(Thanks to Fetch Publicity for arranging this review.)

A lot can happen in two months. Since Extreme Rules took place, we've had the comebacks from injury for Seth Rollins, John Cena and Bray Wyatt (Rollins returned at the very end of Extreme Rules admittedly) and Randy Orton's return has been announced; Roman Reigns has been suspended; and Brock Lesnar returned to UFC with a victory over Mark Hunt at UFC 200, and had a SummerSlam showdown with Orton announced, only for that match to be called into question given the news that Lesnar failed a drug test prior to the UFC fight. Oh, and WWE has just been split into two via the latest Draft, which will mark a new era for WWE.

Ironically, the term "New Era" was being pushed heavily on WWE television prior to Extreme Rules given the spotlight on NXT stars and other faces who were fresh to WWE, or performers who were being given another chance to succeed. Despite the injuries still plaguing WWE at that point, the product still had some momentum heading into Extreme Rules - the one night of the year when WWE goes "extreme" - and watching it again on DVD, the show is a good portrayal of how the emphasis on high-quality wrestling action had made WWE a more interesting place than it had been in the dark days of late 2015.

The New Era takes competition to the extreme at Extreme Rules! In a rematch from their epic encounter at Payback, WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns puts the richest prize in sports-entertainment on the line against “The Phenomenal One” AJ Styles in an Extreme Rules Match! The family feud between the Flairs and the Harts writes another chapter as Natalya challenges for the WWE Women’s Championship against Charlotte in a Submission Match. And for the first time ever in WWE history, Chris Jericho and Dean Ambrose face each other in a match more twisted than “The Lunatic Fringe” himself… an Asylum Match!

Extreme Rules 2016, the one night of the year that WWE goes extreme! Well, less so in this modern PG era, although there were signs of some slightly risky content creeping in, particularly with some unexpected spots in the Asylum match. And who conjured up the idea of a PPV commercial which showed two ladybugs shagging?

On a serious note, many were looking forward to this card due to the general positive vibes of recent WWE developments, and the mostly entertaining Payback show a few weeks back. In particular, most were excited about what would happen in the big Roman Reigns vs. AJ Styles, and how its outcome could perhaps shape the summer season in WWE. If nothing else, chances were that we were in for another great main event after their very enjoyable headline effort at Payback.
