Two good WWE PPVs?

Another good WWE PPV. I'm shocked. I've gotten my money's worth TWO TIMES in a row? Can WWE do it a third time with Night of Champions? After tonight, I KNOW they can.



I DEFINITELY CALLED THIS MATCH! Go back into my blog posts and you will see! I knew Miz/Truth and Mysterio/Morrison were going to be in the match and I said it was either between Ziggler/Riley and Del Rio/Kingston so either way you look at it, I WAS RIGHT! This was a good match to open up the PPV. All the main mid card feuds in one match is a genius idea, hence why I called it. It was a standard tag match but it was definitely a smart idea on WWE's part. The faces get the win to get the crowd happy for the night ahead and to give Mysterio momentum for his title match in Raw, but it was a pretty solid show starter.



Sheamus/Henry actually had a good fight. I didn't think this match had much of a chance, but they proved me wrong. Back and forth action and neither guy was really hurt by the ending. The spot with the barricade was nice though and I loved seeing the security guard RUN for his life when he saw Henry/Sheamus coming at him. So Henry wins by count-out, continuing his path of destruction, but he doesn't beat Sheamus cleanly, so like I said, neither guy is hurt. Not a bad match!



Did I just see an OK Divas match? I think I did! Kelly Kelly and Beth put it down at SummerSlam! It wasn't the best Divas match, but it was much better than most of the crap they usually put on. Kelly beats Beth with a roll-up so I'm guessing we will be getting a rematch on Raw or something.



This is where the PPV started to spice up. Barrett/Bryan WENT IN on this match. A lot of nice sequences in the match and some nice looking moves. I loved the backbreaker Barrett did off the ropes. Bryan hit some rough moves on Barrett too, like his regular running knee off the apron and his dropkick. Great match and Barrett beats Bryan! Can the man get a World Title shot NOW? He basically defeated the future World Champion if you look at the MITB history right? Anyway, I knew that if they gave this match time, it would be amazing. Barrett/Bryan II with Bryan's briefcase on the line. Make it happen.



Well, the Orton/Christian V match was great and definitely match of the night. Nice amount of spots and there was actually some blood in it as well. Also, THE TABLE BROKE when Orton did the RKO on it! It had to be a good match. The power slam into the table was great as well. Anyway, Christian makes the same mistake he did in Orton/Christian I, but this time, he gets the RKO on the steel steps! Orton wins World Title #9 and guess what everyone? We'll probably gets Orton/Christian VI at Night of Champions! Well, if it's anything like their last match, I'm all for it, but that's highly unlikely. Maybe Henry or Barrett get title matches after their victories tonight. Especially Barrett.



Punk/Cena main event again, no surprise. Have another good match, no surprise. Have a lot of good reversal sequences, no surprise. The ending of the match? Surprise. Punk hits a botched GTS, pins Cena, Cena puts foot on rope, Triple H counts the 3, PUNK WINS AGAIN! And Triple H didn't reverse the decision! Thank God Mike Chioda didn't ref. Anyway, here's where I'm thinking Punk is about to get screwed by Triple H and then Del Rio will FINALLY win the WWE Title. Triple H raises Punk's hand and then leaves the arena. What? That's it? Nope! Here comes KEVIN NASH OUT OF NOWHERE! I already knew what comes next. Unfortunately, he didn't come out to the music, but he hits Punk with his kick and FINALLY WINS THE WWE TITLE! I've been waiting for a Del Rio World Title reign since freaking DECEMBER so even though I'm a huge Punk fan, I marked the heck out. Del Rio, while many may not believe it, deserved to walk out as champion. This storyline just got so much better. Why did Kevin Nash screw Punk? What's Stephanie's involvement in all this? Did Triple H know? Did Cena know? Do either one get a rematch? Will Del Rio get a new title belt? All these answers and more, in the coming weeks on Raw. Or not, they never explained why Barrett and Nexus attacked The Undertaker back at Survivor Series, but whatever.



So, another MITB winner cashes in and wins the title. Congrats to Alberto Del Rio for finally winning the big one. Here's pulling for Daniel Bryan! Great SummerSlam PPV, WWE improved from last year's card and they definitely opened it up for this whole Punk/Cena storyline. At least we won't get Punk/Cena III on PPV. Smackdown should REALLY take some notes.
