Result: Miz kills Ambrose with the Skull-Crushing Finale to win the title (20:00).

Rating: It's pretty silly to have a disqualification rule on a PPV called Extreme Rules, though perhaps not quite as silly as Ambrose grabbing the chair and very nearly getting himself disqualified early on.

The match was decent overall, just not very interesting, as the DQ rule wasn't used in a particularly interesting or exciting way to create tension, and it just went on way, way too long.

The Maryse shenanigans were vaguely amusing, and thankfully the ref wasn't dumb enough to fall for it, though him almost disqualifying Ambrose moments later made him look suddenly stupid. Miz then capitalising on this was a lame, lazy finish. 6/10
