Fitghtful Select has reported that the company has decided to use only 8 to 10-foot ladders during the match. The mandate does not seem odd until we bring up how modern ladder matches in WWE use 12-foot ladders.

There has been no evident reason why this change is being made and this changes the match logistically. Now, both Superstars will have to stand closer to the highest rung of the ladder, or it might just mean that WWE is planning to hang the title belt a little lower.

In the go-home segment for this match ahead of Extreme Rules on last night's RAW, Damage CTRL beat down Bianca Belair, Asuka, and Alexa Bliss. Bayley then climbed the ladder and sat upon it with the RAW Women's Championship. alongside the Women's Tag Team Champions IYO SKY and Dakota Kai.
