This in my mind, was a good ppv, but the cover had a terrible screen shot of the brawl between team Cena and team Nexus. But thanks for reading and please rate!

Intercontinental Title
Dolph Ziggler vs. Kofi Kingston
This had the potential to be a good match, but everyone knew that this wasn’t going to go down a good road. This match was just ruined by Nexus beating the living Day Lights out of Ziggler and Kingston telling Team Cena they are ready for the main event. 2/5

Divas Title
Melina vs. Alica Fox
So far, why do i even bother writing a review for this ppv, this ppv wasn’t having a good start to it, which kind of dissapointed me. But, the only good thing about this was seeing Ziggler get beatdown by Nexus, and Melina winning the Divas title for the freaking second time. 1/5

3-on-1 Handicap match
Big Show vs. S.E.S(CM Punk, Joey Mercurey, and Luke Gallows)
Well, this match was another waste of time. This is how they were buring Punk first by making S.E.S disband, and then never winning once against the big slow. i mean, the nexus did a better job of beating the living blubber out of Show on smackdown for god sakes. This match had nothing special at all, except for of course domination from show. 2/5

WWE Title-If Orton Lost he would not get a rematch, if anyone interferred, they would be suspended idefinatly
Sheamus vs. Randy Orton
This, right here, was a great match. It actually turned out better than i thought it would be. This had great, never ending action. But this had a really retarted ending to it. For Sheamus to get DQed and for him to get off easy, but you think he did, very very false. After the match, Orton gave Sheamus one of the biggest RKO’s ive seen this year on the announce table. 4.75/5

World Title
Kane vs. Rey Mysterio
This had the potential to be a good match, like their encounters in 08′. But it was short, sweet, and to the point. Especially for Undertaker getting hurt at wrestlemania, and returning at Summerslam 2 years in a row. But, this was almost even the entire match, until Kane won and and then Tombstoned Taker into next week, which made me very made by the way. 3.75/5

7-on-7 Tag Team Elimination match
Team WWE(Cena, Morrison, Truth, Hart, Edge, Jericho, and Bryan) vs. Team Nexus(Barrett, Otunga, Slater, Tarver, Sheffield, Young, and Gabriel)
This of course was the best match on the card. Over 35 minuets of awesome, and the huge return of Daniel Bryan, and the nice brawl before the match even started. One thing i did think was wrong with this match, elminations went really quickly, after one elimination, another elimination came after that about a minuet later. But, of course it came down to the biggest stars, Gabriel, Barrett(Nexus), and Bryan, and Cena(WWE), but of course, Cena Would wint he match for his team, which made me POed because the really needed for Bryan to win for his team because it was his return. 5/5

So, overall, now that i have looked at it, this was a average ppv, with only about 2 or 3 good matches on it. Thanks for reading.

D.P. (California) –

  

Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler vs. Kofi Kingston – What a difference a year makes as last year, Dolph walked into the opening match at SummerSlam as the challenger for the Intercontinental Championship & this year he walks in as the champion along with Vickie Guerrero on his shoulder. Kofi started out strong & aggressive before Dolph had the upper hand early on in the match that went back & forth between both men…before Nexus came & took out both men before addressing the crowd about their match later on that night. This wasn’t necessary at all & they reduced this match to nothing more than a backdrop to plug their main event match…the same main event match that people had currently payed to see later in the night so this could have just been a backstage interview & killed the match before it had a chance to pick up.

Divas Champion Alicia Fox vs. Melina – Before the match got started, Melina returned to her hometown of Los Angeles with quite an interesting outfit. Melina showcased some unique offense during this match than we usually don’t get from divas action like a sliding ankle takedown & a double knee drop on Fox’s stomach…who was drapped on the corner of the middle ropes. There was a point where Melina looked like she reinjured her knee only for Fox to attempt to work over the arm but to no avail as Melina regained the championship…only for the final image being the same as the previous match, the last people standing where those who weren’t involved in the match. Overall, I saw this as a “Melina” showcase more than anything else.

Big Show vs. Straight Edge Society (C.M. Punk, Luke Gallous, Joseph Mercury) – Before I get started, old school wrestling fans will get a chuckle out of the Greg Valentine reference Matt Striker pointed out in regards to Punk’s t-shirt. This was a 3 on 1 handicap match with the twist on the rules being that it was tornado tag rules so all the members of the S.E.S. were allowed in the ring at the same time. In a nutshell, this was a dominate performance by Big Show as he showed that his injured hand was healed and easily took care of Gallous & Mercury in the beginning before he rehurt his hand missing a chop on Punk & hitting the ringside steps. S.E.S. was able to work over Show for a small time but Show was able to still recover & dominate his way to a victory with possibly the biggest story being where Punk was with Serena when Gallous & Mercury were at the mercy of Show.

WWE Champion Sheamus vs. Randy Orton – The rematch from the Rumble earlier this year with the stipulations being that anyone who interfered would be suspended while this would be Orton’s only title match. This started out with Orton being very physical & dominate in the early stages before he hurt his shoulder going into the ringside steps (nobody is having luck with those steps this night) which allowed Sheamus to regain control. This was a match that picked up the pace overtime with momentum alternating between both men including both men being able to either counter their signature moves like Sheamus finding a counter for the RKO. Unfortunally, Sheamus used his championship advantage to retain his title which errupted into a huge brawl after the match that had Sheamus take an RKO on the announcetable…that didn’t break or give at all unlike how they normally do. This was definately better than their previous Rumble match and did enough to make me want to see another encounter.

World Champion Kane vs. Rey Mysterio – Aside from this being a World Championship match, both men accused each other of being the person who attacked Undertaker months earlier & Kane came out to the ring with the casket that he has been with for several weeks with the promise that he would stuff Rey in that casket. As you would expect whenever Mysterio goes against someone who his heavily larger than him or for anyone who remembers their series back in 2008, they used the “David vs. Goliath” formula where Rey used his speed & smaller height to his advantage which helped him at times be able to counter Kane’s moves such as an attempted slam into a tilt-a-wirl DDT but this was mostly a dominate performance by Kane who heavily worked over Rey’s back by using the ringpost to ram his back into either on the outside or the ringside of the ring via a baseball slide along with various bearhugs & even a jumping sidewalk slam on his way to victory. The crowd was really quiet throughout the entire encounter with the only heavy reaction happened after the match where Kane kept punishing Rey so he could get him in the casket before everyone saw it was already occupied & finding out just who was guilty of doing the crime that both men were accusing each other to doing going into this match.

Elimination Match: John Cena, Bret Hart, John Morrison, R-Truth, Edge, Chris Jericho, ? vs. Nexus – The whole mystery throughout the night was who would replace…
