Extreme Rules is shaping up to be quite a show

#1. First Ironman Match at Extreme Rules

Rollins and Ziggler will put on a masterclass at Extreme Rules

Seth Rollins competes in his first Ironman match in WWE as he takes on Dolph Ziggler next weekend in the hopes that he can reclaim his Intercontinental Championship. Ziggler has been part of WWE for more than a decade, so it is thought that his experience would be his biggest asset but Ziggler hasn't been in an Ironman match before either.

There have been a number of interesting match stipulations at Extreme Rules over the past few years, but there has never been an Ironman match, actually, the last singles Ironman match that took place in WWE was between Sasha Banks and Charlotte at Roadblock: End of the Line back in 2016. Ironman matches are not usually WWE's first choice of gimmick, but Rollins and Ziggler both have the ability to steal the show with this one.
