If you ask anybody in the world that which was the best main event of Extreme Rules PPV in history, i’m damn sure that you’ll get the answer Brock vs Cena because this match was so brutal and bloody that PG Era Viewers never witnessed a match like this.
Lesnar busted Cena’s head wide open with blood coating Cena’s face. The match that followed set a new precedent for mixing the MMA style with professional wrestling. Chairs, tables, barricades, and a chain all came into play in this fight. Lesnar even painted his chest with Cena’s blood as a trophy.
However, Cena won this brutal match by performing Attitude Adjustment on Lesnar into Steel Steps for the pin.
