Jack Swagger vs. Alberto Del Rio: I Quit Match

He blamed St. Louis and The Cardinals for allowed foreign born players to come here and then take their money back home. He said that when fans support them and Alberto Del Rio, it just proves they have given up on America. He promised Swagger would make Del Rio quit in two languages and send him back to Mexico.

Your winner, Alberto Del Rio!
Del Rio is now the number one contender to the World title.
Good match with some really vicious shots and good storytelling and brawling but they were really overbearing with the referee asking about submissions immediately to the point of ridiculousness. The instant replay deal come off unique but now if every screwy finish from this point on doesn't get overturned....

Thus far, a very eh show.
Big Show vs. Randy Orton: Extreme Rules
They went to the floor really early. Orton used a Singapore Cane. Show was thrashed with it but got it away and broke it. Then, he didn't use it as a weapon, because, well, it's WWE.
Orton grabbed another from under the ring and beat Show with it. Show got it and broke it again. Show worked him over by the announcers and went to ram Orton into the ringpost but Orton slipped behind him and shoved Show into the post.

Orton worked over Show and his hometown got really into it. He nailed the RKO for a two count. Orton continued working over Show but was caught with a spear. Orton came back with an RKO on the chair. Orton set up for the punt kick and nailed it. First time in a while he's done that move. Orton scored the pin.
Your winner, Randy Orton!
Orton was super over in his hometown and it was entertaining to watch him reacting to that. The match was OK but again, nothing really over the top amazing, which has been the theme here. For an Extreme show, it's been more pedestrian than anything else you'd expect. Just some weapons shots.
