Description
Extreme Rules (2012) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by WWE. It took place on April 29, 2012 at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois. It was the fourth event under the Extreme Rules chronology. Eight professional wrestling matches were scheduled on the event's card and one pre-show match was streamed on YouTube. It featured Brock Lesnar's first WWE match since WrestleMania XX in 2004

On the April 2 Raw, John Cena spoke about his loss to The Rock the previous night at WrestleMania XXVIII, which was dubbed a once-in-a-lifetime match and the most important battle of Cena's career. Cena asked for the Rock to come out so that Cena could offer his congratulations. Instead, Brock Lesnar came into the ring, making his first WWE appearance since 2004. Lesnar offered to shake hands with Cena but instead executed the F-5 maneuver, dropping Cena onto the mat. The next week, General Manager John Laurinaitis revealed that he signed Lesnar to bring "legitimacy" and for Lesnar to become the "new face of the WWE"; Laurinaitis also announced that Lesnar would face Cena at Extreme Rules. On April 16, the match was made into an Extreme Rules match.

On the January 2 Raw, Chris Jericho returned to WWE. He made it clear that he wanted to reclaim his title as the "best wrestler in the world," which CM Punk had claimed to be since Money in the Bank 2011. Punk defeated Jericho at WrestleMania XXVIII. In the weeks following the event, Jericho attacked Punk several times, once pouring a bottle of Jack Daniel's over him — a pointed insult to the straight edge Punk, and vowed to lead Punk "down the path to alcoholism just like father." On the April 16 Raw, Jericho announced that he would face Punk in a Chicago Street Fight at Extreme Rules for the WWE Championship. Punk had held the WWE Championship since November 2011 at Survivor Series.

At WWE's Royal Rumble pay-per-view event on January 29, Sheamus won the Royal Rumble match to earn the opportunity to face either WWE Champion CM Punk or World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan for their respective titles at WrestleMania XXVIII. Sheamus elected to wrestle Bryan and defeated him in 18 seconds to win the championship. On the April 10 SmackDown, Bryan used his rematch clause as ex-champion to announce a 2-out-of-3 Falls match for the championship at Extreme Rules between him and Sheamus. Bryan chose the multiple-falls format to prevent Sheamus from scoring another quick victory.

Another rivalry heading into Extreme Rules was between Randy Orton and Kane. In July 2011, Kane lost in a Street Fight to Orton, and the two shook hands after the match as a sign of respect. In 2012, a newly re-masked Kane viewed the handshake as a sign of weakness, hence Kane started a feud with Orton and defeated him at WrestleMania XXVIII. Yet, on the April 6 SmackDown, Orton defeated Kane in a No Disqualification match. On the April 10 SmackDown, Kane attacked Orton and his father "Cowboy" Bob Orton. On the April 20 SmackDown, it was announced that Kane and Orton would face off at Extreme Rules in a Falls Count Anywhere match.

On April 23, the fifth match for the event was announced, a rematch between Big Show and Cody Rhodes for the WWE Intercontinental Championship; Big Show won the title from Rhodes at WrestleMania XXVIII. Later that same day, it was announced that The Miz would challenge Santino Marella for the United States Championship in a pre-show match that would be streamed live on YouTube, on WWE.com, and on WWE's official Facebook page.

Also on April 23, Nikki Bella defeated the Divas Champion, Beth Phoenix, to capture the Divas Championship. Phoenix was slated to receive a rematch for the title during Extreme Rules, but due to suffering a sprained left ankle in storyline during the aforementioned match on April 23, Phoenix was not medically cleared to compete at the event. During the PPV, Phoenix was replaced by Layla, who made her first WWE appearance since the 13 May 2011 SmackDown. Layla had suffered a knee injury at the previous year's Extreme Rules event and was subsequently attacked by Kharma.
