WWE Extreme Rules 2021: Ranking and grading every match

#5 Damian Priest vs. Sheamus vs. Jeff Hardy for the United States Championship

The action in this triple threat match at Extreme Rules kicked off immediately, as Sheamus booted Jeff Hardy out of the ring as soon as the bell rang. It only increased as the bout went on. Damian Priest had a good night, as he delivered his own hard-hitting offense. He even busted out a flip over the top rope, on both opponents.

Hardy was the crowd favorite and nearly pulled off the victory with a Swanton Bomb on both Priest and Sheamus, but he couldn't go for the cover. He eventually lost out when The Archer of Infamy rolled The Celtic Warrior up to retain his title.

All three men contributed equally in making this an entertaining contest, although it could have done with some more brutal spots. This was at Extreme Rules, after all.

Grade: B+

#4 Charlotte Flair vs. Alexa Bliss for the RAW Women's Championship - WWE Extreme Rules

Alexa Bliss was ridiculously over at Extreme Rules, as she challenged WWE's Queen for her crown. Charlotte Flair brought her A-game here, as she and Bliss put on a great title match. The challenger's gimmick did not affect the quality of it, while she showcased her ever-improving in-ring skills.

Flair used her power multiple times during the match, while also hitting a double moonsault just like Andrade. Meanwhile, Alexa Bliss came close with a DDT. The two traded roll-up attempts for a while before The Queen took control.

The RAW Women's Champion pinned Bliss with Natural Selection and then proceeded to tear Lilly the doll apart. Luckily for the match, these shenanigans came after it.

Grade: A-
