World Heavyweight Champion: CM Punk vs. John "Bradshaw" Layfield (Non-Title, Regular Match)
There was a lot of close pinfalls and I think the real winner should be John "Bradshaw" Layfield because he was dominating throughout the match. But, World Heavyweight Champion: CM Punk defended John "Bradshaw" Layfield at SummerSlam, 2008 and here tonight. World Heavyweight Champion: CM Punk locked the Go To Sleep (GTS) on John "Bradshaw" Layfield picking up the win.
