WWE: Extreme Rules

Overall from an action and in-ring perspective it was a decent show. I think it was poorly booked though. Even though Cena won the title, Christian winning should've still ended the show. This is a minor show and a lot happened. We had three new champions plus a new star debuting, plus it goes without saying that a guy like Christian winning the title for the first time isn't a run-of-the-mill thing. Also, because of the brand split a few feuds came to an end.

More happened on this show in terms of storylines progressing and ending than happened on Wrestlemania.

Someone go far back as possible and try to find out the last time when neither Cena, Orton, and Triple H weren't part of a brand's main event.

I'm sure that's the case for every era of wrestling in most wrestling companies. At least the ones that matter.

Back in the Attitude/Invasion era though, there was so much more cycling of top superstars that it almost didn't matter when a higher ranked star was injured. Creative teams were better as were the wrestlers' work in the ring and on the mic.

The only negative thing, if any, about Christian winning the belt is that they sort of took away some of the shock of it by drafting Del Rio to RAW. Any halfway smart fan would know they weren't going to have both belts on one show, so Christian winning was kind of expected.

Good to see Christian win but he i'm sure they will have him lose it at the next pay per view event. Then Orton will have it for a long time
