SUMMERSLAM, Year 6


Match 1. William Regal vs. Kofi Kingston   WWE European Championship
This is Kofi's last shot to bring the European title back home. Can he do it? He did it! Kofi came out firing on all cylinders. He landed a couple of heel kicks and clotheslines. He hit Trouble in Paradise early, but Regal kicked out. Regal came back with a tiger suplex and a superplex. After a missile dropkick, Kofi hit the Boom Drop and SOS to win the title.

Match 2. Ted DiBiase vs. Christian   WWE Intercontinental Championship
Christian landed a heel kick. He did whatever it took to win, including taking off the padded on the turnbuckle. Ted countered Christian's attack into an arm drag. Christian caught Ted with a hurricanrana pin and got a near fall. After kicking out of a pin, Christian busted Ted open with the Killswitch and won. Two matches, two title changes.

Match 3. Iron Man - Sheamus vs. Curtis Axel
This is a 15-minute Iron Man match. Axel quickly landed a superplex. Sheamus landed some nice back breakers while Axel focued on the legs with two chop blocks. Sheamus hit the Irish Curse, but got a one count. He hit the Brogue Kick and scored the first point. After kicking out of White Noise, Axel hit Turning Heads, but got a one count. They left the ring and Sheamus landed the Celtic Cross on the ramp. With six minutes left, the score was still 1-0 Sheamus. Sheamus made a comeback with a couple of slams and the Irish Curse to go up 2-0. He then hit the Celtic Cross and was up 3-0. Axel scored his first point after a superplex. Sheamus scored again after a Brogue Kick. The final score was 4-1.

Match 4. Last Man Standing - The Miz vs. Fandango
These two have not had a match against each other, so this makes sense. These two traded moves back and forth. Miz tossed Fandango to the outside. He speared him through the barricade, but Fandango got up at seven. Back in the ring, Fandango hit the Complete Shot and Miz was unable to get up.

Match 5. Rhodes Scholars vs. The Usos   WWE Tag Team Championship
Rhodes and Sandow hit Jey with a double back body drop. All four men fought on the outside. Jey hit Sandow with a super kick. He then connected with the Alley Us. Back in the ring, the Usos hit Rhodes with a double super kick. Rhodes hit Jimmy with a springboard splash and the Alabama Slam. Jimmy kicked out and hit the Alley Us to win. Another title change. What does this mean for the world champs?

Match 6. John Cena vs. Lesnar vs. CM Punk vs. Ryback vs. Seth Rollins   WWE Championship
This is a scramble match. Can Cena retain the title? The match began with Ryback and Seth Rollins. After tossing Rollins around for a little, Ryback DDT'd Rollins through the table. Ryback hit the backpack stunner and Shell Shock to (temporarily) become WWE champ. The next man to enter was John Cena, hoping to win back the title. Ryback hit Cena with Shell Shock. The fourth man out was CM Punk. Cena hit Rollins with a superplex and the AA to win back the title. Cena then hit him with a second AA for the hell of it.

Ryback hit Cena with Shell Shock to become champ. Punk went for a springboard elbow, but Rollins sprung up and hit the super kick. Brock Lesnar made his way out. Rollins landed a diving elbow on Punk and got the three count. Lesnar hit Ryback with the triple powerbombs. Cena hit Punk with the AA, but waited too long to pin. Punk went for a GTS, but Cena countered. Ryback hit Rollins with Shell Shock, but Brock broke up the pin. Thirty seconds left. Rollins did it! He's the new WWE champion!

Main Event. Mark Henry vs. Randy Orton   World Heavyweight Championship
Orton focused on the legs of Henry with a couple of chop blocks. Later, Henry tossed Orton into the corner and landed a fall away slam. Henry then locked in a bear hug, but Orton was able to escape. Orton blocked a right hand and connected with the RKO to win.


Recap: Fandango got a huge win. Regal's and DiBiase's long title reigns came to an end. That was an awesome scramble match. Every single title changed hands.
