SummerSlam kicked off with the heavily anticipated Cruiserweight Title Match between six worthy competitors hand-selected by Roose. Roose kicked off the show standing at the stage with the same scale X-Pac had been taunting Rob Van Dam with. Coming out first was Sin Cara, who weighed in at 180 pounds. Next out was Rey Mysterio, weighing in at 168 pounds. He was followed by Justin Gabriel (213), X-Pac (200) and Christian (212). RVD’s music hit and the place erupted. RVD slowly walked to the scale and put one foot on it while the crowd anxiously waited. After stepping fully on, RVD weighed in at 224 pounds, just under the limit.
The match was able to get underway for all six men. About five minutes in, we had our first elimination. Gabriel was rolled up in the middle of the chaos by Sin Cara and eliminated just like that. He argued with the ref but was sent to the back. Sin Cara’s early luck run out right away as X-Pac landed and X-Factor and pinned him for the elimination.
