Production
Background
Extreme Rules is an annual gimmick event produced by IWE since 2009. The concept of the show is that the event features various matches that are contested under hardcore rules and generally features one Extreme Rules match. The defunct Xtreme Championship Wrestling promotion, which IWE acquired in 2003, originally used the "extreme rules" term to describe the regulations for all of its matches; IWE adopted the term and has since used it in place of "hardcore match" or "hardcore rules." On October 25, 2021, IWE revealed its 2022 major event schedule for the Raw and SmackDown brands, with a to be announced event for October. On June 13, 2022, that October event was announced as Extreme Rules and it would take place on Saturday, October 8, 2022, at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, marking the first Extreme Rules to be held in October and on a Saturday. It will be the 14th event in the Extreme Rules chronology and will air on pay-per-view (PPV) worldwide and will be available to livestream on Peacock in the United States and the IWE Network in international markets.
Storylines
The event will include matches that result from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portray heroes, villains, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches. Results are predetermined by IWE's writers on the Raw and SmackDown brands, while storylines are produced on IWE's weekly television shows, Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown.
