The 2014 Extreme Rules was the sixth annual Extreme Rules professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming event produced by WWE. It took place on May 4, 2014, at the Izod Center in East Rutherford, New Jersey, and was the first Extreme Rules event to livestream on the WWE Network, which launched in February. The concept of Extreme Rules is that the event features various hardcore-based matches.

Eight professional wrestling matches were contested at the event, including one on the Kickoff pre-show. Only three matches, including the pre-show match, were contested under a hardcore stipulation. In the main event, Daniel Bryan defeated Kane in an Extreme Rules match to retain the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. In another prominent match, The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, and Roman Reigns) defeated the reunited Evolution (Triple H, Randy Orton, and Batista) in a six-man tag team match.

The event received 108,000 buys (excluding WWE Network views), down from the previous year's 231,000 buys.
