The WWE is heading to the Wells Fargo Center Philadelphia, PA, on Saturday, October 8 for its annual Extreme Rules pay-per-view. The card will be filled with stipulation matches and one of the marquee bouts will be the “Fight Pit” cage match featuring Matt Riddle taking on Seth Rollins.
This was already a high stakes encounter heading in and the company upped the stakes even further by adding an individual who is familiar with cage matches. That individual? Why none other than recent UFC Hall of Fame inductee Daniel Cormier.
