The Big Show and Reigns have been feuding ever since before WrestleMania, and it escalated on this week's Monday Night RAW from London when the giant chokeslammed the leader of the Roman Empire through a car that was part of the set on the stage.
It is expected that the two will engage in a match at Extreme Rules and due to the nature of the event, a stipulation is likely to be added. After Show knocked Reigns out, it is believed that the stipulation will be a Last Man Standing match.
It is likely that the WWE will announce the bout on SmackDown when the company returns to the O2 Arena for the tapings on Tuesday or next week on RAW when the WWE gets back to the United States and emanates the flagship show from Albany, N.Y. with just six days until Extreme Rules.
The April 26 event is headlined by a Steel Cage match pitting WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins against Randy Orton. "The Viper" can't use the RKO during the contest as per "The Architect's" added stipulation.
The WWE also revealed that the United States Championship bout between title-holder John Cena and Rusev -- their third encounter in as many months -- will be a Russian Chain match after the Bulgarian Brute took out the "Cenation" leader with a chain on RAW.
WWE.com posted an article regarding the match, revealing a little bit more about the stipulation.
"Adding insult to injury, Lana then revealed that she had successfully negotiated the new terms of the previously announced match, which will see Rusev and Cena tethered at the wrist by a length of heavy-duty chain," the company wrote. "Living up to Extreme Rules' reputation, both Superstars will be allowed to use the chain at their discretion, whether using it as a whip or to add weight to a punch, as Rusev demonstrated on Raw."
Two other title matches have been announced for the card as Daniel Bryan will defend the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Bad News Barrett while Divas Champion Nikki Bella will put her gold on the line against Paige, who won a battle royal in her native England to earn the shot.
A match that has been rumored, but not confirmed for the show is between Dolph Ziggler and Sheamus. "The Celtic Warrior" took out "The Showoff" on Monday to further their feud.
