10 Worst Un-Extreme Matches That Took Place At WWE Extreme Rules

10. Brodus Clay Vs. Dolph Ziggler - 2012

In chronological order and discounting the pre-show, this is the first match in Extreme Rules history not to have a stipulation.

Brodus Clay re-debuted under his Funkasaurus gimmick in early 2012, transforming him from a terrifying monster heel into a dancing dinosaur from outer space. Not my description, but that of WWE, who actually billed him as being from "Planet Funk".

As part of one of Brodus' first big feuds upon his return, he was targeted by the heel tag team of Jack Swagger and Dolph Ziggler. This led to Ziggler taking on Clay one-on-one at Extreme Rules in... a singles match.

The match itself was nothing spectacular. It lasted less than five minutes before Clay picked up the win to continue his 21-match undefeated streak. Ziggler was praised by many critics for putting Clay over strong, but that's really all there is to this match.

WWE booked this to be short to protect Clay, but they could have put a stipulation on it as well. When you consider that this feud also included Swagger, Santino Marella, and Hornswoggle, then it makes even more sense for this match to be no DQ. A few run-ins would have gotten more people on the show and protected Clay even further.
