UPDATE:
According to PWInsider, Payback will be on May 1st with the location to be announced, while Extreme Rules is now indeed the May 22nd show in Newark, New Jersey.

Well, this is curious.
All of a sudden, on Ticketmaster’s website, WWE Payback on May 22nd, which is in the middle of its ticket pre-sale, has been renamed Extreme Rules, logo and all. (http://www.ticketmaster.com/wwe-extreme-rules-newark-new-jersey-05-22-2016/event/02004F8DCE8421E2?artistid=1675254&majorcatid=10004&minorcatid=27) At least as of last night during Monday Night Raw, all local New York market ads for the tickets going on sale (the card is at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey), the show was still branded as PayBack.
Extreme Rules had originally ben scheduled for April 24th (three weeks after WrestleMania), but no location had been announced and tickets never went on sale. Extreme Rules is, as of right now, not listed on WWE.com’s event page in any form, though Payback is. Unless there’s something else going on, it looks like the second April pay-per-view has been cancelled to have a longer build for the May post-WrestleMania special. Maybe there’s a piece of the puzzle missing, but with Newark tickets on sale and no location even announced for the second April show, it looks like this is the case.
