Extreme Rules took over ECW Country as WWE presented another absolutely stacked card ahead of SummerSlam next month. Twelve matches took place as part of tonight's show, and whilst there were title changes and shocks aplenty, there were also a number of mistakes that many superstars were unable to cover.

WWE presented Extreme Rules just hours after AEW took over Jacksonville, Florida for Fight for the Fallen, and the show was a fantastic response to their biggest competition. Whilst WWE is now busy gearing up for the fallout episode of Raw, many WWE stars will be looking back at their Extreme Rules appearances and cringing when they realize that these botches made it to air.


#3 The Undertaker's tombstone

The Undertaker hasn't had a great few weeks following his match against Goldberg at Super ShowDown, and sadly Extreme Rules was his first match since the show and his first chance to prove the doubters wrong.

There were a number of small botches throughout the match which were expected with Shane McMahon and Undertaker in the ring, but McMahon falling over as he tried to drag The Deadman into the middle of the ring and then going on to botch a Tombstone were ones that couldn't be overlooked.

McMahon had to take the pin but as he ran in for the tombstone, either The Best in the World failed to jump or Undertaker couldn't lift him, but he was forced to drop him back onto the ground and then try again.

The fact that he then went for the move again straight after made it clear that this was another botch that could be added to Undertaker's list of in-ring mistakes from his last few appearances which date all the way back to Crown Jewel back in November.

#2 "Tony Gulak's" 450

Drew Gulak defended his Cruiserweight Championship on the Extreme Rules kick-off show against Tony Nese, but the former Champion was unable to reclaim his Championship even though he accidentally gave himself much more of a chance of winning when he botched a 450.

Nese usually lands the move in a splash position, but it appeared that he over-rotated the move and landed with his knees in Gulak's chest. It was something that the commentary team actually called him out on as part of the replay, which is where Nigel McGuiness called the former Champion Tony Gulak. McGuiness managed to correct himself but this seemed to just draw more attention to the fact that he had botched.

Luckily, Gulak was able to continue the match and went on to retain his Championship in the hopes that the Cruiserweight Championship won't be relegated to the kickoff show at SummerSlam.

#1 Becky Lynch's rebound

Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins took on Lacey Evans and Baron Corbin in the main event of Extreme Rules where they put both of their Championships on the line in the hope that they could overcome the mismatched team of Corbin and Evans one last time.

The match itself was an Extreme Rules matchup, which meant that weapons would definitely play a part in the match, but poor Becky Lynch ended up taking a shot that she wasn't supposed to.

Evans was on the outside and ran around to hit Evans in the mid-section with a chair, as she did The Sassy Southern Belle dropped her chair that she was holding, but instead of dropping it she threw it and it managed to hit Lynch in the face. Luckily, The Man no-sold it and continued with the planned spot, but it didn't look as painless as she made it feel.
