Right on the heels of a superb night in Los Angeles, SummerSlam, now etched into history, writes the next chapter for WWE, as Episode 1004 comes LIVE from Fresno, California, with a lot to be answered following an outstanding night of which was the 25th Anniversary of SummerSlam.

We saw Chris Jericho emphatically defeat Dolph Ziggler by making him tap out to the Walls of Jericho. It was a great finish to a great match, and immediately after, Dolph Ziggler used Tout to ask for a rematch. 
Will it be accepted? Could we see a sequel to the amazing match that started last night's PPV? What more must these athletes prove to establish that they can win the Big One? We will find out tonight.



Daniel Bryan got a shock victory over Kane last night at SummerSlam, which occurred when Kane was going for a Tombstone Piledriver of which was fuelled by a slap that Bryan gave Kane just moments earlier. Bryan reversed it into the roll up pin and got a victory before immediately fleeing the ring.
Kane was very angry from this, and as he stormed backstage in search of Daniel Bryan, Josh Matthews wanted a short interview, but Kane lashed out by throwing him into the crates. In reaction to this, the Raw General Manager, AJ (@WWEAJLee on Twitter) tweeted the following.
What will Kane's punishment be? And how will this rivalry continue? Where will Kane's destruction lead him to? And what is next for Daniel Bryan?



Also, last night we saw The Intercontinental Champion, The Miz, successfully ground Rey Mysterio to the extent of a successful title defence. Miz got the victory when Mysterio hit the 619, and when to the top rope for The Splash but missed. Then when both men regrouped, Rey Mysterio came running at The Miz who threw him into the air face first into the turnbuckle. Miz then finished off a dazed Rey Mysterio with the SkullCrushing Finale for the victory.
What is next for the Intercontinental Champion? And what will be next in Rey Mysterio's pursuit?


Kofi Kingston and R-Truth successfully defended their WWE Tag Team Titles, as they prevailed over the Prime Time Players, of who gave them a real challenge for the titles. The match was won when Kofi went high flying over the ropes to Titus O'Neil, as R-Truth looked on. Darren Young got a roll up pin from behind but R-Truth kicked out before a Lil Jimmy finisher to retain.
The competition in the Tag Team Division is sure to determine New No.1 Contenders, of course they could be the Prime Time Players. Kofi and Truth are at the top but for how long will they stay there?


Sheamus successfully defended his World Heavyweight Championship against Alberto Del Rio in controversial fashion. Following a very close contest, in order to give Del Rio an advantage, Ricardo Rodriguez got up upon the apron and threw a shoe to Del Rio, it fell to Sheamus instead. And with the referee's back turned, he was to throw it at Alberto's face followed by an Irish Curse, then a pinfall. Del Rio got his foot on the rope but the ref did not see and Sheamus took it off to retain his title.After the match Del Rio protested against the decision and to Booker T, and we received word that Booker will address it this Friday on SmackDown. But what about tonight? Will Del Rio take matters into his own hands? What is coming to Sheamus?


CM Punk may have earned the Respect he has been campaigning for after retaining his title in a Triple Threat match last night. The match reached its climax when Cena and Punk had submissions locked in on Big Show, who tapped. But there was no initial winner, so to sort the issue, the Raw GM, AJ Lee, restarted the match. Punk and Cena were furious of this decision and they turned around into Big Show who delivered an emphatic Double Chokeslam, but it was not enough to pin either of them. The match ended when Cena gave Big Show a huge Attitude Adjustment, and Punk threw Cena out the ring to pin Big Show and retain his title? Has CM Punk earned the respect of the WWE Universe? Who will be his next opponent? How will Cena recuperate after his defeat? And what is next for the World's Largest Athlete?


Brock Lesnar and Triple H collided in a huge main event, where it was The Perfect Storm coming to Play The Game. The stars were out to witness these two beasts go at it at the Biggest Event of the Summer. Both men looked in great shape and were ready to fight, and what a superb match they had. Both men showed incredible amounts of resilience, fighting through intense pain. The match concluded when Brock Lesnar was dishing out a beating to The Game,and it was furthermore painful as the referee was letting them fight. Triple H was on the end of a devastating F5, but he kicked out before moments later delivering his second Pedigree. He went for the pinfall but Lesnar locked him in the deadly Kimura Lock and had it tight, before breaking the arm once again of The Game and making him tap out. Brock Lesnar emphatically stood tall over The Game, before leaving the ring. We then saw Triple H resist medical attention for what almost indefinitely looked like a broken arm. He got up, looked at the fans who were chanting "YOU TAPPED OUT" and said he was sorry before walking up the ramp, and one question came to mind? Is it Game Over?

Will Triple H now retire? Is this too much for him to come back from? And the Perfect Storm maybe over, but where is Lesnar's destruction coming to next?



RAW TONIGHT:

Brock Lesnar will kick off the show, but what words will he have for the WWE Universe? Will he tell us what is next?
Also, will we see Triple H? And could it be Game Over?

Shawn Michaels will address last night's happenings via Satellite, he has spoken to Triple H on the phone, so does he have a message? 

Episode 1004 will answer many questions from last night's SummerSlam. And begin the new chapter of WWE.
