WWE returned last night with the first major event since Daniel Bryan's sensational WrestleMania triumph one month ago. Here we round up the results and key storyline developments.The pre-show “weeLC” Match: El Torito defeated Hornswoggle. This could have been on the main card, it was that good. Surprisingly good, even. A number of tables were destroyed and a few ladders were used, mainly due to interferences from Los Matadores and 3MB. El Torito delivered a springboard senton through a miniature table on Hornswoggle for the win.
1. Cesaro defeated Rob Van Dam and Jack Swagger (Elimination match). Swagger was the first to be eliminated after receiving a Five Star Frog Splash from Van Dam. Cesaro then picked up the win after a Neutralizer onto a trash can to Van Dam.
2. Alexander Rusev defeated R-Truth (two-on-one handicap match). Xavier Woods didn't really have a huge part to play in this match so the “handicap” aspect of the bout was never really in play. Rusev won by submission with The Accolade, taking his winning streak even further.Outside of WrestleMania last month, I thought Extreme Rules was the best WWE pay-per-view in quite some time.
While there have been some good matches here and there on WWE pay-per-views lately, the events from top to bottom left a lot to be desired.
However, that was not the case Sunday night at the IZOD Center in East Rutherford, N.J. I thought the card delivered overall and it made for an enjoyable show.Daniel Bryan put his WWE World Heavyweight title on the line against Kane at Extreme Rules, and things quickly got out of hand. Bryan and Kane took the fight backstage at the Izod Center, where Bryan knocked out the Big Red Machine with a crowbar. The match had to end in the ring to be official, so in order to get Kane back to the ring, Bryan loaded him on a forklift and drove him to the ring himself.
