| WWE Extreme Rules 2011 Results |
The fifth annual WWE Extreme Rules came to you, live on pay-per-view, from the St. Pete Times Forum in Tampa, FL. Since the shocking announcement a couple of weeks ago that then World Heavyweight Champion Edge would be forced to retire from in-ring competition, forcing the eleven-time World Champion to vacate the title, SmackDown has been without a World Heavyweight Champion, but on the one night that the WWE goes extreme, Edge’s best friend, Christian, would look to rectify the situation as “Captain Charisma” would face “The Mexican Aristocrat” Alberto Del Rio in Christian’s specialty, a Ladder Match with the winner claiming the vacant World Heavyweight Title, but after the surprising reveal this past Monday night during the 2011 WWE Draft, Alberto Del Rio is now a member of the RAW roster, meaning that, if Del Rio wins the World Heavyweight Title, he will take the title with him to RAW, leaving SmackDown without a World Champion! The WWE Championship would be up for grabs in extreme fashion at Extreme Rules as well as the self-proclaimed “Most Must-See Champion in WWE History” The Miz would defend the WWE Title against John Cena and the man who took the spot originally held by R-Truth in the match, “The Prince of Parkour” John Morrison as the three Superstars would battle in a Triple Threat Steel Cage Match where the only ways to win are by pinfall, submission, or escaping the cage with both feet touching the floor! Despite his shocking draft to SmackDown via the 2011 WWE Draft, Randy Orton still has unfinished business with a RAW Superstar by the name of CM Punk as “The Viper” would face the leader of The New Nexus in a Last Man Standing Match where the only way to win is to incapacitate your opponent to the point where he cannot get to his feet by the referee’s count of ten! While RAW lost Randy Orton, among others, in the 2011 Draft, RAW also gained some of SmackDown’s best, including the incomparable Rey Mysterio, but much like Randy Orton, Rey Mysterio has some unfinished business before he heads to Monday Nights as “The Ultimate Underdog” would be looking for revenge against the Superstar who defeated him by questionable means at WrestleMania, as well as repeatedly assaulted him over recent weeks, in Cody Rhodes as the two would square off in a Falls Count Anywhere Match where pinfall or submission can occur anywhere in the arena! Ever since the anonymous General Manager of RAW ruled him the winner of his WrestleMania match by disqualification, the self-proclaimed “Voice of the WWE” Michael Cole has crowed about being “undefeated” at WrestleMania and has even had himself knighted as “Sir” Michael Cole, all the while aligning himself with “The All-American American” Jack Swagger to assault Jerry “The King” Lawler and Lawler’s legendary friend and colleague, “Good Ol’ J.R.” Jim Ross, but at Extreme Rules, the Hall of Fame team of Jim Ross & Jerry “The King” Lawler would be looking to shut Michael Cole once and for all as they would face the so-called “Sir” Michael Cole and his trainer, Jack Swagger, in a Country Whipping Match, a match that has a lot uncertainty regarding the rules, but one thing is known for certain, the match will feature a leather strap for the competitors to use against each other! Since 2009, the team known as LayCool, Layla & Michelle McCool, has dominated the Divas division together, holding the Women’s and Divas Titles both together and individually as the team established a seemingly concrete friendship, but personal animosity has driven these former best friends apart and it has become apparent between the two accomplished Divas that there is only room for one of them in the WWE and, at Extreme Rules, the first British Women’s Champion in WWE history, Layla, will go one-on-one with the first Diva to win both the Women’s and Divas Titles, Michelle McCool, in a match with no disqualifications and no count-outs with the loser being forced out of the WWE as the career of one of these Divas will end in a Loser Leaves WWE Match!
