#6 The New Day vs. Bobby Lashley, AJ Styles, and Omos - WWE Extreme Rules
WWE made this six-man tag team match on the Extreme Rules Kickoff Show, following some backstage animosity between the two sides. This was a showcase for The New Day, as they opened up the event with a solid win. The action was great, with all superstars looking good.
Big E was particularly impressive here, leading The New Day's comeback after a lengthy period of dominance from AJ Styles, Omos, and Bobby Lashley. Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston complemented the WWE Champion perfectly, as he picked up the win over Lashley after he accidentally speared Styles.
The best part of this match was how hot the crowd was, particularly towards Big E. He looked smart during the finish too, avoiding the heels' trickery before pinning The All Mighty.
The fact that this match is at the bottom of this list shows how good of a pay-per-view Extreme Rules was.
