WWE
Between the All Out pay-per-view and Wednesday’s Grand Slam Dynamite, AEW has been on a huge roll. How will WWE respond? We’ll find out this Sunday at the Extreme Rules pay-per-view, which streams on NBC’s Peacock. Notably, new WWE Champion Big E is not currently scheduled to wrestle at the show, but that’s always subject to change.
The main event of the show is an Extreme Rules match between Universal Champion Roman Reigns and “The Demon” Finn Balor. If Reigns prevails it’d mark Balor’s first loss under his Demon alter ego. Bianca Belair will also get her rematch for the SmackDown Women’s Championship against Becky Lynch after the SummerSlam upset.
How to watch: Peacock, WWE Network
As you probably know by now, Peacock is the new home of WWE’s pay-per-views. The WWE Network has in essence migrated to NBC’s Peacock streaming service, and that’s where you’ll go to watch Extreme Rules 2021. Peacock has three tiers: Free, Premium and Premium Plus. To watch WWE content, you’ll need a Premium subscription. The good news is that’ll set you back $5 a month, less than the $10 for WWE Network.
If you’re outside of the US, you’ll watch Extreme Rules 2021 on the WWE Network as usual.
