No Shelton Benjamin match at Summerslam because Mr. Kennedy got hurt

Anyone wonder why United States Champion Shelton Benjamin didn't have a title defense match at Summerslam? Well, The Gold Standard was originally planned to have a title defense match against Mr. Kennedy but the WWE had to pull the plug on that one when Mr. Kennedy injured his shoulder and they couldn't come up with a suitable replacement. The WWE instead decided to go with the Jeff Hardy - MVP match to take it's place.
