At least one more match is official for Extreme Rules. After losing to Judgment Day in a tag match -- in part because of interference by Seth Rollins -- Riddle and Rollins got into it backstage. Out of their melee came a challenge and a match. The two men will do battle in a Fight Pit.
Rollins was tired of having Riddle go after him so he yelled, "You name the time, you name the place, I'll wreck you pal!" Riddle yelled back "Extreme Rules, Fight Pit!" Rollins responded, "You're on!" and said he was going to wreck Riddle in his own backyard.
For fans that aren't familiar with what a Fight Pit Match is, this was made popular in NXT. Riddle was a part of some of these matches in the past and it's essentially a cage match with some slight differences. Unlike the traditional wrestling cage match, there were no doors and you don't exit to win. There is a cage surrounding the ring, but that cage is on raised platforms, and the only ways to win were submission or knockout. It's about as close to an MMA octagon as WWE has.
The idea here is that this will be the final match between these two and it will end the saga and rivalry once and for all. Riddle has a clear advantage considering his mixed martial arts background, but Rollins will almost definitely have something up his sleeve as a way to combat being the underdog here.
