SUMMERSLAM, Year 1

Raw and Superstars partner up to deliver a great PPV. With either Chris Jericho or Kurt Angle cash in their title shots?

Match 1. Razor Ramon vs. Ricky Steamboat   Intercontinental Championship
Razor dragged Steamboat around the ring, but Ricky came back with a flying head scissors. Back in the ring, Steamboat lifted Razor up for a double underhook face buster and almost won the title. Razor tossed Steamboat into the corner and then hit the Razor's Edge to retain. He's too good.

Match 2. Eddie Guerrero vs. Dolph Ziggler   United States Championship
This is another match in a long line of matches I wish could happen in real life. Eddie stomped on Ziggler's face and then hit a sit-out powerbomb. Ziggler slammed Eddie through the announce table and then did a handstand. Eddie came back with a rolling heel kick. Eddie was on the top rope, but Ziggler knocked him down and landed a superplex to win back the US title.

Match 3. The Millionaires vs. New Age Outlaws   Tag Team Championship
After weeks of trading wins, it all comes down to this. All four men fought on the outside. JBL brought in the steel steps. He and DiBiase hit Road Dogg with a spear/clothesline combo. The Outlaws went for a double gutbuster, but JBL broke it up. DiBiase tossed Gunn into the corner, but Gunn moved out of the way. He went for a punch, but DiBiase rolled up Gunn to retain the titles.

Match 4. Submission - CM Punk vs. Ric Flair
The Anaconda Vice vs. Figure Four. Flair, no surprise, worked over the legs of Punk. Punk left the ring and took apart the announce table. He put Flair through it with a German suplex. Punk then hit the GTS. Flair poked the eyes of Punk and hit him below the belt. After hitting a bulldog, Punk made Flair tap from the Anaconda Vice.

Match 5. The Hardyz vs. Antonio Cesaro and Drew McIntyre
The Hardyz hit McIntyre with double elbows and flipping sentons. They later hit him with Poetry in Motion. R-Truth made an appearance and hit Drew with the Lie Detector. Drew came back and hit Matt with Future Shock. Cesaro finally came in and tossed Jeff into the corner. Jeff rolled him up and got the win.

Match 6. Undertaker vs. Alberto Del Rio   AWA Championship
Del Rio wasted little time getting weapons. He went to pull out a chair, but Taker DDT'd him through the announce table. Del Rio got up and went for the arm breaker, but Taker countered it. He landed the Tombstone in the ring, but Del Rio reached the ropes at the last second. Del Rio reversed a chokeslam. Taker caught him again and landed the chokeslam to retain the title.

Main Event. Randy Savage vs. Brock Lesnar   WWE Championship
Savage targeted the head of Lesnar with fist and knee drops. After a couple of near falls, Lesnar tossed Macho Man over his head with a fall away slam. He landed a release belly-to-back suplex and got a near fall. Lesnar then lifted the champ up and hit the F5 to win the title again.

Recap: Razor has been a dominant champion since I began. I don't know how JBL and DiBiase keep winning like this. Brock closes this PPV as champion...again. Will Savage get another rematch on Raw?
