SummerSlam (2007) was the twentieth annual SummerSlam professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).[4] The event took place on August 26 2007 at the Continental Airlines Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey and featured wrestlers from all three brands (Raw, SmackDown!, and ECW).[1][5] Tickets for SummerSlam went on sale December 30 and sold out in forty minutes.[4] The official theme song was "Whine Up" by Kat DeLuna w/Elephant Man.[6][7] The event featured two taglines: "The Biggest Party of the Summer" and "The Party is Over."[8]

The main match on the Raw brand was John Cena versus Randy Orton for the WWE Championship, which Cena won by pinfall after performing an FU.[9] The predominant match on the SmackDown! brand was between The Great Khali and Batista for the World Heavyweight Championship, which was won by Batista after Khali got himself intentionally disqualified.[10] The primary match on the ECW brand was John Morrison versus CM Punk for the ECW Championship, which Morrison won by pinning Punk while using the ropes for extra leverage.[11] Main matches on the undercard included Rey Mysterio versus Chavo Guerrero and Triple H versus King Booker.[12][13]

Several of the existing feuds carried on after the event. Notably, CM Punk continued to face John Morrison, defeating him for the ECW Championship the following month.[14][15] The day after SummerSlam, Orton interfered in a match between Cena and King Booker and intensified the feud by attacking Cena's father.[16][17] Khali and Batista faced each other at Unforgiven, the following pay-per-view, as part of a Triple Threat match; Batista was victorious in this match and won the World Heavyweight Championship.[18][19]

Report

Background

World Wrestling Entertainment had originally planned an angle between the cast of the Jackass TV series and Umaga, with the feud concluding in a match at SummerSlam.[20][21] Shane McMahon, who planned the angle after their last appearance on the June 4 edition of Raw, signed cast members Bam Margera, Chris Pontius, Johnny Knoxville, Preston Lacey, Ryan Dunn, Steve-O, and Wee-Man to be involved; however, Knoxville had not yet agreed.[20][21] Their storyline was scheduled to begin at the previous pay-per-view event, The Great American Bash, but was canceled after the Jackass cast dropped out due to the high media attention of the Chris Benoit double murder and suicide.[20]

John Cena as WWE Champion

The main feud heading into SummerSlam on the Raw brand was between John Cena and Randy Orton, with the two battling over the WWE Championship. At The Great American Bash, John Cena defeated Bobby Lashley to retain the WWE Championship.[22][23] The next night on Raw, after a Handicap match involving Cena, Randy Orton came out and executed an RKO on Cena. Shortly thereafter, Executive Assistant Jonathan Coachman announced Orton as the new number one contender to the WWE Championship.[24][25] Before that, Orton claimed that he had never faced Cena in a one-on-one WWE Championship match.[25] On the July 30 edition of Raw, Carlito defeated Cena in a non-title match after Orton interfered and distracted Cena.[26][27] Three weeks later, on the August 18 edition of Saturday Night's Main Event, Cena faced off against Carlito in another non-title match, which Cena won.[28] After the match, Orton came out and attacked Cena, which led to Orton giving Cena an RKO through a steel chair.[28]

The main feud on the SmackDown! brand was between The Great Khali and Batista, with the two feuding over the World Heavyweight Championship. On the July 6 edition of SmackDown!, The Great Khali issued an open challenge for a match at The Great American Bash.[29][30] The next week on SmackDown!, Batista accepted Khali's challenge and their match was made official after a contract signing.[31][32] That same night, then-World Heavyweight Champion Edge, who was scheduled to face Kane for the title at The Great American Bash, legitimately injured his left pectoral muscle after Kane interrupted his Mardi Gras celebration.[33][34] On the July 20 edition of SmackDown!, Edge was forced to relinquish the World Heavyweight Championship.[33][35] SmackDown! General Manager Theodore Long then announced that there would be a 20-Man Battle Royal later that night to determine a new World Heavyweight Champion.[35][36] Khali won the Battle Royal and became the new World Heavyweight Champion by last eliminating Kane and Batista.[35][36] Khali defeated the two and retained the title at The Great American Bash.[37][38] Five days later, on SmackDown!, Batista interrupted Khali's celebration and challenged him to a match at SummerSlam.[39][40][41] The next week, on the August 3 edition of SmackDown!, Long announced that Khali would defend his title against Batista at SummerSlam.[42][43][44]

