WWE Extreme Rules 2019 Card: Every Match this Sunday

The final WWE pay-per-view before SummerSlam is Extreme Rules, a show that usually brings a mix of hardcore and non-traditional stipulations into its matches.

This Sunday, 10 confirmed matches are expected across the kickoff and main show. Four of these matches have special stipulations with all but one championship on the line. The landscape of the WWE could change dramatically after Sunday night.

Here's every match on the Extreme Rules 2019 card.

Undertaker and Shane have a history, and it's easy to see that McMahon is a bit worried. But can Drew carry them to victory?

BAYLEY (c) VS ALEXA BLISS AND NIKKI CROSS - 2 ON 1 HANDICAP MATCH FOR SMACKDOWN WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP

Bayley is convinced that Alexa Bliss is using Nikki Cross for her own gain, something Cross doesn't believe. Cross pinned Bayley to get Alexa another title shot, and even got to choose the stipulation.

To help Alexa, Nikki made Sunday's match a two-on-one handicap match so that she and Bliss can be co-champions. Nikki tells Bayley that the champion is just jealous because she doesn't have any friends, which could hint at a long-awaited superstar's return.
