Following on from WWE's SummerSlam pay-per-view event, we will likely see some rematches contested under some form of extreme ruling. There can be many WWE gimmick matches, from a Steel Cage match to a Ladder match.

Last year's WWE Extreme Rules pay-per-view event was dubbed "The Horror Show at Extreme Rules." It went live from a closed set at the WWE Performance Center due to COVID-19 global pandemic.

The event will be remembered for the "Eye for an Eye" match that took place between Rey Mysterio and Seth Rollins. The rules of the match were simple. The first person to extract an eye from their opponents head would be the winner. Brutal, right? There was also another cinematic match showcased between Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman in a Wyatt Swamp Fight.

Seth Rollins spoke to TalkSport following the event about the "Eye for an Eye" match:

"Obviously it’s a match that has never been done before. I think people maybe tuned in out of morbid curiosity to see what would happen. I certainly did not expect to be in that match at any point leading up to it. When the stipulation was given to me, I was definitely caught off guard and didn’t even really know how to prepare for it." Seth Rollins said. (h/t TalkSport)

Here are the results from "The Horror Show at Extreme Rules" from 2020:
