Winner: John Morrison
Rating: ** (Nothing went together in this match. Both styles completely messed up the match. Which is a shock since Punk and Morrison have put on good bouts in the past. Morrison wins again for the third time, why cant Punk get a title win? Is he still in the doghouse with the WWE? I kinda figured Morrison would win since they had a vignette over him before the match and not ant mention on Punk. Ok, but kind of a letdown.)

The first three matches and the main event is the matches Id say go see although there wasnt really a classic match so if you didnt buy SummerSlam dont go rushing to buy the replay. OVERALL RATING: 6/10.
