The Best vs. The Beast; The Beard vs. The Champ
After last years disappointing "Summerslam," WWE rebounds nicely at this event. The the double main event feuds were very compelling in their own way and the under card was pretty solid as well. This event took me for an interesting ride.
United States Championship
Dean Ambrose (Champion) vs. RVD
While this wasn't as good as I hoped it would be, it continued the hot streak for WWE's pre-show matches. There was nothing spectacular about the match but these two looked fluid in the ring and Ambrose definitely held his own. This match was all apart of another story though, as Mark Henry & Big Show look to take on the other two members of the Shield, Roman Reigns & Seth Rollins. I'm looking forward to seeing what these two can do given more time and an actual finish. ***
Ring of Fire Match
Kane vs. Bray Wyatt
The fact that the this was the first Inferno (Ring of Fire) Match since 2006 made me very excited as a fan. I've loved the Wyatt Family and...
YES! YES! YE....RKO & GAME OVER!
A couple of notes here in the The Miz hosted this years event but kept having to deal with Fandango throughout the night & JoJo from "Total Divas" sang the National Anthem at the start of the show.
Ring Of Fire Match: Kane vs. Brad Wyat - This is the match that was formerly known as the "Inferno Match" where ringside is surrounded by fire to keep the participants inside & any other associates out except this match could end by pinfall or submission instead of setting the other on fire. The flames on the outside shot up high whenever a big move was delivered such as Kane's chokeslams & sidewalk slam or Wyat's running forearm while Wyat's associates on the outside kept attempting to get involved trying to toss in weapons or putting the fire out to no avail throughout the match. While the visual of the men wrestling around the flames was quite the sight, the match itself wasn't much but did it's job in establishing Brad Wyat.
Cody Rhodes vs. Damien Sandow - The...
WWE Summerslam 2013 review
The United States Championship match between Rob Van Dam & Dean Ambrose was an average match that never really kicked into gear. The Ring of Fire match between Kane & Bray Wyatt was not great but pretty good. The Cody Rhodes-Damien Shadow match was a fast-paced and good bout. The World's Heavyweight Championship match between Alberto Del Rio & Christian was a phenomenal example of old-school wrestling at its finest and the finish was a good example of in-ring psychology and continuously as one could imagine. The Natalya-Brie Bella match was unspectacular yet solid. The No-DQ match between Brock Lesnar & CM Punk was a hardcore,smash-mouth,vicious brawl. The Mixed Tag Team match between Dolph Ziggler & Kaitlyn against Big E Langston & AJ Lee was a fast-paced,interesting & entertaining bout. The WWE Championship match between John Cena & Daniel Bryan(With Triple H as the Guest Referee) was a phenomenal,back-and-forth bout. I give this PPV a 8 out of 10.
