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!
