Jeff Hardy vs. MVP
Jim Ross noted that this was Hardy's first SummerSlam in seven years, since 2001. He had to sit out last year's event due to his first Wellness Program suspension.

The two brawled early until MVP gained an advantage until Jeff Hardy charged MVP, and MVP caught Hardy in a belly to belly suplex into the corner. MVP then worked Hardy over with a myriad of submission holds.

MVP continued to dominate the match until he went for his kick and Hardy countered with a clothesline. Hardy continued to dominate and went for the swanton when Shelton Benjamin ran to ringside. Hardy nailed Benjamin outside the ring and went for the swanton again on MVP, but MVP rolled out of the way and hit his kick to Hardy's head to get the win.

Winner by pinfall: MVP
