Extreme Rules was low key but had the best match quality of any WWE PPV in some time.
Orton/Punk was a strong opener and the Sheamus/Kofi tables match for the US title was a smartly worked match, Sheamus is becoming a real general. Cody/Rey was good and I thought the Laycool match was well worked by both, and of course the debut of Kharma was well executed, although I was surprised they had her attack a DIVA everyone hates, the look on the faces of the one's back in the locker room was gold.
The blight on the night was the stupid Cole garbage, not only did the match suck but Cole won so this crap will be continuing.
The ladder match between Del Rio and Christian was one of the best in a while, probably since the classic HBK/Jericho one in October 2008. The crowds response and the involvement of Edge was great and in my view it should have went on last.
The triple threat cage match for the WWE title was full of energy and played off the escape rules better than any cage match I've seen in the WWE since the JoMo/Hardy match at NYR in 2007, with all 3 guys showing great speed and athleticism in getting up the cage for the saves. The match lost it's steam when R Truth got involved and Cena's win is just another meaningless one, but overall it was a solid main event.
