WWE Summerslam Results (8/23) – New Champions Crowned, Rollins vs Cena, Taker vs Lesnar!

Rusev (w/ Summer Rae) vs Dolph Ziggler (w/ Lana)

Dolph counters a backdrop with a dropkick, then Rusev slams him in the corner and applies a bearhug. Dolph gets slammed down again, then Rusev picks him up for a press slam but Dolph counters with a swinging DDT. They get back up and slug it out, then Dolph clotheslines him a few times and splashes him in the corner. Dolph hits a neckbreaker and hits an elbow drop for two, then Rusev knocks him back and tries to go up top. Dolph catches him with a facebuster but Rusev comes right back with a side throw and a somersault senton off the ropes. Rusev tries to slam him down but Dolph counters with a rollup, then Dolph applies a sleeperhold but Rusev reaches the ropes.

Dolph keeps the hold applied as Rusev backs away from the ropes, but Rusev slams him in the corner, only to have Dolph come back with a Famouser for two. Rusev counters an attack off the ropes with a thrust kick, then he stomps Dolph and applies the Accolade while Lana watches. Summer runs over and tries to hit her, but Lana lays her out with a slap and Rusev releases the hold. Rusev goes and yells at her and calls for the ref’s attention, then Dolph rolls outside and Rusev goes after him. Summer attacks Lana from behind as Dolph pops up and superkicks Rusev onto the table, but the ref counts them both out.  

Result – Double Countout

Dolph goes after Rusev but he gets whipped in the ring, and Rusev picks him up but Dolph tackles him and throws a few punches. Summer runs in and attacks him, but Lana runs in and pulls Summer’s hair and hits her a several times until they are pulled apart.

The crowd booed this one, and I don’t blame them. Dolph could have at least gotten the countout win, or something other than this. There was a better way to end tonight’s very good match, and continue this to next month, which is obviously happening.
