Fresh off his win at WrestleMania, John Cena continued to feud with Bray Wyatt of The Wyatt Family. Cena called Wyatt out for not being able to defend his cryptic speeches without Luke Harper and Erick Rowan behind him. To make Wyatt prove himself, Cena challenged him a steel cage match, which Wyatt accepted.
On the April 7th edition of Raw, AJ Lee was bragging about defending her title against 13 other divas when NXT Women's Champion Paige came out to congratulate AJ on her title defense. AJ would then slap and challenged Paige to a match where AJ would put her title on the line. The match itself was dominated by AJ until Paige escaped AJ's submission move the Black Widow and hit her finishing move the Paige Turner to win her first WWE Divas Championship, allowing AJ to take a hiatus from WWE. On the April 15 episode of Main Event, AJ's bodyguard Tamina Snuka won a battle royal to become number one contender to Paige's title at the event. [1]
On the Raw after WrestleMania XXX, Triple H forced Daniel Bryan to defend the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against him after Bryan won the title at WrestleMania XXX.

On the April 18 edition of SmackDown, Triple H announced that Evolution would take on The Shield in a six man tag team match at Extreme Rules.[3]
On the April 21st episode of Raw, Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella were getting ready to celebrate their marriage when Stephanie McMahon came out and announced that Bryan would defend his WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Kane at Extreme Rules.