John Morrison, who was the ECW Champion heading into SummerSlam

The main feud on the ECW brand was between John Morrison and CM Punk, with the two feuding over the ECW Championship. Morrison won the title at Vengeance: Night of Champions, the pay-per-view two months before SummerSlam, by defeating CM Punk.[45] At the following pay-per-view, The Great American Bash, Morrison defeated Punk to retain the ECW Championship.[46][47] On the July 31 edition of ECW, Punk defeated Tommy Dreamer and Elijah Burke in a Triple Threat match to earn a 15 Minutes of Fame match with Morrison.[48][49] The following week on ECW, Punk defeated Morrison in the 15 Minutes of Fame match he had earned the previous week. Punk won the match by pinfall after executing a GTS (Go To Sleep).[50][51] As a result of this victory, Punk earned himself a championship match against Morrison at SummerSlam.[50][51] Two weeks later, on the August 21 edition of ECW, Morrison and The Miz defeated Punk and The Boogeyman.[52][53] Midway through the match, Morrison slammed Boogeyman's head into the steel ring steps, leaving Punk on his own against Morrison and The Miz. Morrison gained the pinfall after performing a corkscrew neckbreaker on Punk.[52][53]

The secondary feud on the SmackDown! brand was between Rey Mysterio and Chavo Guerrero. The feud started in July 2006 at The Great American Bash when Guerrero interfered in Mysterio's World Heavyweight Championship match with King Booker and hit Mysterio with a steel chair.[54] Guerrero faced off against Mysterio the following month at SummerSlam, winning the match after a frog splash.[55] At No Mercy, the pay-per-view two months after SummerSlam 2006, Mysterio defeated Guerrero in a Falls Count Anywhere match, pinning him after a crossbody off of a guard rail.[56] Two weeks later, on the October 20 edition of SmackDown!, Guerrero defeated Mysterio in an "I Quit" match, forcing him to quit after hitting his left knee with a steel chair repeatedly.[57][58] During the match, Guerrero legitimately injured Mysterio's left knee, tearing his ACL and patella tendon.[57][58] Ten months later, on the August 3 edition of SmackDown!, a match between Mysterio and Guerrero was booked for SummerSlam.[42][59] The next week on SmackDown!, Guerrero, wearing Mysterio's ring attire, defeated Eugene.[60][61] In the match, Guerrero performed many of Mysterio's signature moves, including a 619 and seated senton.[60][61] On the August 24 edition of SmackDown!, Guerrero put Mysterio's mask on Funaki and hit his knee repeatedly with a steel chair.[62][63]

Before the event went live on pay-per-view, World Tag Team Champions Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch defeated Paul London and Brian Kendrick in a dark match.[3][64][65] The first match that aired was between Kane and Finlay. Kane controlled the opening minutes of the match, performing a variety of moves including a scoop slam and a big boot. After some back and forth action, Finlay was able to hit Kane with a shillelagh in the ribs. Kane kicked out of the pin attempt and executed a chokeslam, pinning him after for the win.[5][66][67]

Next was a Triple Threat match involving Umaga, Carlito, and Mr. Kennedy for the WWE Intercontinental Championship. In the beginning, Kennedy tried to form an alliance with Carlito, but Umaga quickly turned the match in his favor. Kennedy and Carlito soon gained the upper hand after Carlito dropkicked Umaga to the outside. Shortly thereafter, Carlito turned on Kennedy and attempted to pin him with a roll-up. After a back and forth match between the three, Umaga regained control and performed a Samoan Spike on Kennedy, which led to Umaga pinning Kennedy for the win and successfully retaining the WWE Intercontinental Championship.[5][67][68]

