's decision, making Cole the winner via disqualification. At Extreme Rules
, Michael Cole teamed up with Jack Swagger to face and defeat Jerry Lawler and Jim Ross
in a tag team Country Whipping match after Cole pinned Jim Ross. On the May 9 edition of Raw, Lawler challenged Cole to another match with a stipulation that Lawler would give him his Hall of Fame Ring and, should Cole be honored, personally induct him into the WWE Hall of Fame
. After an altercation, Jack Swagger agreed to the match on behalf of Michael Cole. A contract signing for the match took place on the May 16th edition of Raw where it was revealed after the contract was signed that the match is also going to be a "Kiss My Foot" match, where the loser must kiss the winner's feet.
Another feud from the SmackDown brand involved former allies Intercontinental Champion
Wade Barrett
, and the rest of The Corre
, against Ezekiel Jackson. At Extreme Rules, Wade Barrett and Ezekiel Jackson faced the WWE Tag Team Champions

Later that night, his former teammates Heath Slater, Justin Gabriel and Wade Barrett attacked him in the locker room. On the May 13 edition of SmackDown, Wade Barrett challenged Ezekiel Jackson to a match at Over the Limit for the Intercontinental Championship
.
Another feud from the Raw brand involved R-Truth
and Rey Mysterio. On the May 9th edition of Raw, Rey Mysterio and R-Truth, along with The Miz and Alberto del Rio had a confrontation as to who will challenge WWE Champion
John Cena
for his title next. The anonymous Raw General Manager, however, announced that only Rey Mysterio, Alberto del Rio and The Miz were to compete for the number 1 contender-ship in a Triple Threat match. R-Truth still believes that he is better than the other three, especially Rey Mysterio. After the Triple Threat match, he attacks Rey Mysterio in the ring. On the May 16th edition of Raw, R-Truth announced that he will face Rey Mysterio at Over the Limit.
On the May 16th edition of Raw, it was announced that the WWE Tag Team Champions

On the May 20th edition of SmackDown, it was announced that Brie Bella
will defend her WWE Divas Championship
against Kelly Kelly at Over the Limit. On the same night, Chavo Guerrero
announced that he will face Sin Cara
.
The Smackdown main event and both wrestlers involved were highly praised, being described as "a tremendous match that will no doubt gain universal praise" and that "Christian has developed into a very accomplished wrestler, and Orton is arguably the best all rounder in the game right now, so a cracking match was not a surprise".
The opening bout between Rey Mysterio vs R Truth was mentioned as being "a satisfactory opening match" and adding that "R-Truth entering the arena to no music — another nice touch in the development in Ron Killings' new heel persona".
Sin Cara beat Chavo Guerrero in what was "virtually a showcase match for the former Mistico, but once again the masked Mexican failed to truly shine, making a hash of the finish".
Wade Barrett vs Ezekiel Jackson for the WWE Intercontinental Championship received mixed reviews "This big man bout was perhaps slightly better than expected before the disappointing and uninspired run-in by Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel meant that Barrett retained the strap via DQ".
The match between Jerry Lawler and Michael Cole was mixed, but Jim Ross and Bret Hart's appearances were praised by critics.
The Sun awarded WWE Over the Limit 2011 8 out of 10.
