Extreme Rules (2014) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by WWE which took place on May 4, 2014 at the Izod Center in East Rutherford, New Jersey. It was the sixth event in the history of the show.

Eight professional wrestling matches took place at the event. In the main event, Daniel Bryan successfully defended the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Kane. Also, The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns) managed to overcome 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.

The professional wrestling matches at Extreme Rules featured professional wrestlers performing as characters in scripted events pre-determined by the hosting promotion, WWE. Storylines between the characters played out on WWE's primary television programs, Raw and SmackDown.

Fresh off his win at WrestleMania, John Cena continued to feud with Bray Wyatt of The Wyatt Family. Cena called Wyatt out for his inability to physically defend himself and his cryptic messages without Luke Harper and Erick Rowan by his side. To make Wyatt prove himself, Cena challenged him to a steel cage match, which Wyatt accepted. On the April 28, 2014 episode of Raw, Cena entered the steel cage to address Wyatt's evil message saying that it has begun to spread amongst the audience, only to be greeted by Wyatt and a children's choir singing "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands" with many Wyatt Family supporters singing along. As the children surrounded the ring, the lights went out before coming back on, with the children now wearing sheep masks as Wyatt laughed maniacally with a child on his lap.
