Yes, I'm basically a week late but I thought SummerSlam was ok, not better than last year's amazing show. I'm not going to go match by match but I just want to focus on the bigger moments of the show.
Well, Antonio Cesaro got his first taste of WWE gold in the form of the United States Championship. Sure, it's the lowest title he could have won, but it's a title! Is this the beginning of an amazing career for the young upstart? I hope so. I didn't see any of his work in ROH, but you all know I'm heel follower so I'm on the bandwagon. Maybe some matches against Christian or some other mid-carder would boost him up.
Jericho and Ziggler had a good match-up but it could haven been much better. Why would they only get 13 minutes? Why not give them 20? They deserved it. This could have been so much more but without the proper time, Ziggler and Jericho couldn't show the true potential of this match. Jericho wins here but Ziggler wins on Raw and takes Jericho out of the WWE. Worst comeback for him. He did do his job though. He managed to push Sheamus, Punk, and Ziggler ALL in one return so maybe it wasn't that bad of a comeback after all.
Sheamus screws Del Rio out of a match and now we get ANOTHER match between the two at Night of Champions. This is the Orton/Christian of 2012! Why do they keeping giving Del Rio shots when they have a guy like Rhodes just waiting to break out? The way Smackdown ended makes me believe a Fatal Four Way is coming but maybe not. I wonder who will face off in the Hell in a Cell in October? I mean, I know it's 2 months away but you gotta think of this stuff in ahead. Ziggler/Sheamus isn't HIAC calibur. I'll say it or type it I guess, until I'm blue in the face, they MUST MUST MUST do Wade Barrett VS Sheamus. This is the PERFECT feud to have in the HIAC. Hell, it's the perfect feud to have until 2013. Wade Barrett is going to get that push when he comes back so it's just a matter of time before we do see this match-up.
CM PUNK! His heel turn continues! And so does his going to be 10 MONTH title reign. Well, it's going to be coming to an end soon. Punk has challenged John Cena at Night of Champions for his WWE Championship, which is very bad for the 10 month reign champion. First and foremost, he's facing the face of the WWE for the biggest prize in the company. Second, CM Punk is now a heel. Third, he's had the belt for 10 months. 10 months. Fourth and probably most importantly, John Cena hasn't held the WWE Championship since October 2011. That's almost 11 months. That's blasphemy for WWE. Blasphemy! And lastly, Night of Champions takes place in Boston, right near Cena's hometown. Remember when Punk faced Cena in Chicago? You know, the match of the WWE PG era? Regardless, I'm looking forward to the match as it should be an absolute classic as these two guys have barely interacted with each other since 2011. I know Punk's reign is going to end. I just don't want it to be by Cena.
Lesnar beat Triple H as expected and now WWE teases that Triple H is going to retire from in-ring performance. It would be about time but I don't think The Game is done just yet. And now that Lesnar has his first victory since coming back, let the rumors begin of Taker/Lesnar. I'd rather see Taker/Cena but I think we'll have to wait until 2014 for that one. I think it's going to be Lesnar/Taker, Cena/Rock, Punk/Sheamus. Gotta have a 3rd one though, triple main events always happen. Maybe Punk/Rock, Cena/Taker, Lesnar/Sheamus? That would be better right? Especially Lesnar/Sheamus. I think the 3 main events at Wrestlemania are going to involve those six. CM Punk, John Cena, Sheamus, The Rock, Undertaker, and Brock Lesnar. Wow.
The future is bright for WWE. Antonio Cesaro is the US Champion, Miz is getting back to being relevant, Barrett is coming back soon, Sheamus is unstoppable, Punk is having an amazing reign as WWE Champion, Lesnar is still going to be around, and Rock will be back in four months. What I like right now is there are so many different options and storylines that could happen in the next months and it makes me excited to be a WWE fan. Who is going to be the one to stop the World Champion Sheamus? When will Punk become full on heel? What will Barrett do when he comes back? Where do some of the major FCW stars, such as Rollings, Ambrose, and Wyatt, fit in in all of this? I can't wait to see what WWE has in store for us in the future.
