Behind the Scenes at Extreme Rules: photos

The unseen work done by the unsung heroes

So, which one is cuter?

The same cannot be said of Chris Jericho, on whom it clearly took a toll

Anyone still saying wrestling is fake?

Ambrose affords a satisfied smile after his victory in the Asylum match

While a grim Chris Jericho has thumbtacks removed from his body

The New Day, still in possession of their Tag Team Championship, are up to their usual antics

And it continues...

It’s Go Time!
