Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a popular Wikipedia page every day.

Extreme Rules was a professional wrestling pay-per-view and WWE Network event produced by WWE for their Raw and SmackDown brand divisions. It took place on September 26, 2021, at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio. It was the 13th event under the Extreme Rules chronology and the first to be held in September. The event was originally scheduled to take place on July 18 at the SAP Center in San Jose, California, however, it was postponed and relocated due to issues stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. After the previous year's event was titled as The Horror Show at Extreme Rules, the PPV returned to its original name for 2021.
Seven matches were contested at the event, including one on the Kickoff pre-show. In the main event, Roman Reigns defeated "The Demon" Finn Bálor in an Extreme Rules match to retain the Universal Championship. In other prominent matches, The Usos (Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso) defeated The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) to retain the SmackDown Tag Team Championship, SmackDown Women's Champion Becky Lynch faced Bianca Belair, which ended in a no contest after Sasha Banks made her return and subsequently ambushed both competitors, and Damian Priest defeated Jeff Hardy and Sheamus in a triple threat match to retain the United States Championship.
