Laredo Kid vs. Penta – WWE World Heavyweight Championship #1 Contender's Match
This is the meat of the card. Laredo Kid brings the AAA pedigree and legitimate claim; Penta brings the fanbase and the mystique. Winner earns their shot at whoever's holding the strap next, and both men have something to prove in the post-SummerSlam shuffle. The stipulation matters here—this isn't a nothing match.
WAW Pick: Penta advances, probably via interference or some chaos that sets up a larger angle.
Nick Aldis makes a surprise appearance to address his SummerSlam loss and potentially confront someone on Raw, given that Mickie James has been actively campaigning for his next opponent publicly. The man doesn't disappear quietly, and WWE loves a Monday Night moment.
