As previously reported here on eWn, UFC legend and WWE Attitude Era standout Ken Shamrock has been campaigning via social media to be the special guest referee for the upcoming Fight Pit Match between Matt Riddle and Seth Rollins at Extreme Rules. Although it would have been a storied return, plans for a special guest referee for the WWE Extreme Rules pay-per-view event have already been solidified.
UFC legend and former UFC Heavyweight and Light Heavyweight Champion Daniel Cormier was announced this weekend to be the special guest referee for the match. On Twitter, Shamrock recognized the announcement of Cormier’s role in the match and shared his approval of the decision. He wrote,
“This is amazing, I’m hoping Daniel Cormier will have a role in WWE after this match #ExtremeRules”

Seen posts about people wanting me to guest ref the Rollins vs Riddle Fight Pit… If so we’d have to call it the Lions Den 🦁 Someone would have to let @WWE or @TripleH know 😂
