Description
Extreme Rules (2016) will take place on May 22, 2016, at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. It will be the eighth event under the Extreme Rules chronology.

Extreme Rules was originally scheduled for May 1, 2016, at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois, but then it switched dates and venues with Payback.

On the post-WrestleMania Raw on April 4, AJ Styles won a four-way match for a shot at the WWE World Heavyweight Championship held by Roman Reigns and retained his title opportunity by defeating Sami Zayn on the next Raw. On the April 25 episode of Raw, Styles saved Reigns from an attack by Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows; but Reigns then attacked Styles. At Payback, Styles faced Reigns for the world title. Reigns was first counted out and then disqualified but the match was restarted twice (first by Shane McMahon and then Stephanie McMahon) and turned into a no disqualification match. After interferences by both Anderson and Gallows and the Usos, Reigns eventually pinned Styles to retain the title. Subsequently, Vince, Shane and Stephanie McMahon agreed that Styles should get a title rematch at Extreme Rules in an Extreme Rules match. After Styles, Anderson and Gallows beat Reigns and the Usos on the May 2 episode of Raw, Anderson and Gallows wanted Styles to hit Reigns with a chair, but Styles refused, resulting in the Usos attacking Styles from behind with a chair, and Styles retaliating with the chair. Ultimately, Reigns powerbombed Styles through the broadcast table.

The tag team tournament to determine the #1 contender match for the WWE Tag Team Championship culminated at Payback in a match pitting The Vaudevillains against Enzo Amore and Colin Cassady, which ended in a no contest after Enzo Amore suffered a legit concussion. On the following night on Raw, The Vaudevillains were awarded a title match against WWE Tag Team Champions The New Day at Extreme Rules.

At Payback, WWE Women's Champion Charlotte defeated Natalya in controversial fashion; when Charlotte had her opponent in the Sharpshooter, referee Charles Robinson awarded the match to Charlotte despite Natalya not having submitted, similar to the Montreal Screwjob at Survivor Series 1997. On the following night on Raw, Charlotte was scheduled to defend the title against Natalya in a Submission match with Ric Flair banned from ringside, with the added stipulation that if Flair interfered on Charlotte's behalf, she would lose the title.

On the May 2 episode of Raw, Rusev won a battle royal to earn a title match against United States Champion Kalisto at Extreme Rules.

At WrestleMania 32, Kevin Owens lost the Intercontinental Championship to Zack Ryder in a seven man ladder match that also included Sami Zayn and The Miz. The next night on Raw, The Miz won the Intercontinental Championship after his wife Maryse distracted Ryder. On the April 11 episode of Raw, Owens interrupted Shane McMahon and demanded a title shot, but Shane instead booked him in a #1 contender match against Cesaro, which Cesaro won. At Payback, Owens defeated Zayn, and then stayed for commentary during the Intercontinental Championship match; Zayn attacked Owens and a fight broke between the two. While Owens and Zayn were fighting at the ropes, Cesaro tried to throw them, but Miz pinned him to retain the title. Then Owens, Miz, Cesaro and Zayn began a brawl with Owens standing tall at the end holding the championship. The next night on Raw, another #1 contender match between Owens and Cesaro occurred, but the match ended with no contest after Miz, who was on commentary, attacked Cesaro. Zayn then ran down to the ring and the fight ended with Zayn standing tall holding the championship. On the May 5 episode of SmackDown, Miz interrupted Zayn on The Highlight Reel and a match was booked later between the two, which Zayn won after Owens interfered. Cesaro ran down to the ring and a fight between the four ensued, which ended with Cesaro holding the championship. On the May 9 episode of Raw, Shane and Stephanie McMahon scheduled a triple threat title match at Extreme Rules between Owens, Miz and Cesaro. Zayn demanded to be inserted into the match as well, and defeated Miz later in the night to win contendership, thus turning the match into a fatal four way.

At Payback, Dean Ambrose defeated Chris Jericho. The next night on Raw, during a segment of The Ambrose Asylum with Stephanie McMahon, Stephanie cancelled Ambrose Asylum and reinstated Jericho's talk show, The Highlight Reel. Jericho came out and attacked Ambrose. The following week on Raw, Ambrose attacked Jericho and destroyed Jericho's jacket. On the May 12 episode of SmackDown, Jericho attacked Ambrose and put the straightjacket on Ambrose. On the May 16 episode of Raw, Ambrose challenged Jericho to a match at Extreme Rules, which Jericho accepted. Ambrose then revealed that their match would be a Asylum match, a steel cage match with weapons hanging above the cage.

Baron Corbin's first WWE singles match ended in a double countout against Dolph Ziggler. Ziggler then defeated Corbin on the Payback pre-show. On the May 9 episode of Raw, Corbin defeated Ziggler. The following week, a No Disqualification match between the two was scheduled for the Extreme Rules pre-show.

On the April 11 episode of Raw, Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows made their WWE debut and attacked The Usos. On the April 25 episode of Raw, Anderson and Gallows defeated The Usos. The following weeks after Payback, the two teams face each other in tag team matches with Reigns and Styles in the mix. On the May 19 episode of SmackDown, a Tornado tag team match was scheduled for the two teams at Extreme Rules.
