EXTREME RULES, Year 2

TNA/WWE close out April. Surprisingly, the WWE Championship is not on the line. Does John Cena think no one is worthy?

Match 1. Ladder - Chris Sabin vs. Petey Williams   TNA X-Division Championship
This is an awesome way to kick off the event. Williams and Sabin were both on top of the ladder. Sabin went to punch him off, but Williams blocked it and landed a neck breaker from the top. Sabin went for the title again, but Williams pulled him down and hit the Canadian Destroyer. They were battling again. This time, Sabin shoved Williams off and won.

Match 2. Submission - Kassius Ohno vs. Sami Zayn
Ohno tossed Zayn into the ropes. Zayn blocked a kick, but Ohno landed a tilt-a-whirl back breaker. Zayn landed a flying head scissors and his own back breaker. Ohno connected with the Death Blow and locked in a camel clutch to win.

After the match, Kassius wasn't done. He stomped on Zayn some more.

Match 3. Extreme Rules - Samoa Joe vs. Austin Aries
At the opening bell, Aries landed a running heel kick. After a two count, Aries lifted Joe up for the brain buster. He then hit a back stabber and got another near fall. Joe brought in a chair and hit Aries a few times, including a leg drop. Aries recovered and hit a second brain buster onto the chair and won.

Match 4. Table - The Shield vs. The Brotherhood   WWE Tag Team Championship
From what I think, this shouldn't be an elimination match. Reigns and Cody each brought in a table. Goldust went to powerbomb Reigns through a table, but Rollins moved it out of the way. Cody hit Reigns with an Alabama Slam. Reigns speared Goldust from the top rope. Cody countered a DDT and put Reigns through a table with Cross Rhodes.

Match 5. Table - Triple H vs. Ryback
Ryback took Triple H down with a Thesz Press and then slammed his head against the mat multiple times. He then brought in a table. Triple H caught him with a running DDT. He went for the spine buster, but Ryback countered it. Triple H missed a spear through the table. Ryback connected with Shell Shock. He hit the Jackhammer and press slammed him through a table.

Match 6. Extreme Rules - Daniel Bryan vs. Batista
Batista tossed Bryan out of the ring. He then pulled out a baseball bat. He went for a clothesline, but Bryan countered into a snap slam. Batista landed a back suplex and tilt-a-whirl sidewalk slam. Bryan came back with his signature kicks. In the ring, Batista hit the spear and Batista Bomb to win.

After the match, Batista stomped on Bryan.

Main Event. Extreme Rules - AJ Styles vs. Sting   TNA Championship
Two titles changed hands already. Will there be a third? Sting was the aggressor in the early going. He slammed Styles' face against the outside mat. Sting grabbed a ladder, but Styles ducked and tossed Sting through the announce table. Sting came back and hit two Scorpion Death Drops. Styles made a comeback with rights and lefts before hitting the Pele kick. Sting kicked out and hit the Styles Clash to win!

Recap: A great PPV with multiple title changes. It was a good firth month of Year 2.
