Extreme Rules was good this year, not better than last year's edition. Let's break it down.
The Orton/Kane match was pretty good. Standard Falls Count Anywhere action. I liked the DDT off the announce table. Anyway, Orton gets the victory with a RKO on a chair and hopefully will move on to a feud more interesting.
Clay beats Ziggler. Ziggler has fallen SO FAR since January. One day kid...
Rhodes regains the IC Title, which means WWE isn't ready to push the young kid just yet. That's fine, as long as he's doing something in the WWE. Hopefully, this is the last match of this feud as I'm sick of it as well. Congrats Rhodes! Keep the title this time!
Daniel Bryan and Sheamus have the match they should have had at Wrestlemania. What a WRESTLING match this was. I really like Bryan in the ring as he can bring out the best in anyone and Sheamus definitely had to step his game up to beat Bryan. The end came when Sheamus hit a nasty Brogue Kick on Bryan to retain. I'm alright with the outcome, but where was AJ? They showed her in the promo so I'm thinking she would make an appearance in the match at least, but she was nowhere to be found. With this victory, Bryan will be taking a break from the World Title division while I guess Del Rio steps up. Del Rio VS Sheamus could be good, two guys who got pushed WAY too fast and paid for it lol.
Ryback squash.
Punk and Jericho gave fans the exact opposite of what they saw at Wrestlemania and it was GREAT. Punk and Jericho did just about everything you can do in a street fight and it was easily the match of the night. The elbow through the announce table was amazing to see. CM Punk defeats Jericho again in his hometown and now moves on. So, what is next for Jericho?
The main event between Lesnar and Cena was much more brutal and bloody than I would have ever expected. Lesnar must have forgotten that this is pro wrestling and not UFC. Those elbows to Cena were NASTY! Lesnar completely dominated Cena in this match, but in the end, Lesnar made one mistake and Super Cena appeared and with two moves, John Cena defeated Brock Lesnar in the main event of Extreme Rules. It was surprising to say the least to see Lesnar lose like that, but refreshing as well. Cena NEEDED the victory.
Anyway, Extreme Rules was good. Let's get to Over the Limit. In one of the weirdest moves WWE has made this year, Daniel Bryan won a Beat the Clock challenge and will now face WWE Champion CM Punk for the belt at OTL. What? Where the hell did this come from? Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining because I've wanted to see a PPV match between the two since they had their series of matches in the beginning of the year, but it's just random. A little part of me believes that the referee messed up with Jericho's match and at the last minute, made Daniel Bryan the #1 contender. Maybe Jericho will complain and it will become a Triple Threat. That would be this generation's Angle/Benoit/Jericho. In a shocking twist, Johnny Ace will face Cena at OTL. I don't know where to begin with this one. For one, I thought Cena was going to take part in the Beat the Clock challenge, win, and finally give us Punk/Cena 3 for the WWE Title. 2nd, you know this is going to be a handicap match where Cena will face heels like Henry, Ziggler, Swagger, and Tensai only to come back and defeat his boss. 3rd, NOBODY WANTS TO SEE THIS MATCH! It's pointless! Give me Punk/Cena or Cena/Ziggler, just not this. Maybe there is something to it. Maybe WWE has something up their sleeve but I guess we'll have to see. Over the Limit is looking like it's going to be another 1 match PPV. I'm not interested in Cena/Johnny boy and I don't know if Del Rio/Sheamus will be really good. I DO know if Bryan and Punk get 25 minutes, they'll steal the show and have match of the year, but only time will tell. Hopefully, the undercard matches will be good, hopefully something with Rhodes/Orton? I know we've seen it already but I want to see it again, give Rhodes a chance to beat Orton for the IC Title. Maybe something with Christian? I don't know, but Bryan/Punk will be amazing, guaranteed!
