Heat tonight comes from our nations capital, Washington DC.  As usual, calling the action are Jonathan Coachman and Al "No, not the genie pants again!" Snow.  I'm Doug and this is the Wrestling Informer Sunday Night Heat recap.  And now, it's time to turn up the Heat!
 
Val Venis versus Stevie Richards
"I'll show you!  You'll see!"  The boss of Sunday Night Heat, Stevie Richards opens up the show against former IC and tag champion, Val Venis.  Val starts off strong by working on the arm of the Sunday Night Heat GM.  A few assorted kicks and fists, but the ex-porn star is controlling the arm.  Stevie hits a "hot-shot" and takes control.  Several kicks and a neckbreaker by Stevie, then moving into a choke and a baseball slide for good measure.  Stevie plex and the Heat boss gets two. Another neckbreaker and Stevie locks Val in a combination chinlock / body scissors.  Val elbows and chops his way out and rolls up Stevie for two. Knee and clothesline by Val followed by a suplex for two.  Stevie fights back with some kicks and knees, but Val lands a Spinebuster out of nowhere.  Slam by Val and he heads to the top for the money shot.
Winner: Val Venis
 
WWE STING OF THE NIGHT:  From Raw on Monday night, Triple H cuts a terrific promo and tells the world, and Eugene just how much he really hates him.
 
Back to Monday night and Batista versus World Champion Chris Benoit.  We join the match in progress.  Batista lands a Spinebuster and pounds away at Benoit's head.  Batista ties Benoit up in the ropes and kicks away at the head of the champ. The refs call for the bell and Batista is disqualified.  Winner: Chris Benoit  But Batista is not done as he plants Benoit one more time with a powerbomb for good measure.  We see some shots of the refs helping Benoit to the back.
 
Tomorrow night on Raw - 60 Minute "Iron Man" Match for the World Heavyweight Championship.  World Champion Chris Benoit defends against Triple H.
 
The official song of Summerslam is "Summertime Blues" by RUSH.  
 
Back to Monday night again as Chris Jericho has all the Diva wannabes as his guests on the Highlight Reel.  They jump and jiggle and introduce themselves.  Y2J sends them into Eric Bischoff's office to hunt for an "Immunity Envelope".  They trash the office and Eric Bischoff is totally PO'ed.  The wannabes rat out Jericho as Bischoff throws them out of his totally wrecked office.  Cut to:  Chris Jericho versus Kane in a "No DQ - Falls Count Anywhere" match.  Kane and Jericho are fighting in the crowd.  Jericho drops Kane with a drop toehold and then hits him with a camera crane. Jericho looks ready to win, but here comes Batista.  Batista slams Y2J into the barrier and then levels him with a clothesline.  Kane crawls over and picks up the win.  Winner: Kane
 
We get treated to some shots from the WWE house show events in Wilkes Barrie, PA, Reading, PA & Frederick, MD from last weekend.  Nothing beats Raw live. Remember that!
 
Maven versus Chuck Palumbo
Chuck slaps.  Maven punches.  And the battle is on.  Chuck lands a stiff knee and some shoulders to Maven.  Maven hits a dropkick for two.  Chuck goes to the eyes.  Maven hits an elbow.  A big kick by Chuck sends Maven to the floor. Chuck gets two.  Knee by Palumbo, followed by a suplex for two.  Chuck clinches in a neck-vive and then moves into a camel clutch locked in on the former Tough Enough star.  Maven escapes and the two young lions trade kicks and forearms. Maven hits a Spinebuster and goes for a crossbody from the top.  Chuck rolls on through for two.  Maven scores a roll-up and gets the pin.
Winner: Maven
 
WWE SLAM OF THE WEEK:  From Vengeance, Edge defeats Randy Orton for the WWE Intercontinental Championship.
 
Back to Monday again as Edge defends his newly won title against the former champ Randy Orton.  Joined in progress, we see Edge score a dropkick for two. Edge goes for a crossbody but takes out the ref by mistake as Orton ducks out of the way.  Randy gets the eyes and goes for a chair.  Spear by Edge, but there is no ref.  Orton lands a low blow and hits the RKO for a very slow two count.  Another spear by Edge for two.  Edge uses a backslide to roll up Orton and uses the ropes for leverage to get the tainted win.  Winner and still Intercontinental Champion: Edge.
 
The WWE wants you to buy Ric Flair's book "To Be A Man".  It's on sale everywhere and I've read it.  It is incredible.  Buy it!  Read it!  And you'll never, ever regret it!  
 
Victoria versus Jazz
Jazz starts off working on the arm of Victoria. Victoria reverses and they go back and forth for a bit.  The ladies trade knees and kicks and Victoria gets splatted by Jazz hard on the mat.  Jazz uses kicks and elbows to get a couple of two counts. Jazz locks up Victoria with a combination bridge-chinlock.  Big slam by Jazz for another two. Victoria rolls up Jazz for two and then does it again for another two. Victoria slams Jazz who rolls to the floor.  Victoria attempts a crossbody to the floor on to Jazz, but no one is home and Victoria just crashes and burns, hitting the floor hard.  The ref is counting and Jazz is in the ring.  Victoria's "mystery friend" (that everyone except Al & Coach realizes is Stevie Richards) comes in the ring and nails Jazz. She's down and out.  Victoria crawls into the ring and gets the pin.
Winner: Victoria
