Miz vs. Dolph Ziggler for the Intercontinental Championship is actually one and I

It’s the 27th annual summer tradition in the pro wrestling world once again, as the World Wrestling Entertainment staged their sixth straight (and final of the stretch) SummerSlam at Los Angeles Sunday evening (Monday morning Manila time).
A nine-card pay-per-view event was said to be the best so far in 2014, according to several fans and observers. Well, I beg to disagree even though I gave a high rating accessories for this one, too. If you wanna know why, let me tell you the story as you go along with this post.
The pre-show kickoff match (which was only shown to both live audience and through WWE network) was a major low point. Rob Van Damn vs. Cesaro seemed to be just another late addition, but it did not show any promises at all. Sure, they had a short-lived rivalry when Cesaro was still a Paul Heyman guy.
However, it did not really mattered at all. They have not figured out each other to work well since then, even if Cesaro left the heel manager. RVD won his second SummerSlam match; while Cesaro, previously a standout before WWE saw Roman Reigns’ skyrocketing potential, has been on a downward spiral.
Maybe if they could have set a tag team match, that could go way better. And that’s accessories another low point, actually. The Usos did not have a fight on SummerSlam for the championship, considering they awed us on their duel with the Wyatt Family on Payback (as supporting cast to John Cena vs. Bray Wyatt last man standing match), as well as title-staked bouts on Money in the Bank and Battleground.
Miz vs. Dolph Ziggler for the Intercontinental Championship is actually one and I’ll give credit to the Show Off guy for literally showing off his greatness to the grandest stage of the summer. And finally, somebody managed to knock the moneymaker’s face—in some grandest fashion. Forget Miz’s partner whose somehow was hot. A lot of celebrities were actually part of the attendance (it’s Hollywood, of course!).
Next on the schedule were Paige vs. AJ Lee for the Divas championship; Say, did that really happened too early? Heck, they gave more hype to Steph-vs.Brie match than giving these two young lads a main eventer-like match. It appeared like they are jobbers for a while, like what happened to both RVD and Cesaro.
Nonetheless, looks like the heel character worked well for the former NXT women’s champ as Paige denied AJ Lee’s chance to extend her second title reign. accessories Remember the night after WrestleMania where the English woman surprised the New Jersey-based all-time longest reigning Diva’s Champ.
Next, the flag match. At first, we were wondering, what the Helen of Tory is that? Using flags a la bunches of Pogo o Kendal sticks? Heck, no. Turns out, the battle accessories was for the nation’s pride. Just like what we Filipinos used to receive everytime we have a Manny Pacquiao accessories fight (even if reality-wise, accessories they’re professional accessories and after their living). At the end, Rusev continued his early dominance. Perhaps, it’s another step forward for the former NXT dominant force. As for Jack Swagger, it’s another disappointment on his WWE story.
Overall, the match was kinda boring though. It’s like we’re sick of seeing this rivalry at all since it never prosper the way it should be. Yes, Rusev had a huge weakness exposed despite his bulkiness in size. But it didn’t matter at all. What’s next?
Chris Jericho lost to Bray Wyatt in some kind of predictable fashion. Look, Y2J is about to leave WWE by September 21. And on the other end, Bray got that much-needed win. And to be frank, he’d done it in convincing fashion—without accessories the help of his wingmen Luke Harper and Erick Rowan. Maybe another huge victory mark for the patriarch at all.
It’s been a while since we last witnessed a lumberjack match; and it’s on against two former SHIELD members Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins. I’ll say this was the match of the night. Yes, the best one, considering lot of WWE superstars were at ringside to make sure neither the Lunatic Fringe nor the Mr. Money in the Bank will be running away. Though accessories even of course, Seth Rollins won the fight without his signature Curb Stomp, the hype really lived up to itself. accessories Maybe we’ll expect more on this feud in the upcoming weeks.
Next on line was the anticipated comeback of Stephanie accessories McMahon in the squared circle after 11 years, and she was challenged by the ‘returning’ Brie Bella. Triple H and Nikki Bella also made cameo appearances somewhere during the match.
And turns out that Nikki turned back on her sister this time. Perhaps, it was due to conspiracy theories that the Authority has been implicated on her in the past since Brie left WWE in Payback (and include the sounding slap right there). accessories She fed up with her sister, and that could be another twist to fix at the rebel-maker’s end.
