John Cena vs Baron Corbin

Cena started out the match laughing and putting on JBL’s hat outside the ring. Corbin then took control of the match early and was taunting Cena the entire time he was beating him down. Corbin leveled Cena with a Clothesline for a two count. Corbin got pissed off that Cena was able to kick out and started shouting in the ring.

Winner: John Cena

Reaction: Well, I don’t know what else to say besides Corbin is buried right now. He was embarrassed on Tuesday’s SmackDown and then lost via one Attitude Adjustment. I have no idea where Corbin goes from here. The match itself was alright, but the ending makes zero sense to me. I was expecting Corbin to attack Cena after the match, but instead he just tucked his tail between his legs and walked backstage. I don’t get it at all.

SmackDown Women’s Championship: Naomi (c) vs Natalya

Natalya slapped Naomi in the face to start off the match. Natalya then attacked Naomi in the corner and then slammed her to the mat.

Naomi went for the split-legged Moonsault but Natalya got her knees up. Natalya once again locked in the Sharpshooter for the submission victory.

Winner & New SmackDown Women’s Champion: Natalya

Reaction: This match started out slow but picked up towards the end. The crowd wasn’t really into this match and it is hard to blame them given the lackluster build this match had. Naomi’s SmackDown Championship run is over and it was a total disappointment. Time will tell how Natalya’s run with the title goes and when Carmella will cash in her MITB contract.

Big Cass vs Big Show (Enzo Amore suspended in shark cage above the ring)

Enzo cut a promo before the match. Big Show came down to the ring with a cast on the hand that Cass slammed the cage door on during Monday’s RAW.

Big Cass went for a big boot but Big Show connected with KO Punch but Cass kicked out at two. Big Show didn’t get much on the punch due to his hand injury. Cass booted Big Show on his injured hand and then punched Show’s hand several times. Big Show went to grab the middle rope but Cass once again booted Big Show’s hand.

The crowd chanted “boring” as Big Cass attacked Big Show’s hand for the next several minutes. Cass took a break to raise his fist in the air and taunt the disgruntled crowd. Big Show finally battled back and leveled Cass with a shoulder tackle. Big Show connected with a Splash in the corner and then planted Cass with a Chokeslam with his left hand for a two count.

Enzo took off his shirt in the cage and tossed it out of the cage. Enzo tried to slide between the bars in the cage. Enzo then took off hit shorts and was down to his boxers.

Cass then hit Big Show with a boot to the face but Big Show kicked out at two. Cass then connected with another boot to the face and hit the Empire Elbow for the pinfall victory.

Winner: Big Cass

Reaction: Enzo’s escape from the cage was entertaining, the rest of this match absolutely sucked. The entire first hour of SummerSlam has been mediocre at best. It is hard to understand why this match was on the main card of SummerSlam, but the Cruiserweight and SmackDown Tag Team Championship match was placed on the Kickoff Show.

RAW GM Kurt Angle was shown on the phone backstage. He told the person that he was talking to that he would call him back. SmackDown GM Daniel Bryan showed up and said the SmackDown WWE Championship is going to steal the show. Angle disagreed and stated that the Fatal 4-Way is going to be epic. Daniel Bryan said that he knows that SmackDown will put on the better show. Angle once again disagreed and said that RAW will put on the better matches tonight and started chanting “yes!”. Daniel Bryan chanted “no!” as the segment ended.

Randy Orton vs Rusev

Rusev attacked Orton before the match started and slammed Orton into the ring post. Rusev then picked Orton up and launched him into the barricade. The action returned to the ring and the referee rang the bell. Rusev charged at Orton but Randy moved out of the way and Rusev ran into the turnbuckle. Orton then planted Rusev with an RKO for the pinfall victory.

Winner: Randy Orton

Reaction: I couldn’t have cared any less about this match so I am glad it was short. I figured that Rusev would lose this match, I didn’t figure that he would lose in under 15 seconds.

Reaction: The crowd wasn’t into this match but Banks and Bliss put on a solid bout. I thought that Sasha Banks should have been in this match all along and I’m not surprised at all that Sasha is walking out of WWE SummerSlam as the RAW Women’s Champion.

Reaction: I thought this match was entertaining. The issue I had with it is that we just saw this match on RAW and Wyatt picked up the clean victory. It was pretty predictable that Balor would pick up the victory here. I hope that this feud is over now and that WWE has something planned for both of these talented Superstars after SummerSlam.
