Yeah, it will make for an interesting Raw that's for sure.

This, everyone will be keen to see who Nash is with:
1. Cena, who was scared HHH was going to rig the match against him, also, remember on Raw he told Punk that he needs to win it more than Cena does, maybe he hired Deisel to shut Punk up.
2. HHH, who just doesn't like Punk, wants to do what's good for business (give Del Rio the belt for the Mexico tour, fits in with the reality storyline)
3. Del Rio, paying him off as a bodyguard
4. Stephanie, flexing her muscle, she doesn't like Punk
5. Laranitis, again he doesn't like Punk at all
6. Vince, he blames Punk for losing his job, and wants to take him out and get it back again (I doubt this will happen though)

One thing all 5 have in common is none of them like Punk.

I think Steph will have some involvement in the whole thing (and become another key player in this storyline), as will HHH and Laranitis. Cena will stay in the title picture (triple threat at NOC against ADR and Punk) before getting out of it and moving onto the Rock. Del Rio will probably have a minor role, I doubt Nash is in cahoots with him, and was encouraged by who hired Nash to take the opportunity.

I think Punk will blame HHH for what happened, even though he will claim he had nothing to do with it. I think Punk will be champion again before the year is out (ADR will hold it for a few months max), and it will set up Punk vs HHH at Mania, with Laranitis, Nash and Steph to all be anti-Punk until one of them flips on the rest at Mania helping Punk win.

It was an underwhelming end to a fantastic PPV no doubt, but I won't write off the storyline yet, there's still potential there. Raw will be make or break for the storyline.

To be honest, the show was about as bland as I expected.

Rey Mysterio, John Morrison and Kofi Kingston vs. Alberto Del Rio, The Miz and R Truth
Fun opener akin to a television match where the faces got to exhibit their skills. Very light-hearted match.

Mark Henry vs. Sheamus
About as good as it could have been. Kept at a decent pace with Sheamus basically dominating proceedings until Henry took control where he slammed Sheamus through the barricade. Well booked match that made Henry look like a monster without making Sheamus look bad.

Beth Phoinex vs. Kelly Kelly
Actually a somewhat decent divas match. Kelly took the fight to Phoinex early who wore a new outfit that made her look like a bit of a bimbo herself. Phoinex fought back, look to have taken the win only to be rolled up by Kelly for the finish.

Daniel Bryan vs. Wade Barrett
I found this match pretty disappointing. Barrett just plodded along while Bryan did all he could to get a good match. Barrett went over with a Wasteland but really the highlight was Bryan kicking the s**t out of Barrett. Aside from that, it was just sort of awkward and slow for me.

Christian vs. Orton
Was let down by Christian's special guest, as soon as they announced it I knew Edge wasn't going to contribute s**t to the match and I was right. Otherwise this was a good spotty match with some brutal spots that recalled past spots through out the feud. Good blow off match but not their best effort.

CM Punk vs. John Cena
Another disappointing match. It was good...but no where near as good as their first match. It was just a really slow match filled with a lot of rest-holds to begin with and just as it was going somewhere, HHH fails to see a foot on the rope and then s**t hits the fan big time. I'm okay with what happened, because I'm looking forward to see what will happen on Raw BUT for a SummerSlam show it was inappropriate and it will rank up there as one of the worst in WWE's history.

4/10 for me, very skippable.

Why would you end a ppv with a cheap run in and have the belt switch so easily?

Disgraceful

What Shit, CM Punk is the hottest thing in Wrestling atm and would of made sense to put the title on him.

Kevin Nash? WTF? Where did that come from? Nash has no bussiness near the world title picture let alone near a WWE ring.

Alberto Del Rio wins via pinfall/Interference from Kevin Nash.

Kevin Nash lost 20000000000 points in overness. The John Cena and CM Punk Feud lost 294797304973194071924701924709375908 points in Feud Heat.

Loving it! I'm sick of these puny emo wrestlers such as cm punk and daniel bryan getting title opportunities. They aren't heavyweights! Nash is a heavyweight. Cm Punk is nowhere near in the same class as Nash as a wrestler!

Tell me you didnt say that.
Nash had a rep in WCW for running around backstage running down wrestlers like Jerchico, Malenko, Benoit and Guerrero calling them "Vanilla Midgets" meaning boring little guys.

Face it the only reason Nash is on TV is that he is best buddys with HHH

I remember not too long ago he wanted to go back to TNA.

Maybe they are doing it to create some real heat between the wwe and punk. I sort of get that from a smarks angle given nash's well known history in f**king up organizations

The fact he was allowed to get away with ruining the wwe's third biggest ppv is a very poor start though booking wise

Come on guys, if anything ruined the PPV it was the lead up. Terrible booking of the show, and if they were going to do the whole "one match show" sort of thing, they should have given it a shitload more build up in terms of the main event...but they didn't.

The whole Nash thing, yeah not perfect, but it generated a shitload of interest - I know I was intrigued, and still am, in who txt'd him. I get the feeling it wasn't Triple H (maybe Steph?), at first...then we'll get the swerve eventually.

It is indeed CM Punk vs the world, and I think it's been done pretty well so far. Let's keep watching, hey, atleast we're being entertained.

In other news, Smackdown blows. Daniel Bryan needs better music. Can;t wait to see Kong kill Phoenix and Natalya when she returns!

Cult of Personality is a terrible song for a Punk guy to come out to. If he was serious about Straight Edge or whatever he would come out to Minor Threat or H2O or something. Either way, Punk is the f**king man.
