WWE Extreme Rules 2022 Match Card: Full List Of Rules Of Fight Pit Match

On the recent Monday Night RAW episode, Matt Riddle challenged his longtime nemesis Seth Rollins to a Fight Pit match at WWE Extreme Rules 2022 while they were brawling backstage. This happened after they cost each other their respective matches earlier by interference.

Rollins was facing the United States Champion Bobby Lashley in a title match when Riddle came running towards the ring and distracted the Visionary, getting him speared for the pin. Rollins returned the favour by costing Riddle his tag match with Rey Mysterio against the Judgment Day. He too came running towards the ring, only to be chased away by Mysterio, who was then pinned by Finn Balor after a coup de grace.

During their backstage brawl, as they were being separated by officials, Rollins asked Riddle to name time and place for a match, to which Riddle replied by challenging him to a Fight Pit match at Extreme Rules, which Rollins accepted.

All you need to know about a Fight Pit Match in WWE

The Fight Pit is a one-of-a-kind structure introduced in NXT and has happened only twice till date. Both times on NXT but never on the main roster. The ring is surrounded by thick steel cage like walls and there’s a balcony like platform on top of the walls on which competitors can walk around on.

The rules are simple. You only win by getting a knockout or a submission, and not by a pin or count out and even Not by escaping the cage as is the common practice in cage matches. This makes it more of an MMA-themed bout than anything else.

Coincidentally, Matt Riddle was a part of the very first Fight Pit in NXT and it was his last match in the developmental brand as well. Therefore, he has the experience advantage over the Visionary. However, Rollins is a crafty veteran who doesn’t play fair and has always had the upper hand on Riddle in their months long feud. In the first fight pit Kurt Angle served as the guest referee. Wondering who that will be this time?
