Summer Slam 2009 Updates

I have to admit, I do LOVE this poster

SummerSlam will take place on August 23, 2009 at Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.
Unless something happens, here is the current line up of matches....

Randy Orton (champion) versus John Cena in a singles match for the WWE Championship.
Chris Jericho and The Big Show (champions) versus Cryme Tyme (Shad Gaspard and JTG) in a Tag Team match for the Unified WWE Tag Team Championship
Rey Mysterio (champion) versus Dolph Ziggler in a singles match for the WWE Intercontinental Championship
Jeff Hardy (champion) versus CM Punk in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match for the World Heavyweight Championship. I kinda expect Jeff to lose since this is probably his last match for the WWE.
D-Generation X (Triple H and Shawn Michaels) versus The Legacy (Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase) in a Tag Team match
The Great Khali versus Kane in a singles match
Jack Swagger versus Montel Vontavious Porter in a singles match
Christian (champion) versus William Regal in a singles match for the ECW Championship

Also, this will probably be Lilian Garcia's last event.
That really makes me sad.

And so far no WWE Diva's match for SummerSlam