The third match was Rey Mysterio versus Chavo Guerrero, which was Mysterio's first match since Guerrero injured his knee in October 2006. Mysterio gained the early advantage when he was able to perform an arm drag and a plancha on Guerrero. Mysterio then performed a low dropkick to Guerrero's left knee, followed by a diving hurricanrana. Towards the end of the match, Guerrero was able to perform a Gory Bomb on Mysterio after Mysterio had missed a crossbody. Mysterio kicked out of the pin attempt and performed a 619 followed by a springboard splash for the pinfall victory.[5][12][67]

Next was an Interpromotional Divas Battle Royal involving Beth Phoenix, Melina, Mickie James, Jillian Hall, and Maria from Raw, Michelle McCool, Torrie Wilson, Kristal Marshall, and Victoria from SmackDown!, and Kelly Kelly, Layla, and Brooke from ECW. Shortly after the match began, Brooke was eliminated after Phoenix threw her over the top rope. Shortly afterwards, Hall eliminated Maria. Layla was the next one eliminated, after being thrown out by Melina. Kristal then eliminated Victoria, kicking her through the ropes. James then eliminated Kristal, kicking her out of the ring. Phoenix and Hall easily eliminated Kelly. As Hall tried to throw James out of the ring, she was eliminated after Wilson knocked her over the top rope. James was eliminated shortly afterwards by Melina. McCool and Wilson then worked together to eliminate Melina. The two continued their alliance, but Phoenix was able to get the upper hand, first eliminating Wilson, followed by McCool to win the match and a future WWE Women's Championship match.[5][67][69]

Shortly after the match ended, WWE United States Champion Montel Vontavious Porter (MVP) came to the ring and challenged Matt Hardy to a beer drinking contest. Hardy declined and named a replacement, Steve Austin. Austin came out and mocked MVP by doing several warm-up exercises similar to those MVP does before a match. As the contest was set to start, Austin delivered a Stone Cold Stunner to MVP and left the ring.[5][67][71]

Next on the card was John Morrison versus CM Punk for the ECW Championship. Punk gained early control when he was able to perform a scoop slam as well as a springboard dropkick; however, Morrison was able to counter a shoulder block attempt into a neckbreaker on the ring apron. After Morrison controlled the match for several minutes, Punk was able to put the match back in his favor after performing a diving crossbody followed by an enzuigiri. Morrison, however, countered a Frankensteiner attempt into a pin-cover while using the ropes for leverage. He got the win, thus retaining the ECW Championship.[5][11][67]

The sixth match of the event was between the returning Triple H and King Booker, who was accompanied by Queen Sharmell. The match started with Triple H gaining the early advantage; however, Booker was able to gain control after performing a low dropkick. Triple H regained control after countering Booker and performing a variety of moves, including a clothesline in the corner and a spinebuster. Booker put the match back in his favor after reversing a clothesline attempt into a Book End, which was followed by a sidewalk slam. After Booker missed a diving somersault leg drop, Triple H was able to recover and perform a Pedigree, which led to Triple H pinning him for the win.[5][13][67]

Stage setup for SummerSlam

The World Heavyweight Championship match between champion The Great Khali and challenger Batista was next. Khali controlled most of the match, performing a variety of moves, including a brain chop, a big boot, and multiple clotheslines. Batista won the match after Khali got himself intentionally disqualified by hitting Batista with a steel chair.[5][10][67] As a result, Khali retained the title because a title cannot change hands by countout or disqualification.[5][10][67]

