This Extreme Rules 2015 clash didn't give us 55 minutes and 45 seconds of pure, uninterrupted ring time, and the participants weren't on our screens throughout, but regardless of how much of it we actually saw, it technically ran for close to an hour.

Harper and Ambrose's Chicago Street Fight kicked off at the top of the show. It wasn't long before the duo had brawled their way to the back and into a car, which forced WWE to cut away and get on with the next bout. They eventually returned to the building, though. Two other matches had started and finished in the time they'd been away, and the duo scrapped their way back into the ring, with Ambrose eventually nailing his burly opponent with Dirty Deeds for the victory.

Lord knows what Dean and Luke were doing for the 45 minutes they spent away from the arena. Perhaps they went for a nice walk down by the river, grabbed burgers at a local diner, or spent time comparing receding hairlines. Whatever the case, they almost certainly weren't wrestling. This makes their inclusion something of a cop out, but it did clock in at 55:45, this making it eligible.
