Finally after supposedly being shafted by the WWE again and again, R-Truth got his shot at John Cena’s WWE Championship in the main event of Capitol Punishment. The two superstars battled in a back-and-forth affair as the crowd, filled with all the Little Jimmies that fuel R-Truth’s insanity, chanting at the top of their lungs. The Truth came close to winning the WWE Title from Cena multiple times during the match. R-Truth hit Cena with all of his finishing moves, but to no avail. In all his frustration, R-Truth decided to play some mind games on his opponent. Truth made his way up to a Little Jimmy sitting in the front row wearing a whole set of John Cena merchandise. R-Truth took the Little Jimmy’s Cena hat and put it on. Then he took the fans drink and took a slip. When Truth tried to hand the drink back to Little Jimmy, he threw the drink in R-Truth’s face. That little incident gave John Cena enough time to hit the Attitude Adjustment on Truth to pick up the victory. Thus ending the Truth’s one and so far only chance at the WWE Championship.
Well Capitol Punishment was not what anybody would consider an amazing PPV, but it was pretty good show nonetheless. Compared to the garbage that was last month’s Over the Limit, Capitol Punishment is a considerably better PPV. Capitol Punishment had its fair share of good and bad moments. For every horrible fake US President Obama segment, there was a match like CM Punk vs. Rey Mysterio to make up for it. As the official start to the WWE’s summer, Capitol Punishment got the WWE off on the right foot. As a whole, Capitol Punishment was a mixed bag. This PPV does not truly excel in one area, but it has enough good to great moments to deserve to be watched at least once.

Overall, WWE Capitol Punishment was a good PPV. Coming off a PPV like Over the Limit 2011, anything from the WWE could be considered better. With Capitol Punishment, the WWE gets back on track with putting on quality PPVs. By no means should you rush out of your way to put down money for Capitol Punishment. This show is worth watching at least to see the excellent match between CM Punk and Rey Mysterio. The overall rating for WWE Capitol Punishment 2011 is 7 out of 10.
