WWE SummerSlam Results

Results from tonight's SummerSlam show, a WWE pay-per-view show that I actually watched for a change:

- MVP beat Jeff Hardy. Shelton Benjamin caused a distraction at the end to set up the victory.

- Beth Phoenix and Santino Marella won the Women's Title and the I-C Title by beating Kofi Kingston and Mickie James when Beth pinned Mickie.

- Shawn Michaels came out with his wife presumably to announced his retirement. Chris Jericho interrupted. Michaels moved out of the way as he was about to get sucker punched by Jericho, but the punch ended up hitting Michaels' wife, knocking her to the mat. Poor Whisper. Good angle and good acting by everyone. HBK tended to his wife instead of going after Jericho.

- Matt Hardy beat Mark Henry by DQ in less than a minute. Thankfully they kept it short. Tony Atlas interferred and Jeff Hardy made the save. The Hardys aren't having much luck with the brothers tonight.

- C.M. Punk beat JBL to retain the Raw title in a decent match. A sigh of relief for JBL not getting the belt.

- Triple H beat The Great Khali. Next.

- Batista beat John Cena clean. Good back and forth match. Cena is officially a scrub.

- Undertaker beat Edge in a great Hell in the Cell match. At one point they knocked over a side of the cage and the action spilled outside. After Taker got the win, he went back into the cage and chokeslammed Edge off of a ladder and through the mat. Then flames came out of the hole. I guess he's never coming back.
