Christian vs. Alberto Del Rio (World Heavyweight Championship Ladder Match)

In one of the most stunning moments in WWE history, on the April 11 edition of Raw, Edge announced that he was retiring due to injury. Then, just days later on SmackDown, The Rated-R Superstar officially surrendered his title.
With the title vacant, SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long arranged for a No. 1 Contender�s World Heavyweight Championship Battle Royal. The winner would face Alberto Del Rio, who already earned a match with Edge at Extreme Rules by beating Christian in a No. 1 Contender's Match on the April 8 edition of SmackDown.
Surviving the 20-man war was none other than Edge�s lifelong friend, Christian, who eliminated Jack Swagger.
Clearly, Edge and Del Rio do not like each other. However, the disdain between Christian and The Mexican Aristocrat is downright palpable. After all, it was Del Rio who put Captain Charisma out of commission last fall with a torn pectoral muscle due to a session in his Cross Armbreaker.
Del Rio has continuously claimed that it is his destiny to win the World Title. However, what about Christian? Some would argue that he has been preparing his entire career for this moment. What would be more appropriate than following in the footsteps of his lifelong friend, The Ultimate Opportunist, in his specialty � a Ladder Match?
One thing is for certain. There will be a new World Heavyweight Champion crowned the night WWE goes extreme. Catch Extreme Rules live on Sunday, May 1 at 8 ET / 5 PT, only on pay-per-view.
