The WWE’s 2022 Extreme Rules event had plenty of MMA vibes Saturday in Philadelphia. In the main event, UFC Hall of Famer and former heavyweight and light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier , now a mainstay as an analyst, was the special guest referee for a Fight Pit matchup between former UFC fighter Matt Riddle and Seth Rollins. And if that wasn’t enough intrigue for the average MMA fan to cross over for a night, former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey was on the card – and recaptured a title. Cormier officiated the main event that saw Riddle and Rollins, who have been feuding for months, locked inside the Fight Pit, which differs from the traditional WWE steel cage in that it has no exit door.
