Ranking 6 Best Randy Orton Matches At WWE Extreme Rules
5. Extreme Rules Match vs. Jack Swagger (2010)
Jack Swagger entered this event shortly after cashing in his Money In The Bank briefcase to obtain the World Heavyweight Championship. Because Orton had two previous wins over Swagger he was granted a title shot in an Extreme Rules match by former Baywatch star David Hasselhoff. "The Hoff" was guest hosting Raw shortly before this but otherwise he's irrelevant to this match.
Only a few moments during this match would either competitor really capitalize on the stipulation. Orton would smack Swagger over the head a few times with a trash can and he did it with such ferocity that made it easy to forget how flimsy those things look.
Later, Orton would set up a chair in the middle of the ring for the purpose of dropping Swagger onto it via RKO. However Jack would block this attempt mid-RKO and cause Orton to smash the chair with his own back. That set up a gut-wrench powerbomb by the Oklahoma native who then covered him for the win.
The match was slow much of the time that Swagger had control, so much so that the announcers kept pointing it out. They'd question why he wasn't attacking and just standing there. That, coupled with the fact that this Extreme Rules match never really became extreme keeps this one from being higher on this list.
