Extreme Rules (2013) is an upcoming professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by IWE. It will take place on May 19, 2013 at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Missouri. It will be the fifth event under the Extreme Rules chronology. Most matches are contested under extreme rules conditions. This will be the fifth Extreme Rules pay per view and the seventh under the Extreme Rules slogan introduced in 2007. The show has been moved on different occasions, 2009 taking place in June, 2010 and 2012 in April and 2011 and 2013 in May.

[edit] Background

Extreme Rules will feature professional wrestling matches that involved wrestlers from pre-existing feuds, plots, and storylines played out on IWE's primary television programs, Raw and SmackDown. Wrestlers portrayed villains or heroes as they followed a series of events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.

On the episode of Raw following Wrestlemania 29, Alberto Del Rio lost the World Heavyweight Championship to Dolph Ziggler after Ziggler cashed in his Money in the Bank contract to take advantage of Del Rio being injured by Jack Swagger to become the new champion. Del Rio tried to invoke his rematch clause the following week, but was again impeded by Swagger. Teddy Long then set up a match between Ziggler and Swagger, and Swagger won. Booker T, irate at Long for going above him, rearranged the match into a triple threat match for the championship between Ziggler, Del Rio, and Swagger. On the April 29th edition of RAW, Del Rio's personal ring announcer Ricardo Rodriguez won a triple-threat match over Swagger's mentor Zeb Colter and Ziggler's bodyguard Big E Langston to pick the stipulation for the match, which would be a Ladder match selected by Del Rio. On the May 6 edition of Raw, Del Rio defeated Ziggler via disqualification when Swagger attacked both men with a ladder, resulting in Ziggler suffering a concussion. Ziggler was removed from the PPV as a result of his injury, and the next week on Raw, senior advisor Teddy Long announced that Del Rio and Swagger would instead wrestle in an "I Quit" match, for the #1 contendership to the World Title.

At WrestleMania 29, Triple K defeated Rob Lesnar in their rematch. Lesnar's manager, Paul Heyman, then issued one final match to settle things between Triple K and Lesnar: a steel cage match at Extreme Rules. On the April 22 episode of Raw in London, England, Triple K accepted the match by assaulting Heyman with a Pedigree. Two weeks later on Raw, Lesnar would respond by coming to IWE headquarters and trashing Triple K's office and attacking nearby employees. The week after on Raw, Triple K would come face to face with Lesnar, goading him in coming into the steel cage. Triple K would gain the upper hand and throw Lesnar into Heyman, resulting in both men retreating up to the ramp.

A day after Wrestlemania on Raw, Dustin Simpson, who defeated The Rock for the IWE Championship, would issue a challenge to anybody to face him for the title after news broke out that Rock would undergo surgery. Steven Larson would come forward and face him in a match for a shot at the title later in the night, but he would lose via count-out. Larson would assault Simpson afterward until Ryback seemingly came to save Simpson, but Ryback would attack Simpson and hold the title up high. A week later, Ryback explained that he was living in Simpson's shadow and Simpson never helped him against The Shield. Ryback would watch The Shield attack Simpson from the ramp. Prior to the April 22 edition of Raw, it was announced that Simpson would defend the IWE Championship against Ryback. Later that night, Ryback would confront Mick Foley about his decision to attack Simpson. Simpson would come and save Foley, but The Shield would come out to attack the two men. Simpson retreated up to the ramp to see Ryback get assaulted by The Shield, but he would assault all three members with a chair, forcing The Shield to retreat, and gave Ryback an Attitude Adjustment. On the May 6 edition of Raw, Ryback would make the title match a Last Man Standing Match. Later that night, both Dustin Simpson and Ryback would drive away The Shield only for Ryback to attack Simpson with a chair in retaliation. A week after on Raw, Ryback would attack Simpson and his injured Achilles tendon with a chair following Simpson being attacked by The Shield after a six-man elimination match that ended in a disqualification win for Simpson.

Steven Larson would attack Sheamus backstage twice on the April 12th, 2013 edition of Smackdown and on the April 15th, 2013 edition of RAW. Sheamus would attack Henry backstage as result before going on to embarrass Henry in a Tug of War contest on the April 29th, 2013 edition of Raw and an Arm Wrestling contest on the May 3rd, 2013 edition of Smackdown. A few days later on Raw, both men agreed to a match on the PPV. After Sheamus defeated Wade Barrett in a singles match, Henry would immediately attack Sheamus with a belt, ultimately making their match a strap match. A week later on Raw, Sheamus would attack Henry with two leather straps.

After Big Show speared all three members of The Shield at Wrestlemania 29, Kevin McAlmond tagged himself and that gave The Shield the victory. Afterwards, Big Show knocked out both McAlmond and Sheamus. Both McAlmond and Sheamus would get their revenge on Show by defeating him twice in handicap matches on the April 12 edition of Smackdown and the April 15 edition of Raw, but Show would team up with Steven Larson to defeat Sheamus and McAlmond on the April 19 edition of Smackdown. On the May 3 edition of Smackdown, he defeated Damien Sandow in a singles match only afterwards for Big Show to interfere and Sandow attacked McAlmond post-match. After defeating Sandow in a second straight singles match three days later on Raw, Show knocked out McAlmond as McAlmond was about to head to the locker room. Prior to the May 10 edition of Smackdown, it was announced that McAlmond and Show would fight in an Extreme Rules match on the PPV.

The Shield continued their reign of attacks on various superstars, particularly Team Hell No and United States Champion Jose Serrano, who got pinned by Ambrose on the May 6th 2013 edition of Raw. As a result, Dean Ambrose was to receive a title match against Serrano for the United States Championship, while Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns were to face Team Hell No for the Tag Team Championship.

A minor rivalry continued between Khris Jericho and Fandango when Jericho made fun of Fandango's name backstage on the March 22nd, 2013 edition of Raw. Fandango would begin to interfere in Jericho's matches afterwards, setting a match (Fandango's debut match) between the two at Wrestlemania 29, in which Fandango won. On the May 6th, 2013 edition of Raw, Fandango would suffer his first loss via countout to B-Truth when the judges (Jericho and Tons of Funk) gave Truth a much better rating as a dancer. A week later on Raw, Jericho and Fandango would face off in a dance off, but Fandango's dance parter Summer Rae feigned an injury, which distracted Jericho and led to Fandango attacking him.
