#8) Joe vs. Wyatt vs. Balor vs Reigns vs. Rollins – 29 mins 15 secs
The absence of Brock Lesnar, which meant the absence of the Universal Championship, didn’t matter all too much at Extreme Rules. Why? Because instead, we were treated to a thrilling fatal-five-way number one contender’s match in which Raw’s finest fought for the right to take on The Beast at Great Balls of Fire.
It went on for nearly 30 minutes with several mini-storylines helping to build the intensity of the showdown, with Samoa Joe eventually coming out on top. It was the perfect way to make the Universal title feel even more special because these guys were killing themselves just for the chance to get a shot at taking down Lesnar.
