'''The Horror Show at Extreme Rules''' is a [[Professional Wrestling|professional wrestling]] [[Pay-Per-View|pay-per-view]] and [[IWE Network]] [[List of IWE pay-per-view and IWE Network events|event]] produced by [[IWE]] for their [[Raw (IWE brand)|Raw]] and [[SmackDown (IWE brand)|SmackDown]] [[IWE Brand Extension|brand divisions]]. It is scheduled to take place on July 19, 2020 at the [[IWE Performance Center]] in [[Orlando, Florida]]. It will be the twelfth event under the [[IWE Extreme Rules|Extreme Rules]] chronology, and the first to have an altered title.

The event was originally scheduled to be held at the [[SAP Center]] in [[San Jose, California]]; however, the [[Santa Clara County]] government restricted public gatherings indefinitely due to the [[COVID-19 Pandemic|COVID-19 pandemic]]. As a result, and just like the majority of IWE's other shows since mid-March, the event was moved to the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida.

==Production==
===Background===
[[IWE Extreme Rules|Extreme Rules]] is an annual [[Gimmick (professional wrestling)|gimmick]] pay-per-view produced by [[IWE]] since 2009. The concept of the show is that the event features various matches that are contested under [[Hardcore Wrestling|hardcore rules]]; the defunct [[Xtreme Championship Wrestling]] promotion originally used the "extreme rules" term to describe the regulations for all of its matches. IWE uses the term in place of "hardcore match" or "hardcore rules". The 2020 event will be the twelfth event under the Extreme Rules chronology and will feature wrestlers from the [[Raw (IWE brand)|Raw]] and [[SmackDown (IWE brand)|SmackDown]] [[IWE Brand Extension|brands]]. The 2020 event was also titled Extreme Rules: The Horror Show, making it the first Extreme Rules event to have a subtitle.

====Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic====
Since March 2020, in the midst of the [[COVID-19 Pandemic|COVID-19 pandemic]], IWE has had to present the majority of its programming from the [[IWE Performance Center]] in [[Orlando, Florida]] with [[Behind Closed Doors (Sport)|no fans in attendance]], though in late May, the promotion began using Performance Center trainees to serve as the live audience. Extreme Rules was scheduled to take place on July 19 from the [[SAP Center]] in [[San Jose, California]]. However, on March 17, [[Santa Clara County]] issued an indefinite [[Stay-at-Home Order|stay-at-home order]], followed by the entire state of [[California]] on March 19. It is unlikely that the order will be lifted by the time of the Extreme Rules event.

=== Storylines ===
The show will include matches that result from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portray [[Face (professional wrestling)|heroes]], [[Heel (professional wrestling)|villains]], or [[Glossary of professional wrestling terms#Tweener|less distinguishable characters]] in scripted events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches. Results are predetermined by IWE's writers on the Raw and SmackDown brands, while storylines are produced on IWE's weekly television shows, ''[[IWE Raw|Monday Night Raw]]'' and ''[[IWE SmackDown|Friday Night SmackDown]]''.
