During the Summerslam card run down, Shawn Michaels was making shadow puppets. HBK pressed a button and broke it. Before he was a chef, he was a TV repair man, so he fixed it – but he failed. This opening skit is just proof there will be no heel turn.

- Intercontinental Championship: Rey Mysterio vs. Dolph Ziggler

Dolph’s got to win here, or any momentum he had really is over. Ziggler has the advantage early on, being more aggressive and going for pins. Rey was springboarded onto the top rope and then moonsaulted onto Dolph. Real cool spot.

Rey hurricanranaed Dolph from the apron. Ziggler caught Rey coming off the top rope and powerbombed him onto the top turnbuckle. Ziggler is working over Mysterio’s neck. Rey tried to make a comeback, but Dolph drilled him with a clothesline.

Gutbuster by Dolph Ziggler. Another pin and another 2 count. Todd told a story about Rey’s tattoo on the side of his body. It’s one of fan’s prayers, it touched him so much. Rey springboarded off the middle rope but was met with Ziggler’s dropkick.

Rey was going through the middle rope when Ziggler booted him in the head. Ziggler had Rey on his shoulders, and as he tried the gutbuster, Rey turned it into a hurricanrana. Mysterio got the pin for the win.

Winner: Rey Mysterio

Real good match. Much better than their Night of Champions match, and easily Dolph Ziggler’s best match to date. He should have won, though.

Jack Swagger and MVP join Josh Matthews. Swagger praised himself and ripped on MVP’s past as an ex-con. MVP cut a great promo on his past and these two’s culture clash.

- Jack Swagger vs. MVP

Michael Cole put this match over as a match that the winner could be a shot to superstardom.

Swagger shot in for a takedown, but MVP countered it into a roll up. MVP went for the ballin elbow early, but Swagger rolled out. MVP dived onto him on the outside. Swagger swept MVP off the second rope and took control of the match.

Swagger was extremely quick in ducking a MVP punch and turned it into a abdominal stretch. Crowd isn’t as into this match as much as they were for the opener. Nether of these guys are stars to them.

Electric chair by MVP onto Swagger. MVP set Swagger up for the ballin elbow and hit it. Swagger countered the playmaker and rammed MVP into the corner. MVP got his knees up for the running Vader Bomb. Playmaker.

Winner: MVP

Not a poor match, but isn’t anything special. Hooly said Swagger should be moved to Smackdown, I totally agree.

Luke Perry is in the crowd. Video recapping past guest hosts of Raw. Nancy O’Dell was in the crowd. Freddie Prince Jr. is in the crowd, too. She interviewed him, nothing of note. I still can’t believe how much he has aged.

- Unified Tag Team Championships: Chris Jericho & Big Show vs. Cryme Tyme

Chris Jericho grabbed the mic and ripped into celebrities. Someone has a RVD Sucks sign. Haha. Cryme Tyme interrupted Big Show as he was about to talk. JTG and Jericho started and had a nice exchange. Jericho went for the walls of Jericho, but JTG put an end to that.

Big Show tagged in and got a face reaction of all things. Big Show has a side headlock on JTG. Show and Shad are going at it. Shad tried to know Show down, but couldn’t. Shad press slammed Jericho, but was hit with a shoulder tackle by Show.

Shad was cornered by Jerishow. JTG made the hot tag but no one cared. I’m all for Jericho and Show being tag champs, but there is no face team being care about.

Big Show was taken out by Shad, and JTG rolled up Jericho. Close 2 count. Walls of Jericho. JTG refused to tap and worked hard to the second rope. He got there. KNOCKOUT PUNCH by Big Show.

Winners: Chris Jericho & Big Show

Looks like it won’t be the main event. The arena is all dark as DX’s new, remixed theme plays. Cool pyro show, too. The Army is out there. THEY’RE OPENING FIRE!!! WOAH, the stage is opening for DX who come out on a tank. I hope X-Pac is driving. Shawn is shotting fireworks from the gun.

Cody ducked a punch and slapped Shawn again. Cody and Ted regrouped on the outside. Despite that, Michaels still had Ted under control. Wait, a whip and clothesline. YAY Legacy. Legacy cornered the returning HBK.

Josh Matthews just joined Matt Striker at ringside, so the ECW title match must be next. Also, as Shawn Michaels is being cornered and is selling, I thought I’d mention that Beth Phoenix won the 15-diva battle royal before the show.

Michaels made the hot tag to HHH and The Game ran wild. Arn Anderson Spinebusters everywhere. Shawn was launched onto Cody on the outside. Low blow by DiBiase. Legacy are double teaming HHH. Triple H is figure tips away from a tag to HBK.

HHH took Ted out and brawled with him on the outside. Cody and Michaels slowly got up, lenaing on each other. Sweet chin music. It’s over.

Winners: DX

- ECW Championship: Christian vs. William Regal

Got a feeling these two won’t get the time their match deserves. Regal is out there with his boys, Zeke Jackson and Vladimir Kozlov. Regal in robe was hit with the killswitch. What the fuck. Bullshit.

Winner: Christian

Zeke and Vladimir attacked Christian. Regal slapped on the STF. Christ, I knew it wouldn’t be long, but Jesus. These two could have torn it up.

- WWE Championship: Randy Orton vs. John Cena

UFC Star TITO ORTIZ is in the crowd, behind Freddie Prince Jr. They didn’t make any mention of him, he got into shot and started posing like a mark.

Cena took Orton down to start the match. Dueling chants. I want more Tito Ortiz acting like a mark. Cena fired out of the corner and went wild on Orton. Only a 2. Orton has regained control of and match and is slowly picking Cena apart.

Orton is checking his mouth and spitting, he must have caught a stiff shot from Cena. Or he’s a fucking excellent worker. Maybe both. It’s a real slow pace, but has a main event feel to it. It’s sort of like an old, 80s main event. Crowd is fully behind Orton by the way.

Winner: Randy Orton

- World Heavyweight Championship: TLC – Jeff Hardy vs. CM Punk

Two years ago, if you told me CM Punk would be main eventing Summerslam, I’d laugh in your face. Got to be a huge thing for a lifelong wrestling fan like Punk is to be main eventing Summerslam. Hopefully goes all out in one of his last matches. This is only the 8th TLC match, I find that hard to believe.

Punk has the early advantage, as he’s beating down Hardy. Punk has a chair which he rams into the gut of Hardy. Punk grabs a ladder and goes for the belt. Jeff pushes the ladder over and fires up on Punk.

Hardy’s going up the ladder, but Punk boots the ladder which makes Jeff fall. GTS is blocked and Punk is set into the ladder. Jeff went for the whisper in the wind, but Punk caught him and dropped him right onto the edge of a set up chair. That has GOT to hurt.
