This Sunday's Extreme Rules PPV main event is something WWE bills as the only night of the year where things go extreme. It's their way of saying that pretty much every match has a stipulation, but it's not like it is the only PPV like that. The last TLC PPV had a lot of stipulations too. That's just typical WWE where they like to forget things. As diehard wrestling fans, we don't like to forget things. We want to do things and watch things to remind us of why we are watching in the first place. That's why whenever there's a PPV event it's fun to take a look back at some matches from the past that are good to check out (on WWE Network, of course) as a way to preview the matches that we're going to see on Sunday. This selection of ten matches ranges from matches that took place as recent as two years ago and also a match from 1991 that has the same stipulation as John Cena's match with Rusev. The PPV is also taking place in Chicago, which is arguably the best city that WWE regularly visits in terms of crowd noise and unique chants. Due to that reason it's important to include some famous Chicago matches as well just to get us ready for what might happen at Extreme Rules this year. Here's a look at ten matches in no particular order that you can watch to get you prepared for WWE Extreme Rules this Sunday night.
