The following matches have been announced for the WWE Extreme Rules pay-per-view, which takes place June 7 in New Orleans, La.

-Randy Orton vs. Batista in a cage match for the WWE Title.

-Edge vs. Jeff Hardy in a ladder match for the World Hvt. Championship.

-Rey Mysterio vs. Chris Jericho in a no holds barred match for the Intercontinental Title.

-John Cena vs. Big Show in a submission match.

-C.M. Punk vs. Umaga in a Samoan strap match.

-Santina vs. Vickie Guerrero in a hog pen match.

Powell's POV: Maybe they make stronger straps in Samoa? Anyway, this looks like a good show on paper (I'm ignoring the hog pen match). It's mostly a repeat of Judgment Day with stipulations added to the rematches. That said, most of the stipulations enhance the matches and leave me optimistic for this show.