Next was the main event, which saw John Cena defend the WWE Championship against Randy Orton. After back and forth action in the opening minutes, Orton gained the advantage after Cena missed a flying shoulder block attempt. Orton followed up by applying a reverse chinlock and attacking Cena's leg. After Orton controlled the match for several minutes, Cena gained control and performed various maneuvers including a twisting belly to belly side slam and the Five Knuckle Shuffle; Orton, however, was able to counter an FU attempt into an inverted headlock backbreaker. Cena countered a running punt attempt into the STFU submission hold. Orton, however, got to the bottom rope, and performed an RKO. Cena kicked out of the pin attempt and performed an FU for the pinfall victory, thus retaining the WWE Championship.[5][9][67]

Aftermath

The general reaction to the pay-per-view was positive,[5] with 537,000 ordering the event.[72] However, many were disappointed by the match between Batista and The Great Khali,[73][74][75] which was given a 1 out of 10 rating by SLAM! Sports.[5]

During the event, John Cena provoked his feud with Randy Orton. On the August 27 edition of Raw, Cena faced King Booker in a non-title match. When Cena appeared close to winning, Randy Orton interfered and attacked him, causing Booker to lose by disqualification.[16][17] After the match ended, Orton attacked Cena's father, who was sitting at ringside, and kicked him in the head.[16][17] The two faced each other in a rematch at Unforgiven for the WWE Championship. Cena was disqualified in the match for continuously punching Orton.[76] Orton won the match but not the title. Afterwards, Cena's father kicked Orton in the head,[76] in the same way Orton had kicked his one month prior.[17]

On August 31 edition of SmackDown!, Rey Mysterio, Finlay, Kane, and Batista participated in a four-man Championship Competition tournament. Mysterio defeated Batista and Finlay and became the number one contender for the World Heavyweight Championship at Unforgiven.[77] On September 7 edition of SmackDown!, Mysterio defeated Chavo Guerrero in an "I Quit" match. After the match, The Great Khali attacked Mysterio until Batista made the save. Batista was then included in the one-on-one title match at Unforgiven, making it a Triple Threat match.[78] At the event, Batista won the championship for a third time.[18][19]

The feud between Matt Hardy and Montel Vontavious Porter continued when they were forced to team up against Deuce 'N Domino on the August 31 edition of SmackDown!. They won the match and the WWE Tag Team Championship.[79] The following month at Unforgiven, MVP and Hardy defeated Deuce 'N Domino to retain the WWE Tag Team Championship.[80] That October at No Mercy, Hardy defeated MVP in a pizza eating contest.[81][82] On the November 16 edition of SmackDown!, MVP and Hardy lost the WWE Tag Team Championship to the team of The Miz and John Morrison.[83][84]

Umaga lost the WWE Intercontinental Championship to Jeff Hardy on the September 3 edition of Raw.[85] Afterwards, Umaga started a feud with Triple H.[86] At Unforgiven, Candice Michelle defeated Beth Phoenix to retain the WWE Women's Championship.[87][88] Phoenix, however, later defeated Candice at No Mercy to win the title.[89] On September 4 edition of ECW, CM Punk defeated John Morrison to win the ECW Championship.[14][15] At Cyber Sunday, Punk retained the title by defeating The Miz.[90] The following month at Survivor Series, Punk defeated Morrison and The Miz in a Triple Threat match to retain the ECW Championship.[91][92]

However, it isn't an exciting enough show to dedicate three straight hours to.
  74. ^ Siciliano, Mike (2007-08-27). "Palace Report: Thoughts on SummerSlam". WrestleView. Retrieved 2008-03-30. From the reports I read, and the emails I've received, the World Heavyweight title match was vomit style ugly.
  75. ^ Anvils's Swagbag (2007-08-26). "SummerSlam 2007 results". The Wrestling Fan. Retrieved 2008-03-30. Crowd SHIT on the DQ finish. Fuck it, I shit on the DQ finish. I never wanted to see this little nugget of crap anyway, but I at LEAST expected some kind of fucking conclusion. Now we are back in limbo. Batista won, but still isn't champion. Fuck making jokes, this whole damn thing is a big gooey diarrhoea-esque mess. Get the belt off Khali and fire him ASAP. Then fire the booking team. Preferably out of a cannon.
