United States Champion Apollo Crews def. MVP (Kickoff Match)
MVP and The Hurt Business have made life difficult for Apollo Crews in recent weeks, but Crews put the hurt on MVP on the SummerSlam Kickoff to retain the United States Championship.
With Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin banned from ringside, "The CEO of The Hurt Business" found himself in unfamiliar territory without being able to lean on his backup. Though MVP slowed the action to a more methodical pace momentarily, Crews used heightened aggression to counter MVP's Playmaker attempt into a toss powerbomb for the victory.
Lashley and Benjamin hit the ring immediately after the bell, but Crews craftily evaded their grasp, United States Title in tow.
