10 Best Matches in WWE Extreme Rules History

#3 Sheamus(c) vs Daniel Bryan - 2 out of 3 Falls match for World Heavyweight Title (2012)

Now, this is what you expect from two superstars who are as talented and smooth in the ring as Daniel Bryan and Sheamus, not the horrendous, joke of a contest that we got to witness between the two at WrestleMania XXVIII. Daniel Bryan's slow brewing heel turn also added more buzz and animosity to this rivalry.

Extreme Rules 2012 is one of the best WWE pay per view of all time, and this match is a big part of its success. Unarguably the best pure technical match from this decade, this match stole the show on a night that had CM Punk and Chris Jericho tear each other apart and had Brock Lesnar's first WWE match in 8 years.

The 2-out-of-3 falls stipulations played really well, for the vile challenger as he deliberately lost the first fall by disqualification before making the champion pass out on his submission move to level the score. The last 5 minutes were as thrilling as a 'Mania main event, as Sheamus made a herculean style comeback to dispatch Bryan and win this instant classic.
