5 Biggest Missed Opportunities From WWE The Horror Show At Extreme Rules

5. No Stipulation For The Women's Title Matches

Before jumping into this one, your writer just wants to make it clear that he doesn't think that the Raw and SmackDown Women's Championship matches needed any kind of stipulation.

Bayley vs. Nikki Cross was a solid title match while Asuka and Sasha Banks delivered the match of the night, and neither of the contests required any kind of gimmick to pull this off. And yet, it still felt like the Horror Show at Extreme Rules wasn't all that fair to the women when it came to choosing the stipulations.

Aside from the two 'horrifying' stipulations, the night was pretty light on extreme conditions. Sure, it also had a Table Match and a one-sided Extreme Rules affair, but it still didn't feel like we were watching Extreme Rules. And adding a stipulation to at least one of the Women's Championship matches could have made things feel a little more, well, extreme.

The women shined without gimmicks and that says a lot about the standard of wrestling they produced. It doesn't, however, make it any less unfair that they weren't gifted with one.
