At WWE Extreme Rules, Edge and Finn Bálor faced off in an "I Quit" match.
Ever since they turned their backs on him, Edge has been on a crusade to destroy The Judgment Day. The WWE Hall of Famer returned to action two weeks ago, much to the surprise of The Judgment Day, who thought he was out of action after their beatdown of him resulted in a grade 2 MCL sprain. He would proceed to challenge Finn, who wants nothing more than to end Edge's career, to the "I Quit" match.
The match saw Finn utilize the numbers advantage, getting help from Damian Priest, Rhea Ripley, and Dominik Mysterio. Edge would have Rey Mysterio and Beth Phoenix come out and help him, but it wasn't until Rhea Ripley threatened a Con-Chair-To to a downed Beth that Edge finally surrendered. Ripley would still swing the chair, adding insult to injury.
A complete rundown of the action from the match can be seen below:
I Quit Match.
Edge vs. Finn Balor (w/ Rhea Ripley, Dominik Mysterio & Damien Priest)
The match began with the two staring daggers at each other before Edge leaned Balor into the corner and started laying in the strikes and a back elbow strike on Balor. Edge hit a swinging neck breaker on Balor before continuing to hit the punches on Balor. Edge slammed Balor into the corner with an Irish Whip and started leaning Balor's neck back before punching him and hitting another Irish Whip on Balor into the corner. Balor hit a shotgun dropkick on Edge's leg before stomping away on Edge's left knee. Balor locked in a rope-assisted knee lock on Edge before hitting a double-leg takedown on Edge. Balor got a twist on Edge's left knee before rolling Edge into the Figure Four Leg Lock on Edge. Edge flipped the Figure Four Leg Lock to turn it into a modified leg lock, but Balor turned Edge back into the Figure Four Leg Lock, but Edge hit three punches on Balor to break the hold. Outside of the ring, Balor trapped Edge in the apron before stomping away on Edge's head underneath the near. Balor hammered away with kicks on Edge before slamming his face repeatedly onto the broadcast table. Edge hit punches on Balor, but Balor responded with a sling blade on Edge onto the ringside floor. Edge picked Balor up before launching himself and Balor onto the barricade, landing on the timekeeper's area. Edge punched Balor before the two brawled across the audience area into the Pre-Show Panel. Edge hit a suplex on Balor onto the arena floor. Edge got away and hit Balro with a Hockey Stick in the head. Balor got in the Kick-off panel before locking in a hockey-stick assisted Crossface on Balor, but Balor pushed the stick and broke the hold. The two climbed the arena before the two made their way into a tunnel, with Balor slamming Edge into the walls. Edge launched Balor into the concrete overhead on the tunnel. Balor slammed Edge into the guard rail, with a random girl waving her hand to the camera as Edge was agonizing in pain. Balor got Edge in a Guard Rail-assisted headlock before he stomped him away and the two got further down the audience area. Balor hit Edge with a chair from the audience. Balor drank a beer from a fan before tossing Edge over the barricade back to the ringside area. Balor got a chair and hit Edge with it on his ribs, sending Edge back into the ring. Balor got back in the ring and hit Edge with the edge of the chair. Balor unloaded with chair shots on Edge, but Edge said that does not quit. Balor placed a chair in between the top & middle turnbuckle and tried to launch Edge into the chair, but Edge hit a forearm strike to block the hold. Balor hit a Russian Leg Sweep before Balor locked in an Octopus Hold on Edge before transitioning into a LaBelle Lock on Edge. Balor striked down Edge before trying to toss him into the chair in the corner, but Edge instead tossed Edge into the chair. Edge got the vent chair and started targeting Balor's left leg with the chair before locking in the Edge-ucator on Balor, but Damian Priest came in to interrupt Edge. Edge sent Priest outside of the ring before hitting a spear through the middle rope on Balor onto Priest and a wild Dominik Mysterio. Back in the ring, Edge tried to hit the spear on Balor but Rhea Ripley came from behind and handcuffed Edge onto the top rope. Balor, Dominik & Priest got back in the ring and started to attack Edge. Balor got two Kendo Sticks and fired away at Edge with one of the Kendi Sticks on his back. Rey Mysterio came to the ring fo the save, hitting a crossbody on Balor & an inverted 619 in Priest, but Dominik shockingly clubbed Rey with a forearm strike before tossing him into the ring post. Dominik started to stomp away at Rey Mysterio's head before Balro attacked Edge's knee with the Kendo Stick. Beth Phoenix got the Kendo Stick and started to attack Balor & Priest with the Kendo stick before confronting Rhea Ripley in the ring. Ripley and Phoenix exchanged strikes before Phoenix hit a spear on Ripley, retrieving the keys to the handcuffs and freeing him. Edge hit a spear on Priest before confronting Dominik. Dominik tried to shake Edge's hand, but Edge instead hit a low blow on Dominik. From behind, Balor hit a sling blade on Edge and went for a shotgun dropkick, but Edge hit a spear on Balor. Edge hit two more spears on Balor before telling Phoenix to get a chair. Ripley attacked Phoenix with the Brass Knuckles, which allowed Priest to hit the South of Heaven Chokeslam and Balor to hit Three Coup de Graces on Edge. Balor told Edge to say that he quit, but Edge instead told him to go to hell. In response to Edge's answer, Ripley got two chairs and went to hit a Con-chair-to on his wife Phoenix. To stop Ripley, Edge had no choice but to say "I Quit", awarding Balor the win. Despite Edge saying the words, Ripley still slammed Phoenix with the chair to the head. Rey Mysterio, Petey Williams, and more referees came to the ring to assist with Phoenix's unconscious body as Balor & The Judgement Day stood tall on the ramp.
Winner: Finn Balor (w/ Dominik Mysterio, Rhea Ripley & Damian Priest)
