Here are some live notes from Sunday night’s WWE Extreme Rules PPV from the IZOD Center in East Rutherford, New Jersey:
– The crowd was very rowdy in person. The biggest pops of the evening went to:
1) Paul Heyman & Cesaro, both of whom got a mix of cheers and boos. Cesaro is really getting over with good booking and Paul Heyman representing him.
2) Daniel Bryan, who still has very strong support from the WWE Universe
3) The child that ‘Followed the Buzzards’ at the end of John Cena vs. Bray Wyatt
4) The Shield
The superstars that drew the most negative heat:
1) John Cena, by a long shot. The crowd seemed to have fewer young fans than usual, which was definitely a factor.
2) Kane, especially the spot where he failed to throw the steel chair into the ring.
3) Batista, who got a lot of ‘Boo-tista’ heat.
