It's the one night a year when WWE gets extreme. How extreme? There are three (3) gimmick matches that should lead to a moderate amount of family-friendly mayhem.
The card is actually very stacked on paper and this could be a fun show if it isn't 9 hours long.
Copied from cagesideseats:
Undertaker & Roman Reigns vs. Shane McMahon & Drew McIntyre - No Holds Barred
Seth Rollins & Becky Lynch vs. Baron Corbin & Lacey Evans - Extreme Rules, winners take all
Kofi Kingston vs. Samoa Joe
Bayley vs. Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross
Daniel Bryan & Rowan vs. Heavy Machinery vs. The New Day
The Revival vs. The Usos
Ricochet vs. AJ Styles
Braun Strowman vs. Bobby Lashley - Last Man Standing
Aleister Black vs. Cesaro
Drew Gulak vs. Tony Nese
There is also Balor vs. Nakamura and Owens vs. Ziggler on the pre-show if this isn't enough for you.

There's actually quite a bit I'm interested in here.
Kofi/Joe (possible Brock cash-in?)
Women's title (Sasha return?)
Richochet/AJ will be good.
Stroman/Lashley has the potential to be a giant car crash.
Black/Cesaro has potential to be one of the better matches tonight.
Corbin and Evans winning would be hilarious. It would shock me more than Brock beating The Undertaker. Vince is a depraved man who enjoys tormenting the fans, so you know he's at least considering it.
I think people are actually sleeping on that match a bit, just because it's extreme rules so it'll have a bunch of fun weapons spots and won't take itself too seriously.
That wasn't bad, for what it was. If the rumor has been Drew vs. Taker for SummerSlam though, I don't get how that set it up. Felt very much like a blowoff.
I liked that match. Undertaker is the one guy who should be allowed to no-sell finishers like that. He also looked surprisingly good -- working in short spurts does a lot for him at this stage.
I also maintain that Shane is a good heel. The crowd wanted to see him get his ass beat and we even had "let's go Roman" chants in Philly.
Rico's got some crazy moves, thats for sure. The bo jackson run up was amazing. The crowd doesn't seem into this because AJ is over and they are trying this heel turn bs.
