#2 Matches could be on the longer side
WWE has had to adjust to COVID-19 in a number of ways, including holding shows at the Performance Center as well as having to run shows behind closed doors. Another recent change they have made is having longer matches on their shows and we could see that at Extreme Rules.
According to Sportskeeda's Tom Colohue, the reason behind this is that they have fewer Superstars available right now because of the ongoing circumstances. On a recent episode of Dropkick DiSKussions, Tom said that we could expect to see longer matches at the Extreme Rules PPV as well:

There has been a mandate from the WWE management recently to have longer matches. A large part of this is down to the fact that they don't have as many people as they normally would, so they have to stretch things out a little bit. It worked out, I think about a week and a half ago on SmackDown, where they just hit all the different divisions, one match for each one and it really helped keep things hyped up, but obviously, they have lost a few more people since then. RAW this week was very much built around that as well. So for Extreme Rules, the same rule applies.
