Extreme Rules 2011 Matches

WWE's Extreme Rules 2011 is just about a week away! The latest Pay-Per-View event will have at least two championships on the line, and a series of matches all contested under "extreme rules."

One of the championships on the line will be Edge's recently surrendered World Heavyweight Championship. As fans know, Edge made his shocking retirement not long ago on WWE Raw, and then was required to surrender his belt on Smackdown. Now, that championship will be decided in a ladder match at the Pay-Per-View. Alberto Del Rio was already a #1 contender, and in a 20-man battle royal on Smackdown, Christian won the opposing spot. Who will prevail in this vicious match and become World Champion for their first ever reign?

Also on the line will be The Miz's WWE Championship belt. That title will be battled for in a Triple Threat steel cage match. Competing in the match will be John Cena, and if he's able to go, John Morrison. Morrison defeated R-Truth to take his #1 contender's spot in the match. This will be a tough battle inside the confines of a steel cage. Can The Miz continue his already lengthy WWE championship reign?

Also at Extreme Rules, Randy Orton and CM Punk will extend their current feud. Orton was victorious over Punk at Wrestlemania 27, but now they will fight in a Last Man Standing match. Will Orton be able to continue his winning ways against Punk, or will the New Nexus leader finally prevail?

Rey Mysterio may have lost to Cody Rhodes at Wrestlemania, but now he's looking for revenge. Rhodes has been looking to extract malicious revenge on Mysterio ever since Rey injured his face. Rhodes has been wearing a protective mask and claims Mysterio has shattered his hopes and dreams. Now Rhodes will attempt to defeat Mysterio once again as they compete in a Falls Count Anywhere Match. Will Cody finally get the revenge he wants?

Finally, there will be an interesting tag team match on the Extreme Rules 2011 PPV card. Jerry Lawler was able to defeat Jack Swagger in a match on Raw which allowed him the chance to face Michael Cole in the ring again. As many know, Lawler lost to Cole at WM27. The win over Swagger also allowed Lawler to pick a stipulation, so he chose to make it a tag team affair. Lawler has chosen Jim Ross as his partner and has partnered Cole up with Swagger. However, in the past several weeks Cole abused and humiliated his trainer, leaving many to wonder if Swagger is really on board!

Extreme Rules 2011 promises to be yet another exciting WWE Pay-Per-View! The event starts at 7:45PM EST from St Pete Times Forum in Tampa, Florida on Sunday, May 1st. WWE Characters will provide updated results here at the blog starting at 8PM EST on the night of the PPV through its 11PM EST conclusion.
