I’m so confused right now.
I was reading through some match previews on WWE’s web site and came across this:

Extreme Rules: The Horror Show?
Huh?
Clicking into the article indicates that this is indeed Vince McMahon’s latest brilliant idea for selling a pay-per-view:
“Will Banks become a double champion, or will Asuka continue to reign supreme on the red brand? Find out at WWE Extreme Rules: The Horror Show, streaming Sunday, July 19, at 7 ET/4 PT on the award-winning WWE Network!”
The same awkward tagline is included in their post for Drew McIntyre vs. Dolph Ziggler.
Please give me a few minutes while I try to contain my laughter and compose myself.
Now here are a few of my instant thoughts about this concept:
- “Horror Show” is a very appropriate name considering the possible COVID-19 outbreak going on in WWE right now.
- Braun Strowman is definitely tipping over a House of Horrors against Bray Wyatt on this card, right?
- Brace yourselves, because Michael Cole is now going to exclaim “The Horror Show!” a billion times over the next three weeks.
Cagesiders, can you please explain to me what the hell this is?
