Every Match From WWE SummerSlam 2016 Ranked - From Worst To Best

11. Intercontinental Title: The Miz (c) Vs. Apollo Crews

Randy Orton RKO Brock Lesnar SummerSlam 2016

Result: Miz lands the Skull-Crushing Finale for the win (5:45).

Rating: In honesty, this one didn't really touch the sides at all, and felt like pure TV fodder. There was little interesting ring-wise and the result didn't do much for anyone, because Crews needs the rub if he's going to move forward in WWE, and Miz is a boring IC champion who should've lost the strap ages ago.

It's hard to call the match outright bad, but it's just utterly mediocre and forgettable for a stage like this, and there was nothing here more electrifying than Maryse's attire. The PPV equivalent of white noise: inoffensive (hence why it ranks just above the Tag Title match) but utterly unengaging.

5/10
