SummerSlam: CM Punk (C) Vs. John "Bradshaw" Layfield

By Raj Giri

The following is from our live coverage of WWE SummerSlam here at WrestlingINC.com:

World Heavyweight Championship Match
CM Punk (c) vs. John "Bradshaw" Layfield

Punk got the advantage early with a series of kicks and a dive onto JBL outside of the ring. He followed it up with a crossbody from the top rope inside the ring and got a two count. JBP then hit a shoulder tackle on Punk to gain the advantage. He then put Punk on the top rope and hit a fall away slam from the second rope for a two count.

This was a better match than I expected and the crowd stayed with it the entire way. At one point they bumped heads which busted the back of Punk's head open. The end of the match saw JBP go for a clothesline and Punk ducked, hit the GTS and got the clean pin. This is the first time Punk hasn't been treated like an unworthy champion on PPV since winning the title.

Winner via pinfall and still WWE Champion: CM Punk
