Extreme Rules 2015 gets two marquee matchups

Following this Thursday nights episode of Smackdown, it’s been confirmed that WWE is going with Seth Rollins versus Randy Orton for its Extreme Rules main event and John Cena versus Rusev for their co-main.

At WrestleMania 31, Orton was able to defeat Rollins on the strength of his greatest RKO of all-time.

With Rollins successfully cashing in his MITB contract to close out the show and take the WWE World Heavyweight strap off Brock Lesnar, Orton’s victory earlier on in the night easily makes him more than worthy of his number #1 contendership.

After defeating Sheamus for the U.S. title exclusively on the WWE Network back on November 3rd, Rusev continued his streak of never losing by a submission or pinfall until being bested by John Cena at WrestleMania 31. At Extreme Rules, the two will engage in a rubber match for the United States title currently held by Cena.
