SummerSlam Main Event Lives Up To Hype
The main event did exactly what it was supposed to do when you really break it down. A: It kept Cena protected as he lost due to cheating. B: It kept the belt on Edge, which I think is good becuase it keeps Cena the hunter - not the hunted. C: It established both guys that showed they could carry a show with other stars like HHH, Michaels, Hogan, Orton, and Batista.
As I said last night, I like the knuckles angle, I liked the whole thing about Lita almost getting him DQ'ed, and I liked that Edge kept playing scared, trying to get Cena counted out. So why keep the belt on Edge? Simple - it makes sense to have Cena continue to try to win it, instead of trying to fight Edge off. These two are having good enough matches by far to keep this thing going.
Now the question is - What's next for these two? Well, the main for next month's Unforgiven in Toronto has reportedly been booked as a TLC match with these two - which makes sense. It would allow Cena to use weapons like Edge last night, yet have Edge in a type of match that basically made him into star.
Mark it down now that with Lita heading out the door according to reports, she will be the one to cost him the belt in some fashion, and in turn will become a face once again as she leaves to pursue acting. A perfect setup for Unforgiven would be a three-way between her, Trish and Mickie James, in which James wins the belt back after Edge does soemthing to mess up the finish and cost Lita the title. At the same time, Trish goes out in her hometown in her final match despite losing - helping James get the belt back.
Then in the main, Lita returns the favor and costs Edge the title, and turns on him and goes out a face as well. It all adds up. No matter what finish they come up with, if the match in Toronto is as good as Boston, it will be one that people can look forward to.
