New World Heavyweight Champion? YES! YES! YES! The Official SummerSlam 2013 Thread
 

Getting this started early today. Super pumped for SummerSlam tonight. Hopefully it'll be as good as we're all wanting it to be.

I just woke up....holy shit.

Thread title needs a fix to "New World Heavyweight Champion? YES! YES! YES!"

WE THE PEEP-LE!

New wwe champion. Randy Orton after cashing in on John Cena after he successfully defends the belt.

I'm done. Look forward to tpww spazz outs if Bryan doesn't win though.

This has been my contribution to the thread for the evening, since I will miss Summerslam live.

Genuinely hope that's the outcome.

10 Bucks Darren is on the Pre-Show announce team.

Just repped the shit out of Lock Jaw up in here.

Just saw the preview for it, apparently he wont be

Going to Hooters with some friends... bringing my Christian shirt to start, CM Punk shirt next, followed by a Daniel Bryan shirt. I'm a dork, but it entertains my friends. Looking forward to tonight... I'll settle for just Christian winning haha.

i'll be laying in bed wearing my goldberg hat and nwo boxers. i will slowly transition to wearing nothing but the hat.

Upon Which head will the Goldberg hat be placed? :naughty:

$2.99/min to find out

American Dragon!

I'm apparently in the minority looking forward to the ring of fire match. Mainly because I can't really see either guy winning it cleanly so I'm interested to see what's going to happen.

I think people are just disappointed it's not an inferno match. Having fire just for the look of it is cool, but would be cooler to set Kane on fire. Follow the Buzzards!

As for everything else, I was looking forward to the Big E vs Ziggler match when it first became apparent they'd have a match but the addition of AJ and Kaitlyn and the heat just kinda dying down recently has me pretty "meh" about it now.

Christian vs ADR should be a fun match. Not as sold as everyone else on ADR being a lock to win. I can see Sandow cashing in afterward and they would probably wanna have him do it on a face/get heat for ruining Christian's moment.

I can't see any way, screwjob or not, that John Cena walks away with the title. It's gonna be one of those smark crowd, true hostile "if Cena wins we riot" crowds ala vs. RVD at One Night Stand and vs. Punk at MITB and they tend to always go with the Cena loss in those situations. Unless they have some major turn planned to make the moment more memorable, I can't see Orton just cashing in and taking the title from Bryan afterward either.

Call 1-900-909-9900!

I am gonna say it again... Cena taps... Orton tries cash in and gets screwed by Vince... new Corp. Champ!!!

any of y'all out there want to hook the king up with a stream?

preshow at 6?

7pm EST

ok yeah that's 6 for me perfect thanks dog

Cena's injury may throw a spanner into the works here, but I could see Triple H screwing Daniel Bryan and John Cena and then Orton cashing in on Cena and Night of Champions featuring Orton defending the WWE Title against Cena and Daniel Bryan challenging Triple H as a "double main event."

If Bryan loses (which we know he will) we riot!!

Just don't see Cena walking out with the title tonight. Given his elbow injury and supposed needed surgery, I just can't see him leaving SummerSlam with the gold. It just depends on how it goes down.

First time in i can't remember how long that i'm actually ordering a WWE event.

Another scenario I kind of like:

Early in the night we go backstage and discover that Randy Orton has been laid out and attacked by someone. He is being taken into an ambulance. Daniel Bryan beats John Cena in epic fashion with either the Yes Lock or the Regal Stretch. Before he celebrates, though, he starts his "NO!" shtick and grabs a mic and essentially states he knows that Orton is faking and is waiting to pounce, so "come on, Randy. Let's do this." Everyone seems surprised, but sure enough, Orton's theme hits and Mr. Money in the Bank slyly makes his way out with an evil smirk on his face. JBL tells Bryan to "Get out of there! He can't cash in if you're not there." Bryan stays and fights. Orton attacks Bryan and the match is on.

After ten minutes of Orton looking like he has Bryan beat, Randy hits the RKO, but Bryan kicks out at a two count to Orton's surprise. Orton amps up the attack, but he gets caught with a roll-up and Bryan pins Orton to retain the WWE Championship.

No one has defeated a Money in the Bank Winner during a cash-in, especially after such a hard fought match. Beating Cena by submission would be impressive, but beating Cena and Orton in the same night? That would take Bryan to a whole different level. Orton wouldn't really get hurt. They can say he was certain he had Bryan beat. Putting the briefcase on Orton was kind of a bizarre move anyway. For Bryan's next opponent, the obvious choice would be the winner of the Punk vs. Lesnar match. But I guess you could also do something like have Bryan challenge the winner of Alberto Del Rio vs. Christian -- not to unify the championships permanently, but just have Bryan carry around two titles until Bryan's next feud (maybe even Orton) attacks Bryan and allows Sandow to cash-in and become World Heavyweight Champion.

You could also do the attack on Orton and actually have him absence from the main event picture. Maybe Ryback could be behind it, since he could use someone to actually feud with. Bryan then beats Cena and it's business as usual.

Come on Cena/Orton

There.

If Orton cashes in successfully, I think it needs to be done cleverly. Otherwise Bryan or Cena is going to look like an idiot since it's been so telegraphed. Triple H will need to be in on it. Maybe The Shield could attack both Cena and Bryan after the match to ensure a successful cash-in? I guess Triple H could be involved in that beat-down, too, if he wants to remain a babyface. The Shield could then face Cena, Bryan & Triple H down the line.

Is Ryback even on the card?

No.

my predictions:

*Pre-Show: Ambrose over RVD via Shield shenanigans, triple threat tag added to ppv

*Lesnar over Punk via Axel/Heyman shenanigans

*Bryan over Cena via SUBMISSION

*Orton over Bryan via heel turn (HHH, Vince or both)

*Christian over Del Rio

*Sandow over Rhodes

*Show/RVD/Show over The Shield

*Wyatt over Kane

*Brie over Natalya

*Langston/AJ over Ziggler/Kaitlyn

;)

Isn't Van Dam billed from Battle Creek Michigan? Why do they keep referring to LA as his hometown?

He lives there now....

Why is Vickie there? I thought Natalya was the third person on the kickoff panel?

punk/lesnar no dq is nice

HBK looks fuckin' awesome right now, like he wants to hunt and drop kick things. Good evening peeps

lmao Kaitlyn isn't interview on Venice Beach!

PEEPS UNITED!

There are a lot of shady folks in the U.S.

I remember the story about how Piper got stabbed by a fan once.

Heisenberg. Join me and Ron the dial in casual forum!

Also does anyone have a stream please? First row is blocked in the uk now

rvd very plain tights tonight

WAIT

Ambrose is NOT wearing a shirt under his vest

check ur rep, snog

If it does, then my first prediction is correct

Also WTF no commercial breaks should be allowed on the pre-show during matches

I'm the only person who went for Cena in tipsters. You're all going down

HBK is joining the Wyatts

Tout is the poor man's Vine

Ring of Fire jerking the curtain?

Fuck you poll.

Shouldn't they wait to light the fire until AFTER Kane & Wyatt are in the ring?

Well they need to test it.

No, the winner is whoever can get into the ring first

also poit, check ur rep

Good idea to start it with the ring of fire, good visual to get the crowd going and only have to make one buffer time to take down the strucute.

I don't like Miz's theme
