WWE Extreme Rules - Ranked From Worst To Best
6. 2013 - The Shield Cometh
Emanating from St. Louis, Missouri, the 2013 edition of WWE Extreme Rules served one function and one function only. It was the night that The Shield showed that they were a force to be reckoned with outside of six-man tags, as all three members ended the night with a newly-won championship belt slung over their shoulder.
Dean Ambrose bested Kofi Kingston early in the night for the WWE United States Championship, a title he would hold for longer than anyone else in the WWE era of the title despite defending it less than Aston Villa defend their own goal, and Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins combined to end the 245-day reign of Team Hell No at the top of the tag team pile.
In the main event of the night Brock Lesnar defeated Triple H inside a steel cage in a match the audience were already bored of, John Cena and Ryback fought to a no contest in a Last Man Standing match (a booking cop out if ever there was one), and Alberto Del Rio defeated Jack Swagger in an 'I Quit' match that was the end of Swagger's mini mega push in 2013.
Much like the 2015 edition of the show, this isn't exactly a bad show. The problem with it is that it is just there. It was a show of little intrigue, little interest, little excitement.
