Summerslam 2007 Review

Summerslam 2007 Review : Cena/Orton For the First Time on PPV



Kane vs Finlay
I don't know why these two are feuding but I guess it has something to do with Kane's taped ribs . The commentators also said something about spilled coffee . Match was pretty entertaining and was good for getting the crowd fired up . Kane hits the chokeslam for the win . **1/4



Mr Kennedy vs Carlito vs Umaga
IC title is on the line here . I think every guy in this match is a heel so I'm not sure why this was booked . I think the fans decided to side with Kennedy . Match was pretty entertaining . Umaga hits the samoan spike to retain . **1/2



Rey Mysterio vs Chavo Guerrero
This is Mysterio's return match after missing almost a year of action thanks to the same man he's facing here , Chavo . These two usually had good matches , so I was looking forward to this one . This is the second time these two have fought each other at Summerslam . Another good match as Rey hits the 619 to win . ***



Divas Battle Royal
Winner of this would get a future women's title match . Well this one sucked . 1/4*  for Beth .


MVP challenges Matt Hardy to a beer drinking contest . It ends with Stone Cold coming out so that's a good thing .



CM Punk vs John Morrison 
ECW Title is on the line . On Punk's DVD , he talks about both he and Morrison being off their game on this night and delivering a sloppy matchup . Actually the match wasn't that bad , the crowd just wasn't into it and it was too short . Morrison pins Punk to retain . **1/2



Triple H vs King Booker
And here we have the second return match of the night as HHH makes his return , after missing eight months of action . This would be Booker's final PPV appearance until the 2011 Royal Rumble . Pretty dull match here . HHH hits the pedigree to win . *3/4



Batista vs Great Khali
I can't believe that Khali managed to get into a World title match , two Summerslams in a row . A little mind-boggling actually . Yeah this one sucked . And to make matters worse , it ended in a DQ . Just awful . DUD


Cena/Orton better be a damn good match . Rey/Chavo isn't enough to carry the show .



John Cena vs Randy Orton 
This is the first time these two guys have went one on one at a PPV and the first time they have fought for the WWE Title and would fight for it multiple times more (felt like dozens) . They would also fight two years later at the 2009 Summerslam , just with a different result . Great match and quite possibly their best with one another . Cena hits the FU to retain . ****


4.5/10 . Thank god for that great main event , or this would have been a disaster of a show . The only other match worth seeing is the Rey/Chavo match .
