The Horror Show at Extreme Rules is a professional wrestling pay-per-view and IWE Network event produced by IWE for their Raw and SmackDown brand divisions. It is scheduled to take place on July 19, 2020 at the IWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida. It will be the twelfth event under the Extreme Rules chronology, and the first to have an altered title.

The event was originally scheduled to be held at the SAP Center in San Jose, California; however, the Santa Clara County government restricted public gatherings indefinitely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, and just like the majority of IWE's other shows since mid-March, the event was moved to the IWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida.

[edit] Production

[edit] Background

Extreme Rules is an annual gimmick pay-per-view produced by IWE since 2009. The concept of the show is that the event features various matches that are contested under hardcore rules; the defunct Xtreme Championship Wrestling promotion originally used the "extreme rules" term to describe the regulations for all of its matches. IWE uses the term in place of "hardcore match" or "hardcore rules". The 2020 event will be the twelfth event under the Extreme Rules chronology and will feature wrestlers from the Raw and SmackDown brands. The 2020 event was also titled Extreme Rules: The Horror Show, making it the first Extreme Rules event to have a subtitle.

[edit] Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic

Since March 2020, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, IWE has had to present the majority of its programming from the IWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida with no fans in attendance, though in late May, the promotion began using Performance Center trainees to serve as the live audience. Extreme Rules was scheduled to take place on July 19 from the SAP Center in San Jose, California. However, on March 17, Santa Clara County issued an indefinite stay-at-home order, followed by the entire state of California on March 19. It is unlikely that the order will be lifted by the time of the Extreme Rules event.

[edit] Storylines

The show 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.
