SummerSlam: John Cena vs. Batista

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

John Cena vs. Batista
Cena got the advantage early and the crowd booed. Later the crowd also booed when Batista gained the advantage, although they booed louder when Cena was on top.

Batista continued to pound on Cena and even went for a figure four, which was pretty ugly. Cena was able to get to the ropes and then got Batista in an FU and threw him over the top rope to the outside. Cena sold the effects of the figure four until Batista got back in the ring. Crowd is now solidly booing Cena as he went for the five knuckle shuffle, which he hit. As he went for the FU, Batista got out of it and hit Cena with a boot to the face.

Cena was later able to regain the advantage and locked in an STFU. Cena held it in for several minutes before Batista made it to the ropes. It's interesting that the crowd is booing Cena, but they're not cheering Batista either.

Cena later went for an FU again but Batista was able to transition it into a rear naked choke. Cena was able to get out and Batista nailed him with a spear for a two count. He went for a bodyslam, but Cena reversed it and hit a FU, but was slow to cover Batista and only got a two count as well. The crowd is on their feet at this point.

Cena went to the top rope and Batista climbed the ropes and they exchanged punches, which eventually knocked Batista to the mat. Cena came off the top but Batista caught Cena in a powerbomb and was only able to get a two count. Great false finish. He then kicked Cena and hit a Batista bomb for a clean pin. Interestingly Cena has jobbed at 5 of the last 7 pay per views. Seems strange that Cena is jobbing this much and there might be more to this story.

Winner via pinfall: Batista
