WWE Extreme Rules 2017: 5 surprising moments from Extreme Rules

I am ready for Great Balls of Fire!

#3 That tag team finish

What advantage was gained by leaving early, Jeff?

I was happy to see that no pinfalls would win the Tag Team Title match. That always annoyed me and seemed to defeat the point of having a steel cage. It was a standard cage match with the really expected dumb jump from the top of the cage from Jeff Hardy. Oh, Jeff, will you ever learn to stop doing silly things?

They didn’t really bother to explain the bizarre match winning rule that both team members had to escape the cage. That left the strange sight of Jeff watching on the outside as Matt got beat up. That doesn’t seem to get any real advantage to leaving first, right?

The ending was a very surprising and weird finish, to say the least. Jeff “re-entered” the match and had to be dragged out by his brother. It set up a weird sight where Sheamus and Cesaro had to slowly climb down the cage to time it better with Matt Hardy.

It didn’t look quite right and likely made little sense to the audience that didn’t know the unusual rules of this cage match.
