Alberto Del Rio is in the ring and he is about to announce the person he will face for the World Title at SummerSlam. Alberto says that he wants to start off by saying thank you . . . thank you for nothing. When he was champion before, the people did not support him. They did not want him to be their champion.
Alberto says that there is nothing that the people can do about him being champion. Alberto thanks one person. The person with vision and leadership. That person is Vickie Guerrero. John Cena was allowed to choose his opponent for SummerSlam and Vickie has allowed him to do the same thing. He wants everyone to cheer for Vickie.
John Cena wasted his pick by choosing that little troll Daniel Bryan. We all know that John Cena only did that because he is afraid of Alberto Del Rio. That is when Alberto started thinking. Why don’t you choose, the Beast . . . Brock Lesnar? It turns out that Lesnar has different plans for SummerSlam so that is his lost.
Why not go loco and give a shot to Houston’s own . . . Booker T? Alberto remembered that Booker, just like everything else to come out of Houston is a big disappointment. The person he chose deserved this opportunity more than anyone. He is one of the greatest athletes of all time. He is big, fast, strong, and vicious. He is the perfect opponent for Alberto Del Rio. That is why he is going to give this person his first opportunity to be World Champion.
