Zack Ryder vs Curtis Axel (w/ Paul Heyman)
Zack goes for a quick rollup before taking Axel down with a hiptoss, then Axel tells the ref to back him away and elbows him in the face. Zack comes back with some right hands and an elbow, then he goes for a crossbody but Axel ducks, so Zack flapjacks him for a two count. Axel goes outside and runs around the ring, then he stomps Zack on the way in and goes for a suplex. Zack floats over and punches him, then he hits a middle rope dropkick and a flying forearm before setting up the Broski Boot. Axel rolls outside but Zack follows and kicks him in the head, then he rolls him in and goes for a top rope crossbody. Axel ducks and kicks him in the back, then he hits a belly-to-belly suplex and a neckbreaker for the win.
Winner – Curtis Axel
Heyman gets in the ring and hands Axel his championship, then he grabs a mic and says he got outsmarted by CM Punk on RAW last week. He says congratulations to Punk because he pulled off the impossible, and Punk surprised them and smashed Brock Lesnar in the face with a camera. Heyman says Summerslam has great publicity this year, but Punk is now a target and he will get vengeance in the form of the beast, Brock Lesnar.
No Disqualification
Daniel Bryan vs Wade Barrett
Bryan kicks Wade in the corner before sweeping his legs, then he puts him in a deathlock variation before stomping his calves and whipping him into the ropes. Wade knees him and sends him into the corner, then he stomps him a few times and whips him, but Bryan runs up the turnbuckles and dropkicks him. He sends Wade outside and goes for a suicide dive, but Wade avoids it and whips him into the barricade before going for a big boot. Bryan ducks it and kicks Wade over the barricade, then he slides a table in the ring but Wade hits him from behind and throws him into the broadcast table. (Cont'd…)
