10 Quick Fixes That Would Have Improved WWE Extreme Rules 2016

9. No Non-Extreme Rules Matches

Considering that the PPV is called Extreme Rules and all, it seems rather silly that the U.S. and Tag Title matches were just standard contests, and even the Tornado Tag and Fatal 4-Way matches could hardly be called "extreme" match types.

This left the No DQ, Asylum, Submission and Extreme Rules matches, so half the entire card was left being not very extreme at all. Wouldn't it make more sense for every match to have a legitimate stipulation, like a tables match, a ladder match, or hell, even a chair match if you get really desperate?

Yes, it's the PG era so this event is never going to reach its full potential, but it seems silly to tout the event as being hardcore when so many matches just aren't at all. Otherwise, why even bother with a branded PPV like this?
