Background
Extreme Rules will feature professional wrestling matches that involved wrestlers from pre-existing feuds, plots, and storylines that played out on WWE's primary television programs. Wrestlers portrayed villains or heroes as they followed a series of events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.

At WrestleMania 31, John Cena defeated Rusev to win the WWE United States Championship, marking Rusev's first loss via pinfall. On the April 2 episode of SmackDown, it was announced that Cena would defend the title in a rematch against Rusev at the event.

At WrestleMania 31, Daniel Bryan won the ladder match to capture the WWE Intercontinental Championship. On the March 30 episode of Raw, Bad News Barrett attacked Bryan after his match with Dolph Ziggler. On April 6, it was announced that Bryan would defend his title against Barrett at the event.

At WrestleMania 31, Randy Orton defeated Seth Rollins. Later in the event, Rollins cashed in his Money in the Bank contract during the scheduled match between Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns and pinned Roman Reigns to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
