Extreme Rules (2011)
The 2011 Extreme Rules was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by WWE. It was the third annual Extreme Rules event and took place on May 1, 2011, at the St. Pete Times Forum in Tampa, Florida, held for wrestlers from the promotion's Raw and SmackDown brand divisions. The theme of the event was that it featured various hardcore-based matches.
The event's card consisted of eight matches, seven of which were contested under a hardcore stipulation, and there was also one dark match that occurred before the live broadcast. The main event saw John Cena defeat defending champion The Miz and John Morrison in a Triple Threat Steel Cage match to win Raw's WWE Championship. In the other main promoted matches, Christian defeated Alberto Del Rio in a ladder match to win SmackDown's vacant World Heavyweight Championship, Kofi Kingston defeated Sheamus in a tables match to win SmackDown's United States Championship, and in the opening bout, Randy Orton defeated CM Punk in a Last Man Standing match.
The event received 209,000 pay-per-view buys, up from last year's event of 182,000 buys. This was the second Extreme Rules event to not feature the titular Extreme Rules match after the inaugural 2009 event. It was also notable for the WWE debut of Kharma, formerly known as Awesome Kong in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. This was WWE's first PPV event to be held in Tampa since Survivor Series in 2000. It was the last Extreme Rules held under the first brand extension, which ended in August but was reinstated in July 2016. It was also the company's first PPV event to be promoted under its shortened trade name of WWE, as following WrestleMania XXVII the previous month, the company ceased using its full name of World Wrestling Entertainment, although that remains the legal name of the company.
Extreme Rules was an annual professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by WWE since 2009. The concept of the event was that it featured various matches that were contested under hardcore rules and generally featured one Extreme Rules match. The defunct Extreme Championship Wrestling promotion, which WWE acquired in 2003, originally used the "extreme rules" term to describe the regulations for all of its matches; WWE adopted the term, using it in place of "hardcore match" or "hardcore rules". The third Extreme Rules event was scheduled for May 1, 2011, at the St. Pete Times Forum in Tampa, Florida and featured wrestlers from the Raw and SmackDown brands. Tickets went on sale on December 18, 2010.

The professional wrestling matches at Extreme Rules involved professional wrestlers performing as characters in scripted events pre-determined by the hosting promotion, WWE. Results were predetermined by WWE's writers on the Raw and SmackDown brands, while storylines were produced on WWE's weekly television shows, Raw and SmackDown.
Edge was originally scheduled to defend his World Heavyweight Championship against Alberto Del Rio in a ladder match. However, Edge retired on the April 11 episode of Raw due to a cervical spinal stenosis stemming from his neck injury. The match was scrapped and the title was vacated on the April 15 episode of SmackDown. Later, Edge's best friend, Christian, won a 20-man battle royal to face Del Rio in the ladder match for the title. In the interim, Del Rio was drafted to Raw in the 2011 WWE Draft.
On the April 11 episode of Raw, John Cena, Randy Orton, John Morrison, Dolph Ziggler, and R-Truth fought in a gauntlet match to determine the number one contender for The Miz's WWE Championship. Cena and Truth became the last two men remaining, but were attacked by The Miz and his protégé Alex Riley, resulting in a double disqualification. Afterwards, the anonymous Raw general manager announced that The Miz would defend his title against Cena and Truth at Extreme Rules, with the match later scheduled to be contested in a steel cage. The following week, Morrison (who had been eliminated by Truth in the gauntlet match) confronted Truth about his capability of competing in the match and challenged him to a match for his spot, which Truth accepted. Morrison won, thus replacing Truth at Extreme Rules. Truth then turned heel by viciously attacking Morrison afterwards, then lighting a cigarette and blowing smoke into Morrison's face.
