Whether you've been part of the festivities in Chicago or celebrating in your own hometown, today is the last day you'll be able to capture Lugia in raid battles during Pokemon Go Fest. But the fun will continue on July 21, which is Zapdos day.
Lugia made an exclusive return for this weekend's festivities, and each region of the world will have to complete Professor Willow's challenges for special rewards rolling out tomorrow, starting with candy bonuses for catching Pokemon and participating in raid battles. There might also be a reward that will make the walking distance for eggs shorter.
If every challenge is completed, Zapdos day will be even brighter. On July 21, every player that spins a photo disc at a gym will get five free raid passes to participate in the three-hour long raid battle window for Zapdos. There will be chances to catch a shiny Zapdos and all of them will know the fast attack thundershock.
Get ready to break out your Steve Blackman signed escrima sticks, your used kendo sticks, and unbreakable tables, as WWE's most insane PPV of the year, Extreme Rules, comes to the WWE Network today. During this event, many matches have rules that are... well... extreme. From table matches to steal cages to matches with weapons are allowed to be used, Extreme Rules tends to be one brutal event, but not like ECW in its heyday extreme. That's a bit too much. However, if the rumors around the main event are true, this PPV will be ending with a regular one-on-one match, with Bobby Lashley fighting Roman Reigns.
Extreme Rules will take place at the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and those going to the event or watching from the comfort of their homes will be in store for a night of hard hits and unconventional items being used as weapons. For those not attending the live event, Extreme Rules begins at 7 PM ET/4 PM PT with a Kickoff Show starting one hour prior. Normally, one match takes place during the Kickoff, but as of this writing, there are actually two.
For the first time in a while, there's actually a few fun tag team matches happening at a major WWE event. Daniel Bryan and Kane reunited recently on Smackdown, and now, they have a chance to win the Smackdown Tag Championships from The Bludgeon Brothers. Additionally, it's brother (Bray Wyatt) against brother (Bo Dallas) as the champions The Deleters of Worlds take on The B Team (The "B" stands for "Best") for the Raw Tag Championships. There are seven championships on the line that evening, and the only major title that won't be defended is the Universal Championship--because Brock Lesnar never defends it. At the time of this writing, there are twelve matches on the card. More than likely, this is in the finalized card.
Strangely enough, as of this writing, there is only one Extreme Rules match for the PPV, and that's for the Raw Women's Championship. As of this writing, a Tables Match has been added, but there are no more Extreme Rules matches.
Extreme Rules Match Card:
Sin Cara vs. Andrade "Cien" Almas (KICKOFF SHOW)
The New Day vs. SAnitY (Tables Match on KICKOFF SHOW)
Braun Strowman vs Kevin Owens (Steel Cage Match)
Roman Reigns vs. Bobby Lashley
Finn Bálor vs. "Constable" Baron Corbin
Dolph Ziggler (c) vs. Seth Rollins (30-Minute Iron Man match for the Intercontinental Championship)
The Bludgeon Brothers (c) vs. Team Hell No (For the Smackdown Tag Championship)
Deleters of Worlds (c) vs. The B-Team (For the Raw Tag Championship)
Carmella (c) vs. Asuka (For the Smackdown Women's Championship with James Ellsworth suspended above the ring in a Shark Cage))
Alexa Bliss (c) vs. Nia Jax (Extreme Rules match for the Raw Women's Championship)
Jeff Hardy (c) vs Shinsuke Nakamura (For the United States Championship)
AJ Styles (c) vs. Rusev (For the WWE Championship)

If you're looking for rumors which may actually end up spoiling Extreme Rules, then you've come to the right place. Wrestling fans love to talk and speculate about what's coming up for the next big event, since WWE loves to throw in some surprises here and there. WWE's Extreme Rules PPV is right around the corner, coming to the WWE Network on Sunday, July 15. The over-the-top event will consist of 12 matches all under the roof of the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, PA.
All but one of the main WWE championships will be on the line, as Brock Lesnar and the Universal Championship will not be in attendance. However, there are plenty of matches to get excited about at Extreme Rules, when it kicks off at 7 PM ET / 4 PM PT. And between now and the actual event, we'll keep you up-to-date on all the latest rumors surrounding the stars of WWE and what insiders are saying about the PPV.
It should be noted that everything below are simply rumors. There is no confirmation that these moments will happen; however, they are taken from credible insiders with a pretty good track record. If you don't want Extreme Rules potentially spoiled for you, stop reading. It's all fun and games until someone pokes an eye out… with a steel chair.
Rumors:
Extreme Rules has a plethora of great matches, but none of them really have that "main event" status. At best, Seth Rollins vs. Dolph Ziggler could fit that spot. However, according to wrestling insider and journalist Dave Meltzer (via Bleacher Report), the main event will probably be Roman Reigns vs. Bobby Lashley, a match I assumed was going to be smackdab in the middle of the card.
At UFC 226 on Saturday, July 7, Brock Lesnar stepped into the octagon amidst a challenge from newly crowned heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier in what can only be described as the most WWE segment ever in UFC. According to Cageside Seats, there's talk the two will fight this November at Madison Square Garden. However, UFC chief Dana White revealed that Lesnar cannot fight for the promotion until January 2019, as he is still suspended (via Bleacher Report). Don't expect Lesnar to show up at Extreme Rules though. He'll most likely be saved for Summerslam.
There are plenty of rumors that The Miz will not be in attendance--because he'll be filming a MLB Celebrity All Star Softball Game. However, according to Cageside Seats, Miz will be involved with the Smackdown Tag Team Championship match, to start a feud with Daniel Bryan. Because it's unknown whether or not Bryan will resign his contract after Summerslam, WWE wants to have the two's rivalry come to a head at the end of the August PPV. If Bryan resigns, the rivalry will go longer.
Some people are saying Hulk Hogan will be appearing at Extreme Rules in Pittsburgh. What's the basis for this? Someone saw him on a flight... to Cleveland? Reported on by StillRealToUs, it may seem crazy, but the distance between the two cities is a little more than two hours. There have been talks between Hogan and the WWE in the past year, and there was another rumor Hogan was going to be at Greatest Royal Rumble. He wasn't, but many are speculating Hulkamania will return to WWE in the near future. Could it be at Extreme Rules?
Our extra predictions:
There will be a quick match during the Kickoff Show. It will most likely be No Way Jose vs. Mojo Rawley, which is one of the newer midcard feuds on Raw. There are already 10 matches on the card, and the IC Championship will last no fewer than 30 minutes. It's a stacked card, so the Kickoff Show needs something short and sweet.
UPDATE: Sanity vs. New Day in a Tables Match was added to the Kickoff, which is a whole lot better than Mojo vs. Jose.
How will Ronda Rousey be utilized during Extreme Rules? If you're caught up with Raw, then you know Rousey is "suspended" from working for WWE by General Manager Kurt Angle. However, she will be at Extreme Rules, as an audience member. Obviously, she has a vested interest in Nia Jax taking on Alexa Bliss for the Raw Women's Championship. While she wants the title, chances are she'll take both women out and take on both of them at Summerslam in a triple threat match.
Make sure to head back to GameSpot on Sunday, July 15 for live coverage of the event, as well as a few other surprises. Additionally, if you want to learn more about Extreme Rules, check out the match card and our full predictions for every match.
