10. Extreme Rules

Extreme Rules is one of the most anticipated events of the year. The stipulations usually mean we get hardcore, spot heavy matches which are a good throwback to the ECW days. But Extreme Rules 2018 didn't have much extreme.

There were 10 matches on the main card, out of which only 3 had stipulations. But only 1 had an extreme stipulation - a 7-minute bout between Alexa Bliss and Nia Jax. Kevin Owens faced Braun Strowman inside a steel cage and Seth Rollins faced Dolph Ziggler in the main event in a 30 minute Iron Man match.

Most matches weren't memorable and were normal matches instead of Extreme ones. Critics heavily panned the lack of Extreme Matches on the show. The only Extreme Match, between Nia Jax and Alexa Bliss, was lackluster. Rusev also received a WWE Title shot at this event which was long overdue.

Ziggler and Rollins' main event was completely ruined when the crowd kept doing the Royal Rumble Countdown for every minute on the clock. Roman Reigns lost to Bobby Lashley at the event, while Shinsuke Nakamura and The B-Team became the United States and Raw Tag Team Champions respectively.

The event was very forgettable and had no match that was talked about for any amount of time. One of the more fun parts of the event was the reunion of Team Hell No as Kane and Daniel Bryan took on The Bludgeon Brothers in a losing effort. The biggest spot of the event came when Braun Strowman threw Kevin Owens from top of the steel cage through the announce table.
