Ranking WWE's top 5 best pay-per-views of 2016

#3 Extreme Rules (May 22, 2016)

Seth Rollins made his anticipated return from injury at Extreme Rules.

I might be a bit bias with this pick considering I was there in attendance, but Extreme Rules might go down as 2016's most underrated pay-per-view. While not every match carried an ‘extreme’ stipulation, there was a pair of memorable matches on the show that could be considered two of the best bouts of the year.

First up, we had a glorious Fatal 4-Way match for the Intercontinental Championship involving the likes of The Miz, Kevin Owens, Cesaro and Sami Zayn that tore the house down. Then, AJ Styles and Roman Reigns pushed each other to their absolute limits in their Extreme Rules WWE Championship match.

Elsewhere on the card, The Club beat The Usos in an enjoyable opener, while Rusev clinched his second United States Championship. The Women's Championship and Asylum matches prevented this pay-per-view from being perfect, but the good certainly outweighed the bad, especially with Seth Rollins' unannounced return closing out the night.
