I'm really lookin forward to the edge, hardy match shud be a classic

I hope Chris Jericho wins because I hate Rey Mysterio. John Cena will obviously win. I think only the Intercontinental and ECW championships will change hands.

I'm really looking forward to WWE extreme rules tonight,with Raw and Smackdown being aimed at a younger demographic these days,it's great for older fans like myself,spoilt by the 'attitude era' and ECW ( the REAL ECW not the current shite ) to see some genuine hardcore matches.Jericho v Mysterio should be the highlight,two top-draw performers going balls out fingers crossed a classic.There might be a surprise with Orton v Batista,i quite fancy Batista to win that.Edge v Jeff Hardy in a ladder match is a mouthwatering prospect,i can't see Edge dropping the belt just yet,so expect interference from Matt.With Punk beating Umanga on Smackdown expect a reverse result tonight.Vicky v Santina should hopefully be the comedy moment of the year (I'm sure Santina has been on 'The Boudoir' ) .All in all can't wait.

Punk Wins Punk Wins Punk Wins

I enjoyed the show for the most part...but it hardly lived up to the title, the fact CM Punk won again kind of spoiled it for me, I don't get why they keep pushing him, I was hoping they were going to give Jeff Hardy a shot at being champ again...his and Edge's match was the highlight of the show for me.

Reason why i think they didn't give Jeff another run is because he might not sign a new contract with the WWE an his current one is coming to a end in a few months i think.

Wasn't the worst PPV that i have seen but have to agree punk cashing it in ruined it for me and the orton match was a big let down.

Orton vs. Batista was a total joke of a Steel Cage Match.

According to sources, new WWE champion Batista is scheduled for surgery on Tuesday morning for a torn bicep, which he sustained prior to his match with Randy Orton at 'Extreme Rules' and was a likely factor for the match being so fast.

Batista just came back from a hamstring injury at the beginning of April and it is no secret that he was rushed back to TV and asked to work a full schedule with house shows.

One would expect an angle to be shot Monday night on 'Raw' and lead to Batista dropping the title.

As noted earlier, Batista has suffered a torn bicep and is scheduled to have surgery this coming Tuesday. As seen last night, Batista still worked the Extreme Rules pay-per-view, winning the title. As of a few hours ago, he was also written into tonight's Raw. Expect the injury to be worked into storylines also. There's no word yet on the severity of the tear or how long Batista is expected out of action, but some people have been wondering if the injury will mean an imminent return for Triple H.
