Quality not quantity is the phrase we always hear. The WWE is seems to be trying to deliver that at this year's Summerslam. Summerslam is the second biggest PPV, second only to Wrestlemania, and to date there are only five matches scheduled. Some of the more popular wrestlers are left off the card. Wrestlers like the Miz, Rey Mysterio, Dolph Ziggler, Alex Riley and Alberto Del Rio.
First Match: Daniel Bryan vs Wade Barrett. This match was added late and, to me, is a throw in match. Bryan will win so people can see how good he is. He is the money in the bank winner and i know he said he is waiting until Wrestlemania to cash it in, but maybe with not many matches on the card he will change his mind and go after the winner of Orton vs Christian. Unlikely, but the option is there.
Second match: Diva Championship. Kelly Kelly vs Beth Phoenix. Not real interested in this one. I think Kelly Kelly will win and hang on to her title. There is no real reason to take the title away from her. Beth Phoenix may be the better wrestler of the two, but i see no advantage to having her beat Kelly Kelly.
Third match: Mark Henry vs Sheamus. This will be a brawl. Two heavyweights going at it. This is to complete Sheamus' turn. His turn from heel to face. Sheamus will become a fan favorite by beating the man that nobody wants to wrestle. For weeks Mark Henry has been injuring wrestlers. Wrestlers like Kane and the Big Show. Sheamus will win and give him a push for the title.
Fourth Match: World Heavyweight Championship: Randy Orton vs Christian. There should be no reason why Christian doesn't leave Summerslam with the World Title. Why give him the title if you weren't going to let him keep it. What makes matters worse is that Christian didn't even win the belt in typical fashion. He won the belt by a DQ. This match will prove that Christian belongs and deserves to be champion. Plus, if Sheamus wins like I expect him to it will set up a Sheamus vs Christian feud. This will be a great match between two great athletes.
Fifth Match: WWE Championship: CM Punk vs John Cena. If this was a match straight up and was determined by who the best wrestler was, CM Punk would win hands down. However, there are many things to consider. For instance, HHH has named himself special guest referee. There has been talk of HHH vs CM Punk. That would be awesome to see. Both are doing great on the mic, by insulting each other. It has been rumored that they could lock up as soon as Survivor Series. I would rather see the match at Wrestlemania. On the other hand, Cena is the WWE's cash cow and a guy that brings in the money that he does gets the belt.
Another thing to consider is the health of John Cena. The WWE is going to want him 100% healthy for him match at Wrestlemania vs the Rock. They could have him lose the match to CM Punk. Have him get injured, take a couple months off and come back at royal rumble in January ready to go.
This match should end in one of two ways. First, Punk should win clean over Cena. Better wrestler, better on the mic as this past month and a half have shown. His popularity is up and the WWE should ride him while he is hot. Plus, Mysterio is set to face the champion in his hometown of San Diego the Raw following Summerslam.
The second ending, should be that HHH screws Punk, allowing Cena to win. Then, Alberto Del Rio should come and cash in his case and beat Cena. This sets up a Del Rio vs Mysterio, heel vs face. Also, sets up the HHH vs Punk. As Punk would want revenge on HHH for costing him the title.
Should be a good show as the WWE always puts on a good show for its fans. Can't wait for tomorrow.
