SummerSlam proved to be a memorable night and saw the return of two sure-fire Hall of Famers.Now, WWE usually pumps up the audience with a dark match – a.k.a. a bonus, untelevised match not featured on the card.
The WWE were conflicted with two options – either has The Miz fight Kofi Kingston or have a 15-Diva Battle Royal.
Seeing as Kofi was slated to participate in the WWE Universe Live Chat hosted by Corey Clayton – The Divas had the chance to show the Staples Center what they were made of.
The Royal was not for any prize or recognition – just a showcase of strength.
There were no friends in this Royal as former friends grappled and forced one another out of the ring. But Beth Phoenix proved to be the strongest as she clotheslined two Divas – but Natalya, daughter of Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart, also clotheslined two Divas, one of them being Beth Phoenix.
But in the end, it was Phoenix who prevailed – thanks to the help of special guest referee Chavo Guerrero.
Chavo seemed pretty pleased with his handiwork, until the Divas united to hold him down so that Hornswoggle could perform the Tadpole Splash.
Oh, Chavo… What is WWE doing to the Guerrero name?
The opening match was for the Intercontinental Championship. Dolph Ziggler entered the arena hoping to capture his first title, but dodging the 619 was not enough. Rey Mysterio entered his hometown clad in the Los Angeles colors, executed a top rope hurricanrana, and then finished it off with a second 619 that connected – giving Rey Mysterio the win and still the Intercontinental Champion.Dolph Ziggler is no doubt meant for future glory in the WWE, but after failing to capture the gold twice, it’s best to let someone else strive for the gold for a while and continue to build up Ziggler with more wins.
