WWE SummerSlam Results August 20th 2017, Full Show Match Updates and Video Highlights

MAIN CARD

John Cena vs Baron Corbin

The leader of the Cenation kicks off SummerSlam. It truly wouldn't be SummerSlam without Big Match John. But he's gone 6 straight years of SummerSlam defeats. Was 2017 the year the streak ended?

The crowd started taunting Corbin by chanting "Let's go briefcase". Cena slid out of the ring and talked to JBL and told him that "the kid is shook". He put on his cowboy hat to a huge pop. The crowd was in full "Let's go Cena, Cena sucks" mode. Corbin slid under the ring ropes and quickly around the ring followed by a great clothesline to the Sixteen-time World Champion. Corbin was completely angry and completely frustrated and he did a good job of selling that.

He slowed down the pace when he started shouting at the crowd. The crowd responded with chants of "Let's go briefcase". Cena started firing back but missed his five knuckle shuffle. Corbin hit a chokeslam-like maneuver but the back lands on the knee, a very impressive news. The leader of the Cenation battled Corbin on the top turnbuckle and knocked him down, landing a jumping DDT. He landed the five-knuckle shuffle the second time around but failed to hit the AA as Corbin countered with a deep six.

Corbin attempted a 3rd baseball slide around the ringpost but was met with a strong clothesline. John Cena then hit the AA and won. His 6-year SummerSlam losing streak is finally over.
