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

Kevin Owens vs Cesaro 

Owens and Cesaro trade strikes before Cesaro whips Owens in the corner, but Owens avoids a splash and hits a spinning neckbreaker for two. Owens slams into Cesaro again and hits him a few more times, then Cesaro catches him with some uppercuts and calls for a Neutralizer. Owens backdrops him and Cesaro charges the corner, but Owens hits a springboard DDT for two before reversing a whip by Cesaro with a superkick. Owens gets angered by the near fall but whips Cesaro to set up a pop-up powerbomb, but Cesaro rebounds off the ropes with a rolling uppercut. 

Owens rolls outside but Cesaro chases him and uppercuts him into the barricade, then rolls him in and get him in the Cesaro Swing. Cesaro sets Owens up on the ropes but Owens shoves him back, then Owens punches him a few times and attempts a cradle driver off the turnbuckles. Cesaro stops and dropkicks him, then tries to climb back up but Owens crotches him on the ropes and throws him back, then hits a pop-up powerbomb for the win.

Winner – Kevin Owens

This was a hard hitting match, but I’m actually surprised at how quiet the crowd came across. It wasn’t a spot-filled match, but I still felt like the noise took away from an otherwise good match. Owens picks up a much needed win here (IMO), but Cesaro should be able to regroup soon enough. Wouldn’t mind seeing them face off again, but with Night of Champions up next, we’ll see.
