Jack Swagger def. Cesaro; Flag Match Made for SummerSlam
Just four days after an explosive encounter with Rusev on Raw, Jack Swagger went head-to-head with his former Real American tag team partner Cesaro in SmackDown's opening bout.
After a hard-hitting battle against The Swiss Superman that saw The Real American make his foreign-born opponent tap to the Patriot Lock, Lana and Rusev arrived with the Russian flag in tow. The Ravishing Russian challenged Swagger to a Flag Match at SummerSlam, to which the patriotic Zeb Colter not only heartily accepted on behalf of the former World Champion, but also in the name of Real Americans everywhere. "We The People!"
Randy Orton challenged Roman Reigns to a match at SummerSlam
On the heels of delivering one of the most brutal beatings in WWE history, Randy Orton dared Roman Reigns to step inside the ring with The Viper at SummerSlam. With the black-clad Superstar likely still feeling the effects from arguably the worst thrashing of his young career, the question now is, will Reigns rise up to The Apex Predator's challenge?
R-Truth def. Bo Dallas by Disqualification
The delusional Bo Dallas was disqualified after he refused to stop his attack by the referee's five-count, continuing to viciously assault his opponent well after the match concluded.
AJ Lee def. Rosa Mendes
Divas Champion AJ Lee made quick work of Rosa Mendes, forcing the newest cast member of "Total Divas" to tap out to the Black Widow within seconds.
Seth Rollins & Kane def. Dean Ambrose by Disqualification
Amid a heated Handicap Match against Seth Rollins & Kane, Dean Ambrose decided to even the odds with a steel chair. Despite getting disqualified, The Lunatic Fringe got oh-so-close to finally getting sweet justice against his former "Shield" brother. Although Mr. Money Back successfully retreated, the Demon Kane was not as lucky, receiving a steel chair beat down from the fired-up former United States Champion.
Diego def. Fandango
In the end, a ringside triple tango involving the sultry Divas and El Torito distracted the fleet-footed Fandango long enough to allow Diego to pick up the victory.
Alberto Del Rio def. Dolph Ziggler
After the Mexican Superstar forced a fallen Ziggler to tap to his Cross Armbreaker submission, a gleeful Miz returned to make sure his embattled rival could get a good look at his "Moneymaker."
Chris Jericho def. Erick Rowan
With the stakes increased, the Ayatollah of Rock 'n' Rolla battled The Wyatt Family follower blow for blow, eventually landing the knockout strike in the form of a Codebreaker.
