Professional wrestling fans are used to wacky tricks like “Dog Collar match” or “casket match”, but a hack for Sunday’s WWE pay-per-view event, “Extreme Rules: Horror Show” was one of the books. : “Eye for a match of the eyes”.
The match, which pitted Rey Mysterio against Seth Rollins, was deemed to have ended only when one competitor successfully pulled out the other competitor’s eye. And since a combination of tricks is generally used to increase interest in a PPV, it worked, as many fans were wondering how they were going to do it successfully. We will soon see if it caused more people to ask for the WWE network and watch the game, which is the ultimate goal.
On Sunday, Rollins defeated Mysterio when he used the corner of the ring steps to pull Mysterio’s right eye out of his socket. Now, relax Mysterio fans. They showed only a brief glimpse of the eye, which didn’t seem too real, and then they cut Rollins a few yards away, vomiting.
The result was expected as Mysterio had been working the past few weeks without a contract.
The game before the end was good, even though all the places where one man tried to take out the eye of the other became a bit boring. Well, as boring as it can be to watch one man try to blind another.

Sasha Banks apparently defeated Asuka to win the Raw female title. The end came when the referee was taken out of service when Asuka accidentally threw green mist on his face. Bayley, at ringside to support Banks, threw the title at Banks, who hit Asuka and covered her by the pin. Without reference, Bayley grabbed a referee’s shirt, put it on, and counted the fall. The banks celebrated, but hope that this decision will be reversed on Monday at “Monday Night Raw.”
WWE champion Drew McIntyre defeated Dolph Ziggler with the Claymore kick.
Bray Wyatt defeated universal champion Braun Strowman. At least I think he won. This was one of those movie matches that WWE has become famous for since the close of the pandemic began. This match defied description, but was entertaining. Strowman had apparently drowned Wyatt in a swamp, but suddenly Wyatt came out of the water, caught on a jaw claw, and dragged Strowman deeper into the swim. They both submerged and the water turned red. Then The Fiend jumped up and laughed. Show more than
