Final Summerslam Hype: WWE RAW Results, 8-20-07

The following report is courtesy of wrestleview.com...

Randy Orton’s music hit and he talked about the "beginning of the end for John Cena." Soon, though the music of the WWE Chairman hit and down came Vince McMahon.

Vince took the mic and started talking about the paternity suit. He said he found out today that his offspring was male and that someone on the roster was his son, probably someone of superior genetic makeup. He said he hoped his son would be like Orton and if he didn’t know Randy’s dad like he does, he’d be happy and proud to call Orton his son. He said he hoped his new son wasn’t like either one of his current offspring.

Orton the hightailed it out to the ringside area when Cena came down. Cena came out and cut off McMahon and told him the people as well as himself didn’t like Vince. Vince said nothing like that mattered. He said McMahon would shame him if he were his father. Cena said he was here tonight and his message was that he’ll be at Summerslam on Sunday and he’ll keep his title.

Vince said Cena might be lying. He said he might not be there and if he doesn’t show up, he’ll strip him of the WWE Championship. He said speaking of stripping, he would bring up Cena’s mother. He said in all likelihood, he could’ve done his mother. Cena decked Vince sending him reeling to the outside. Orton tended to McMahon as the two backed off and backed up the ramp. Vince said if Cena wanted action so bad, he would get it. He said he’d be in the ring tonight against Snitsky.

Cena looked concerned while Orton stared him down from the top of the ramp.

Mickie James & Candice Michelle v. Melina & Beth Phoenix
Before the match started, William Regal’s music hit and he came out to the ramp. He said we’d get a battle royal at Summerslam with every Diva in the WWE except for Candice Michelle. That’s because she’ll get the winner, who’ll get a future title shot against her.

Beth Phoenix started the match with Mickie and made her, um, her woman. Beth missed a splash attempt in the corner until Candice came in and hit a bunch of drop kicks and a spinning lariat on Melina for a two count. Candice connected with a northern lights suplex before laying Phoenix out with a big boot. Melina came charging at her only to get rolled up for a quick three count.
Winners: Candice Michelle & Mickie James via pin fall

William Regal was in the back before Santino stormed into the office. He said Regal was a home wrecker. Regal asked him just to stay away. Santino said he thought Regal’s accent made him sound limp wrested before declaring that he was going to look for a cappuccino.

Vince and Coach were conversing in the back before Coach asked him whether or not Triple H was his son. The agreed it probably wasn’t before running across Val Venis. Coach said it would explain a lot, about both if his son were indeed, Val. They continued on their stroll down the hallway only to come across a jovial Daivari who put his head dress on Vince who wasn’t amused. They walked along some more before Vince and Mr. Kennedy had a long stare down before continuing on and to commercial.

Cody Rhodes v. Shelton Benjamin
The two exchanged mat based moves before Shelton gained the advantage with some punches before slapping on a rear chin lock. Shelton broke the hold in rather short order, sending Cody off the ropes and hammering him with shots to the small of the back.

After jaw jacking for a little while, Shelton looked for the shot again but Cody nailed him with an elbow to the face. Body jumped on Shelton like a pit bull, hitting a clothesline and some drop kicks. Cody nailed a bulldog shortly thereafter for a two count. Cody hit the Dusty punches before Shelton caught him in a nasty inverted back breaker. Shelton went for a Boston crab but Cody was able to hit a roll up for the win.
Winner: Cody Rhodes via pin fall

Cade & Murdoch v. London & Kendrick
Kendrick and Cade started things off as Kendrick used his speed to his advantage to toss Cade around. Both hit a speedy double forearm that got London a one count.

Cade decked London before tagging in Murdoch. Murdoch came bull charging at London only to get arm dragged in short order. London hit a spring board cross-body block for a two count before eating a Murdoch back elbow. Murdoch tagged Cade in who bullied London to the corner and hit a hard Irish whip before London killed him with a back elbow. All hell broke loose and it ended with Kendrick and London hitting a tandem drop kick and a crazy suicida to the floor.

