WWE has confirmed, through a social media post, the official poster for Extreme Rules 2022. The Premium Live Event will take place on October 8 at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.

Extreme Rules is an annual gimmick event produced by WWE since 2009. The concept of the show is that the event features various matches that are contested under hardcore rules and generally features one Extreme Rules match. The defunct Extreme Championship Wrestling promotion, which WWE acquired in 2003, originally used the "extreme rules" term to describe the regulations for all of its matches; WWE adopted the term and has since used it in place of "hardcore match" or "hardcore rules." On October 25, 2021, WWE revealed its 2022 major event schedule for the Raw and SmackDown brands, with a to be announced event for October. On June 13, 2022, that October event was announced as Extreme Rules and it would take place on Saturday, October 8, 2022, at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, marking the first Extreme Rules to be held in October and on a Saturday. It will be the 14th event in the Extreme Rules chronology and will air on pay-per-view worldwide and will be available to livestream on Peacock in the United States and the WWE Network in international markets.
