WWE Extreme Rules Update: What Exactly is a Russian Chain Match?

wrestlemania 31As expected, the “Russian Chain Match” between United States Champion John Cena and Rusev at the upcoming WWE Extreme Rules pay-per-view will be a variation on the classic strap match. Both Superstars will be tied to each other with a chain – traditionally a rope or leather strap is used instead – and the winner is the man who touches all four corners of the ring first. 

John Cena clarified the stipulation himself at tonight’s WWE Smackdown television taping event in London. We will have complete results from the show up on the website shortly.
