That's true. I don't normally rag on Cena because I think he is a good talent. He just needs to dial back on the goof crap that they have him doing for the 7 year old kids.

I believe that WWE were close to going under back in 1995 and who was champ at that point? Oh yes a spindly legged 7ft guy called Diesel. TBH, having a twitter fight with Y2J is probably one of the dumbest things Nash has done. His big come back lines revolved around Jericho losing in the first round on one of those celebrity singing shows (which was actually won by Carlton from Fresh Prince of Bel Air) and Jericho himself had already talked about it in his second book and that his elimination had been political rather than talent related as the shows producers didn't want there only to be 1 woman for most of the show's run so even though the other woman was worse, she was kept at his expense.

Just caught up with Raw. Other than the HHH v Lesnar match I'm not sure there's anything about Summerslam that I'm looking forward too. Poor really.

There's a good chance for Punk to really push himself as a heel.

The Y2J vs Ziggler match will hopefully be something good as Ziggler needs a strong run against a solid opponent who can raise him to main event level player.

TBH, HHH vs Lesner for me is a nothing match. Maybe 10 years ago when Lesner was the new guy being pushed as the face of WWE and was holding the title, this match would have meant something. But now it's just an overpaid prima dona vs the boss' son in law

It will define what WWE do with Lesnar going forward.

If they put him over HHH clean, then it sets him up to be the figurehead of the business going forward.

Anything else leaves him dead in the water and with zero crediblity IMO.

Summerslam spoilers

*Santino loses US title to Antonio Cesaro in pre-show.

Ziggler and Jericho kick things off. Jericho has ribs strapped.

Jericho wins with the walls after kicking out of Zig Zag earlier in match.

In a back and forth match, DB counters an attempted tombstone into a roll up for the win.

Miz beats Rey to retain IC Title.

Sheamus cheats one from Del Rio. Rodriguez distracted the ref and then threw his shoe to Del Rio but Sheamus catches it and uses it before hitting the Irish Curse back breaker. Del Rio puts his foot on the ropes during the count but the ref doesn't see it and awards Sheamus the match. Good ending that obv sets up a re-match.

Kofi and Truth retain against the Prime Time Players.

Big Show taps out but is in both the Anaconda Vice and STF at the same time. AJ orders the match to be restarted and Show chokeslams both Cena and Punk but they both kick out one after the other. Cena then hits the AA on Show but Punk comes from behind to throw him out the ring and get the pin to retain.

Earlier in the night HHH was seen talking to the official and told him that there would be no DQ and no countout. "Let us fight" were his words.

There were no weapons used but it was an out and out brawl. Lesnar kicked out of a pedigree.

To end the match, HHH hit the pedigree again but when he tried to roll Lesnar over he countered into the Komora lock which HHH eventually tapped out too after his arm was 'broke'

After the match HHH refuses medical attention and mouths "I'm sorry" to the crowd. Looks like it may have been his last match.

Cracking PPV, and the crowd were loud throughout.

Yeah it wasn't a bad ppv at all. For me The Miz stole the show. Cannot believe how much better a worker he is compared to his title run. He may be thrust back into the main event soon.
