WWE: Ranking Every PPV from 2016

3. Extreme Rules

Yes, the PPV with the Asylum match has cracked our top three. I know, I know, it was awful. But at least it supplied us with Jericho yelling about having 69 tacks in his back for the better part of a month. But aside from this slow-paced contest, Extreme Rules was an extremely good PPV, pun absolutely intended.

Extreme Rules featured another match of the year candidate in the form of a fatal 4 way for the Intercontinental Championship. The Miz, Cesaro, Kevin Owens, and Sami Zayn put on a clinic for nearly 20 minutes as they fought for one of the most coveted titles in WWE. While many may not have been thrilled by Miz retaining, there was no questioning the quality of the match on the whole. And that should be no surprise given the pedigree of the four performers in it.

Then there was the main event that saw Roman Reigns take on AJ Styles for the second time. The two men one-upped their previous match and further proved that Reigns is an underrated worker while Styles may be the best in the world. After Reigns ultimately retained, Seth Rollins made his long-awaited return and pedigreed Reigns, making his title aspirations known. His huge return capped off a great night of wrestling and made fans very optimistic looking forward, thus making Extreme Rules one of the best PPVs of the year.
