WWE Extreme Rules 2011 Live Here

Extreme Rules 2011 is an upcoming professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by WWE, which will take place on May 1, 2011 at the St. Pete Times Forum in Tampa, Florida. It will be the third Extreme Rules event. Currently, there are three matches scheduled for the event.

Edge was originally scheduled to defend his World Heavyweight Championship against Alberto Del Rio in a ladder match. However, due to Edge having to retire on the April 11 episode of Raw due to being diagnosed with spinal stenosis due to previously sustained injuries, Edge vacated the World Heavyweight Championship and the match was cancelled.

On the April 11th edition of Monday Night Raw there was a 5-man gauntlet match which would decide the number one contender to face The Miz for the WWE Championship. This match featured John Cena, Randy Orton, John Morrison, R-Truth and Dolph Ziggler. The last two men in the final round were John Cena and R-Truth. After an interference from The Miz and Alex Riley the match was resulted in a double disqualification, which would then lead to the anonymous Raw general manager stating that both John Cena and R-Truth would compete for the WWE Championship against The Miz in a triple threat match.
