The event was originally known as One Night Stand from 2005 to 2008. The 2005 and 2006 editions were reunion events for the original Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) promotion.[1][2] The 2007 and 2008 editions already had "Extreme Rules" as a subtitle.
In 2009, Extreme Rules was established as its own pay-per-view, replacing One Night Stand.[3] The 2017 event was the only Extreme Rules event to feature only one brand, being exclusive to Raw.[4] The 2020 edition was called The Horror Show at Extreme Rules.[5]
The last Extreme Rules event happened in 2022, as its October slot was given to Fastlane the following year.[6] This came after WWE's Chief Content Officer Triple H said he no longer wanted to have some of the gimmick events.[7]
