I see no rocking chair.....so that could be anybody.

What if it's Willem Dafoe from that Lighthouse movie?

 

[Y2Jayne]

Missed the fireflies

 

[Deezy]

Clearly those are birds.....for Riddle

 

[Chris]

I do think those things are obviously intentional but I'm not convinced there's any significance in them only being on that graphic and not the women's one too yet until we see some others and make sure they haven't just not updated the women's one yet

I mean his face has looked half dead for a long time. And it's almost always void of emotion.

Drew McIntyre vs. Karrion Kross (Strap Match)​

Time is running out! At WWE Extreme Rules, Drew McIntyre will tangle with Karrion Kross in a brutal Strap Match.

Since emerging on SmackDown, the ominous pair of former NXT Champion Karrion Kross and Scarlett have been lurking in the shadows and keeping a close eye on McIntyre, even distracting McIntyre during his Undisputed WWE Universal Title Match against Roman Reigns at WWE Clash at the Castle. Among his constant efforts to intimidate McIntyre, Kross brought his adversary into the darkness when he attacked the former WWE Champion from behind on the Sept. 9 edition of the blue brand and locked McIntyre in the dangerous Kross Jacket.

A determined McIntyre reemerged the following week to accuse Kross of being a coward for continuing his onslaught of cheap shots. Then, on the Sept. 23 edition of SmackDown, McIntyre revealed that WWE management had granted him a Strap Match against Kross at the WWE Extreme Rules Premium Live Event, guaranteeing there will be no place for Kross to hide.

Kross responded to the news by trying to again ambush McIntyre from behind. McIntyre was ready for him, though, and unleashed an excruciating strap-infused attack that only ended when the nefarious Scarlett brought the heat and hit The SmackDown Warrior with a fireball and a low blow. This opened the door for Kross to against lock in the Kross Jacket and accept the Strap Match challenge.

I may still end up eating my words but i'm enjoying the diversity of the gimmicks for the 3 matches they've announced so far and they've not gone the route of giving us the same match types basically but just under different names like No DQ's, Street Fight, Falls Count Anywhere etc.

Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair vs. Bayley (Ladder Match)​

Bianca Belair and Bayley have each climbed the ladder of success in WWE to earn multiple title reigns, but which Superstar will prove they are a step above the rest when the two storied rivals square off in a brutal Ladder Match for the Raw Women’s Championship?

After she was sidelined for nine months, Bayley made her shocking return to WWE at SummerSlam, bringing along companions Dakota Kai and IYO SKY and setting her sights on Belair and the Raw Women’s Title.

Damage CTRL immediately began to run roughshod over the likes of Asuka and Alexa Bliss to set up a monumental Six-Woman Tag Team Match in which Bayley became the first person to pin The EST of WWE in over 300 days.

The trio continued to pick apart the competition, with Kai & SKY winning the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles, as they looked to take control of WWE. After Bayley dispatched Bliss in one-on-one competition, Damage CTRL turned their attention to Belair as she attempted to rescue her fallen friend from a 3-on-1 beatdown, but Belair fell victim to the numbers game as Bayley laid down a challenge for WWE Extreme Rules.

Unafraid, Belair accepted the Premium Live Event match the following week, agreeing to up the stakes for a can’t-miss showdown.

Who will reach new heights and claim control when these two longtime rivals clash?

Edge vs. Finn Bálor (“I Quit” Match)​

At WWE Extreme Rules, Edge and Finn Bálor will seek eradication.

Edge hopes to destroy the very group he founded, The Judgment Day, while Bálor is out to end Edge’s career.

The Judgment Day thought they had The Rated R-Superstar in their rear-view mirror after they beat him down following his match against Dominik Mysterio. The beating was so vicious that it left Edge with a grade 2 MCL sprain.

But much to The Judgment Day’s surprise, the Hall of Famer made his return on the Sept. 26 edition of Raw with one request: that he and Bálor meet in an “I Quit” Match.

Edge will likely have to face this battle alone since Rey Mysterio has refused to lay a hand on Dominik, who shocked the world by joining the treacherous group after kicking Edge below the belt at WWE Clash at the Castle.

With pride on the line for both competitors, one will have the fortitude and willpower to go the distance and force their bitter rival to utter two of the most devastating words a Superstar can ever say: I Quit.
