Rules of a Russian Chain Match at WWE “Extreme Rules” Revealed

It was first announced on the April 13 edition of “Monday Night Raw” that John Cena will be defending the United States Championship at WWE “Extreme Rules” in a Russian Chain match.

It was Cena who defeated Rusev at WrestleMania 31 to not only end his unpinned streak, but to also become United States Champion for a fourth time.

Per WWE.com, here are the rules of a Russian Chain match:

“Adding insult to injury, Lana then revealed that she had successfully negotiated the new terms of the previously announced match, which will see Rusev and Cena tethered at the wrist by a length of heavy-duty chain. Living up to Extreme Rules’ reputation, both Superstars will be allowed to use the chain at their discretion, whether using it as a whip or to add weight to a punch, as Rusev demonstrated on Raw.”

Cena recently teased on Instagram that he may be bringing back his old school spinner United States Championship belt which he used during his Doctor of Thuganomics gimmick earlier in his career.

Editor’s Note

I originally predicted that this title defense would be a Flag match in a piece for the site. I’m glad I was wrong. This will be A LOT better. What makes the chain Russian, though?
