WWE: 8 Most Shocking Results In Extreme Rules History

4. Christian Defeats Alberto Del Rio For The World Title - Extreme Rules 2011

This one had been long awaited, so much so that when it finally did happen, it felt like a real shock. Christian overcoming Alberto Del Rio for the world title at Extreme Rules 2011 was remarkable for so many reasons. It was his first big championship win for one thing, but beyond that, it was also a tribute to real life best friend Edge who had retired as Champion just a month previous. This was a really emotional moment for us fans who had followed both Edge and Christian's career for so long. The other remarkable thing was that Christian won the title in a ladder match, the gimmick he and Edge had made famous. It felt like Christian's career had finally come full circle. What made the moment all the greater was the fact that the battle had been so good, Del Rio and Christian worked through a spot filled classic, with plenty of great technical work to boot. We finally witnessed what we thought we never would, Christian as a WWE World Champion.
