One of my fave Summerslams, i was really looking forward to the return of Triple H.I was so excited in the weeks prior to this. Also Orton v Cena is a good match too. Loved this edition, was great. Definitely a Summerslam to add to your collection!

It promised to be "The Biggest Party Of The Summer", and with 537,000 pay per view buys, WWE fans were looking forward to the 20th annual Summerslam, held at East Rutherford, NJ on August 26, 2007. All three brands, all three World Championships at stake, and the return of 'The Game' Triple H: this years Summerslam certainly looked like it could live up to "Big Four" expectations.

Kane vs. Finlay was the opening match, which saw 'The Big Red Machine' defeat 'The Fighting Irishman' after a chokeslam in a mundane bout. The action barely improved in a poor Triple Threat match where Intercontinental Champion Umaga defended against Mr. Kennedy and Carlito. 'The Samoan Bulldozer' retained the title when he pinned Kennedy after a Spike.

Rey Mysterio made his in-ring comeback against the man who'd put him out of action for 10 months, former friend Chavo Guerrero. Predictably, Mysterio beat Chavo in a good match. A rubbish interpromotional Diva battle royal saw Beth Pheonix become the No.1 Contender for Raw's Women's Championship.

United States Champion MVP wasn't defending his title at Summerslam, but he challenged Matt Hardy to a beer-drinking contest instead. Matt named WWE legend Stone Cold Steve Austin as his replacement, and the former 6-time WWE Champion Stunnered Porter to the delight of the crowd. John Morrison had won the vacant ECW Championship the previous month at Vengeance by beating CM Punk, and 'The Straight Edge Superstar' had subsequently earned a rematch. Morrison retained the title with a cheap pinfall using the ropes as leverage in an okay encounter.

Triple H was given the megastar treatment in his entrance for his comeback match against King Booker (this would be Booker T's final WWE PPV appearance to this date), and he looked every inch the destroyer as he near-squashed the 6-time World Champion and 2006 King Of The Ring. Following this was the Great Khali's second PPV World Heavyweight title defence since his shock championship win earlier in the summer on SmackDown. Challenger Batista couldn't dethrone 'The Punjabi Punisher' in a horrible match, and Khali got himself intentionally DQ'd when he whacked 'The Animal' with a steel chair.

The night's main event was the match everyone was looking forward to, WWE Champion John Cena defending against Randy Orton. Cena won a very good match when he FU'd and pinned 'The Legend Killer', and Orton's three year quest to one day hold a World title again would have to wait another day.

Summerslam 2007 was largely a disappointment, with many of the undercard matches being pointless filler, and HHH's squash of Booker T was barely entertaining, either. The excellent main-event saved the show, though, and it made people want to see more of John Cena vs. Randy Orton. Not the best Summerslam ever, but it redeemed itself in the end.