Just as they were all laid out on the floor, Cryme Tyme showed up and stole Murdoch’s hat and tried to sell it to the crowd. That easily distracted Cade and allowed Brian Kendrick to sneak in and grab a crucifix pin fall victory.
Winners: London & Kendrick via pin fall

Queen Sharmell is in the ring and she’s ready to introduce our King, King Booker. Booker ran down the coronation last week and how he took care of “Jerome” Lawler. A replay showed and Book said that wasn’t a video of someone who was scared. Booker said due to Jerry’s disrespect, the crowning never happened. He said though, he was a little happy that it didn’t happen last week, because he was going to give it all to the fans tonight. He said not only that, but Triple H would be the one who placed the crown on his head.

“King of Kings” hit and the crowd went banana cakes. A mock Triple H walked through the curtain. The nose rules. The fake Triple H crowned Book and bowed to him. Book told him he knew he was reasonable and he would make Triple H bow down to him at Summerslam.

Carlito’s Cabana
Carlito’s guest tonight is Umaga. This will be conversational. Umaga just sort of wandered around and tried to eat some plastic fruit. Umaga found the barrels of apples and just sort of wandered around while Carlito challenged him to a match at Summerslam for the IC title. Umaga stared at him before Mr. Kennedy interrupted the fun.

Kennedy asked him if he had any idea of who he was talking to. He said that man was a two time IC Champion and should be treated as such. He said he bulldozed through all the competition. Kennedy said he himself had done something that Umaga couldn’t do and that was beat Bobby Lashley. He said he took him out and the way he saw it, if there was anyone who deserved a shot at Umaga, it was him.

He did his Kennedy thing in Carlito’s face before Umaga cold cocked him, trashed the place, ate his belt and went up the ramp. William Regal came out and said there would only be one way to decide who would get “Umanga” at Summerslam. He told neither guy to go anywhere, because it’s on next.

#1 Contender for the WWE Intercontinental Championship" Mr. Kennedy v. Carlito
Kennedy had a top wrist lock applied before Carlito took Kennedy down and pounded away at him before shoving him to the outside. Kennedy leapt back into the ring and mounted Carlito, pounding away at him before Carlito took a walk to the outside of the ring.

The two exchanged dirty tactics before Carlito gained the upper hand and planted a hard chop on Kennedy’s chest. Carlito hit some shoulder thrusts and looked for a back elbow and connected for a two count. Carlito slapped on a front face lock before Kennedy broke the hold and hit a high back drop for a two count of his own.

Kennedy caught Carlito climbing the buckles before looking for the Green bay plunge. Carlito wiggled out and went for a superplex and connected. Kennedy held on though and the two rolled each other up and we’ve got a double pin.
Winner: Draw

William Regal immediately came out to do damage control and announced that at Summerslam, we’d have a Triple threat for the belt, as Carlito and Kennedy will both take on Umaga.

John Cena v. Snitsky
The two locked horns before Snitsky quickly gained the advantage with a boot to the gut. Snitsky slammed Cena around the ring before Cena avoided a splash attempt in the corner and connected with a bulldog. Cena tried to maintain his advantage but promptly ate a boot to the face.

Snitsky hammered away at Cena but Cena kept on firing back. Cena ran right at the big man only to get MURDERED (good lord I mean MURDERED) with a lariat, flat backing him and sending him skidding to the outside. Snitsky followed him to the outside and batted him around a bit before tossing him back into the ring.

Snitsky whipped Cena, who pin-balled off the corner. Snitsky paced around anxiously looking to take Cena’s face off with a big boot. Snitsky missed the boot and Cena chop blocked him. Cena scaled the top rope and hit his top rope leg drop.

Cena went right for the FU and almost hit it, but Orton popped up and RKO’d the hell out of him, causing the DQ.
Winner: John Cena via DQ

Orton immediately picked up Cena again and killed him with another RKO. Orton rolled to the outside and made love to the WWE title belt with his eyes as we went off the air.
