WWE Summerslam 2013 Review
It’s my last Summerslam review and to be honest, I couldn’t be happier! I love Summerslam, I really do but I’ve digested too much of it in the past 4 weeks but I end on a good one; 2013! The 2013 Summerslam was one of the best of all time in my opinion so let’s jump into it!
The Miz kicks off the show as he is the host of this year’s Summerslam. He cuts a promo before getting interrupted by Fandango who dances with Summer Rae. After saying “really?” a few times, a video package plays hyping up the show.

Bray Wyatt Vs. Kane (Ring Of Fire)
This was Bray Wyatt’s first WWE match and I remember this. I loved this period of Bray Wyatt, the cult gimmick was so intriguing and it really was a let down when Bray Wyatt lost to John Cena at Wrestlemania 30, 8 months later. Every time there was a slam to the canvas, the flames came shooting up! The match ended when Luke Harper and Erick Rowan covered the fire with a towel and entered the ring and took Kane down. This allowed Wyatt to nail Kane with the sister Abigail for the win. After the match, The Wyatt family carry Kane before squashing his head between stairs and then carried him backstage.
Thoughts: I really enjoyed this. The Wyatt Family were very intriguing and you can’t get enough of them and wonder what they’ll do next.

Cody Rhodes Vs. Damien Sandow
Sandow came out with his customised money in the bank briefcase - I miss that. Sandow as Mr. Money In The Bank was a wasted opportunity. I really wish the briefcase was on the line, it would make so much sense. This was a decent match, nothing special but it was okay. Cody Rhodes won the match.
Thoughts: This was fine. Still think the briefcase should’ve been on the line but whatever.

Alberto Del Rio (C) Vs. Christian (World Heavyweight Championship)
I actually thought this was a really good match! Christian has always been underrated but I think these two had a great match. The crowd was so into Christian winning but unfortunately that did not happen as Alberto Del Rio retained with the cross arm breaker from out of nowhere.
Thoughts: Like I stated, this was a really good match and I’m happy with this.

Natalya Vs. Brie Bella
This was a short match but was actually quite decent in that short time period. The crowd chanted “JBL”, “Michael Cole” and even “Jerry” which was slightly disappointing as the match was good. Natalya slammed Brie down and out her in the sharpshooter for the win.
Thoughts: This didn’t sound too good but was actually a fun 5 minute match.
We see Ryback bully a member of catering backstage.

Brock Lesnar Vs. CM Punk (No Disqualification)
It’s The Best vs. The Beast and I was a big fan of this rivalry and the feud ended with a great match as well. This was one of the best Summerslam matches in recent memory. The match ended with an F5 onto a chair.
Thoughts: This was a fantastic match between the two men! A brutal match with fantastic storytelling!

Dolph Ziggler & Kaitlyn Vs. Big E Langston & AJ Lee
This was not a bad mixed tag team match. I liked the AJ Lee & Ziggler partnership but I didn’t like the feud after and this is a part of the feud after. It was Dolph Ziggler who picked up the win for himself and Kaitlyn.
Thoughts: This wasn’t anything special but fun while it lasted.

John Cena (C) Vs. Daniel Bryan (WWE Championship)
This match lasted a while! It went on for a solid half an hour and it was a great match! This was fantastic and it was the end of Daniel Bryan’s road to the top.
Thoughts: I’m really happy with how this Summerslam ended! Daniel Bryan beating John Cena was the ending of the underdog story and I so happy for Bryan.

Daniel Bryan (C) Vs. Randy Orton (WWE Championship)
Randy Orton cashed in his briefcase after Triple H pedigreed Daniel Bryan. Randy Orton pinned Daniel Bryan to become new WWE champion.
Thoughts: I can’t really comment on this as a match as it was 8 seconds but I was shocked when I first saw this moment!
Overall Thoughts: This was a great Summerslam that ended shockingly! It was filled with great matches especially the Lesnar/Punk match and the main event. I think the world heavyweight championship match was good too. This was my last Summerslam to review and it was a great one!
Rating: 8.5/10
