Summerslam started at 8PM EST on Sunday, August 23, 2009, live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. The event is televised on Pay-Per-View, and results are now final, listed below.

On the card are five title matches in addition to three feud matches. Shawn Michaels makes his much anticipated return to partner up with Triple H for a D-Generation X match against Legacy (Rhodes & Dibiase). Raw's John Cena looks to once again become WWE Champion by defeating current champ, Randy Orton, the Viper. In what could be a show-stealer, Jeff Hardydefends the World Heavyweight Title against CM Punk in a Tables, Ladders and Chairs (TLC) Match!Before the pyrotechnics went off, there was a D-Generation X skit involving the video feed with HBK and HHH trying to fix things since it kept getting messed up. As they tried to fix the feed DX said "We're back" before the Summerslam promo video started...The pyro fireworks went off to open the Pay-Per-View. Jim Ross welcomed fans to the 22nd edition of Summerslam.Early on, the action spilled to the outside as Rey knocked Ziggler out of the ring and followed up with a Hurricanrana. When they got back into the ring, Dolph began to take control again briefly. Mysterio came back and tried a move from off the middle rope, with Ziggler dropkicking him down from the air. This was followed by Dolph trying for several pins with Rey escaping.

Mysterio managed to trip Ziggler into the ropes and went for a 619, with Ziggler slipping outside the ring. Ziggler slips back into the ring after Rey came out after him. As Rey returns to the ring, Ziggler is able to hit his finisher on him. Rey barely kicked out of the pin at 2 1/2. From there, Rey was able to hit a 619, but missed a move from the corner, allowing Ziggler to roll him up for a pin. Rey escaped yet again, and Ziggler got him up on his shoulders near the top rope. Mysterio was able to do a spin move followed by the Hurricanrana onto Ziggler from the top rope for the pinfall victory. Rey is still your Intercontinental champ!

D-Generation X vs. The Legacy

Reuniting as D-Generation X, Triple H and long-time friend Shawn Michaels will be crashing The Biggest Party of the Summer as the duo is set to take on The Legacy’s Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase at SummerSlam.

In recent months, Triple H has tried everything in his power to rid Raw of WWE Champion Randy Orton and The Legacy, but it seems as if at every turn, Rhodes & DiBiase did their leader’s bidding and thwarted The Game.

It wasn’t until The King of Kings lost a Handicap Match on Raw against the two young Superstars that it dawned on him that he needed a little assistance. What better help than the same man with whom The Game had created his own legacy as part of D-Generation X?

Only one thing stood in the way of that, nobody had seen Shawn Michaels since he lost his match against Undertaker at the 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania. Fortunately for Triple H, HBK gave his old friend the nod and agreed to get the band back together.

Although The Cerebral Assassin and The Showstopper haven’t teamed together in more than nine months, whenever the two reunite it tends to be explosive – if not hilarious, as well.

It’s doubtful that Rhodes & DiBiase are laughing at the tremendous task set before them, but both Legacy members seem confident heading into perhaps the biggest match to date for either of their young careers.

Will it be the antics and years of teaming that lead Triple H & HBK to a successful DX reunion? Or will Rhodes & DiBiase use their natural abilities and determination to pick up an impressive victory over the two decorated in-ring veterans?
