On Sunday night, the WWE is holding their Extreme Rules PPV live from the St. Pete Times Forum in Tampa, Florida. The PPV can be seen live at 8pm EST on PPV. Tonight's PPV has a buzz about it due to the uncertainty of several WWE superstars who are in contractual limbo. On Friday, PWInsider.com reported that both CM Punk and Rey Mysterio Jr. have contracts expiring within the year and neither wrestler have given any indication of signing an extension with the WWE. CM Punk's contract ends in a few months and is leaning toward not signing an extension and taking time off. Mysterio's contract ends in April 2012 and he has been telling close associates that he's burnt out and is looking for some "down time". With both wrestlers in contractual limbo, many wrestling fans and critics believe both will lose their respective matches on tonight's PPV. CM Punk is wrestling Randy Orton in a "Last Man Standing" and Rey Mysterio Jr. is wrestling Cody Rhodes in a "Falls Count Anywhere" match.
Over the weekend, a source within the WWE told Fight Sports Examiner that Del Rio's departure to RAW meant that the chances of him winning the title at the PPV were slim to none. But the source cautioned that the Creative heads could change their minds. However, last week, The Wrestling Observer reported that Del Rio was rumored to feud Cena for the title over the summer and potentially headline the SummerSlam PPV.
