Here are my takes for Summerslam:

* Michaels announces that he will continue wrestling - my take is that later he will have a retirement stipulation in his Wrestlemania 25 match against Undertaker, which Undertaker will obviously win and that would stop the show of the show-stopper just like the show-stopper stopped the show of Flair at Wrestlemania 24.

* Beth Phoenix and Santino Marella defeat Mickie James and Kofi Kingston - Beth deserves to be women's champion though Santino doesn't deserve anything, but since they have a new relationship and story coming up, I guess it will gain some mileage if they win.

* Jeff Hardy defeats MVP - Jeff is becoming one of the most popular stars of the current WWE roster and he is considered to be the future along with Cena and Batista once the likes of Undertaker, Michaels, Kane and HHH retire. So I guess Jeff will definitely win this one. Unless Jeff is injured and needs time off - in that case there could be some interference which allows MVP to win.

* Mark Henry defeats Matt Hardy - I guess this feud is just a filler-feud until somebody else is ready to take the title from Henry. So my take is that Henry will retain the title (or Hardy could win via disqualification so that the title still remains with Henry).

* CM Punk defeats JBL - this might also be a filler-feud until one of Cena or Batista win the title from Punk.

* HHH vs Khali - as much as I want to say that Khali will win it because he did so last year too at almost the same time, I feel that HHH will win this one. HHH is likely to turn heel soon as per what Smackdown storyline writer Michael Hayes had wished, and that might result in a short rivalry between HHH and Undertaker - but it will not go until Wrestlemania because Undertaker vs HHH at Wrestlemania has happened before. When Undertaker wins the title from HHH (maybe at Survivor series because that is where he won his first title) and the rivalry is over, it will be time for Undertaker to feud with Shawn (perhaps Shawn will win the Rumble and challenge Undertaker, later Vince will put a retirement stipulation into the match). Undertaker will continue to have a long title reign.

* John Cena vs Batista - Cena has lost a couple of PPV matches in this year, whereas Batista had won his last match against Shawn MIchaels. I don't see this feud ending right now because it would be worthless to schedule this match. If Cena wins this, then Batista might get his victory later in a re-match on some other PPV. If Cena has to go for shooting his new movie, then Batista might win. I don't see interference in this match because it is highly anticipated. I think that the WWE wants to increase viewer-rating so they are making the best guys feud now instead of having the Edges on top. Therefore a Cena vs Batista feud on Raw and a Undertaker vs HHH short-feud on Smackdown might be required to pull the business up. Cena vs Batista might also go until Wrestlemania 25.

Undertaker vs Edge - :-) I have already written another blog on this - please read that one.

I do hope to see the masked Kane come out to help Undertaker this time instead of beating him, in case Umaga or some other wrestler interferes in the ring (Edge could have Umaga or Kozlov hidden in the ring because he has had sufficient time to prepare for the match). If Mick Foley makes an appearance like being the special guest referee, nothing like it.
