John Cena
Cena was the WWE Champion at the time and won his match against Batista, which was a Last Man Standing match. He would compete in WWE on a full-time schedule for the next eight years before shifting his focus on movies. However, he did compete at WrestleMania 36 last year, losing to Bray Wyatt in a Firefly Funhouse match.
Batista
Batista, (better known as Dave Bautista) left WWE in 2014 to focus on movies as well. He returned to WWE in2018 for SmackDown's 1,000th episode and competed in WrestleMania 35 the following year, facing Triple H. Bautista has been featured in a number of big films including Guardians of the Galaxy, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame.
Edge
Edge defeated Chris Jericho in a steel cage match at Extreme Rules in 2010. He was forced to retire in 2011 due to a neck injury but returned in January to compete in this year's Royal Rumble. Edge also competed in WrestleMania 36 and Backlash where he tore his tricep. It's unclear when he'll return to the ring.
Chris Jericho
Not too long after Extreme Rules, Jericho left WWE to spend time with his band Fozzy. He came back in 2011 and would compete in WWE for the next seven years before heading to Japan. Last year, Jericho joined AEW and became the company's first world champion. He lost the title to Jon Moxley earlier this year.
Sheamus
Sheamus was in the early stages of his career at this time, but made an immediate impact, winning the WWE Champion in 2009 and again shortly after Extreme Rules. Sheamus continues to be one of the top stars in the company as is an Intercontinental Championship win away from being a Grand Slam Champion.
CM Punk
Punk emerged as one of the most controversial and beloved Superstars as he wasn't afraid to speak his mind. His "pipebomb" promo in 2011 is considered one of the most important moments in pro wrestling history. Punk retired from wrestling in 2014 and took part in MMA before moving on in 2018. He recently appeared on the FS1 show WWE Backstage before it was canceled.
Kofi Kingston
Kingston was in the early stages of his career at the time. He defeated Dolph Ziggler at Extreme Rules and has gone on to have a Hall of Fame career. Last year Kingston defeated Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania 35 to become the first WWE Champion that was born in Africa. The win also made Kingston a Grand Slam Champion in WWE. Kingston has been a member of The New Day for six years and is currently SmackDown Tag Team Champions with Big E.
