Show-Rhodes match stipulation to be decided by Pre-Show wheel spin

Intercontinental Champion Big Show and his Extreme Rules challenger, Cody Rhodes, will find out the stipulation for their title bout rematch the same time that the WWE Universe will – during the free Extreme Rules Pre-Show event, which streams live on WWE.com, YouTube.com/WWE and Facebook.com/WWE com, immediately preceding the pay-per-view Sunday.

In a directive handed down by Raw and SmackDown General Manager John Laurinaitis, the championship contest’s stipulation will be determined by a spin of the wheel during the pre-show.

Laurinaitis’ office said the initiative is “in the spirit” of the General Manager’s “People Power” campaign. According to Laurinaitis’ representatives, the wheel will contain a variety of stipulation matches.

The Extreme Rules Pre-Show will stream live Sunday, starting at 7:30 p.m. ET/4:30 p.m. PT. With their stipulation up in the air until possibly minutes before their match, Big Show and Rhodes will have precious little time to prepare for whatever comes their way.
