Matt Riddle in a Fight Pit match at WWE Extreme Rules next month.

At the end of a fantastic back-and-forth match, Riddle came out to distract Seth, allowing Lashley to hit a Spear and pick up the win.

In a wild brawl backstage later on in the show, Riddle challenged Seth to a Fight Pit match, something that fans have been wanting to see on WWE’s main roster since its creation in 2020.

The ropes and turnbuckles from a usual match will be replaced by a Steel Cage, making for a rather impressive UFC-style visual.

The eye-catching structure also features scaffolding, allowing the participants to climb to the top and wrestle up high, only adding to the sense of danger.

The first Fight Pit match took place on the May 27 episode of NXT, with Riddle being defeated by Timothy Thatcher.

The second Fight Pit match also featured Thatcher, with the now-former WWE Superstar defeating Tommaso Ciampa in January 2021.

Fight Pit arriving on the main roster is just the latest example of Triple H bringing things that worked in NXT to Raw and SmackDown now that he’s
