Both rivals were very familiar with this environment and made for a very fitting culmination to this broiling rivalry.Įdge and Hardy brought the best out of each other on this memorable night, where both put it all on the line to deliver a tremendous performance. On one edition of SmackDown, Hardy defeated the Rated-R Superstar and was able to pick the stipulation for the rematch himself, where he eventually chose a Ladder Match and rightfully so. After Edge escaped Judgement Day unscathed, Hardy was determined to take full advantage of his one last shot when he contended for the World Heavyweight Championship at Extreme Rules. The long history between Edge and Jeff Hardy cannot be overlooked, as they were also the pioneers of some of the very first Ladder matches in WWE. With most of the event's matches being deemed some of the best in recent years, it was difficult to rank them accordingly, but I've managed to do my best based upon that particular match's drama, build-up, enjoyment, importance and, of course, the performances of the wrestlers involved.Īs we prepare for this Sunday's pending Extreme Rules event, let's take a look a back at the most remarkable matches to take place at the pay-per-view since 2009. However, we can't make an accurate analysis of this year's Extreme Rules event without looking back at years past and comparing each of the greatest contests in the pay-per-view's history. Per the concept of the event and its self-explanatory title, every match on the card must contain an extreme stipulation.Īlthough only four matches are confirmed for this year's installment thus far, it still looks to be an extremely entertaining crowd given the wrestlers involved as well as the electric Chicago atmosphere. This Sunday, WWE presents its fourth annual Extreme Rules pay-per-view live from the Allstate Arena in Chicago, Ill.
