10 Great WWE SummerSlam Matches You've Forgotten About

10. Eddie Guerrero Vs Rhyno Vs Tajiri Vs Chris Benoit (2003)

The solution they came up with was to bring back the United States Championship to function as a second-tier title, and before it became a tragic after-thought, it did produce some pretty stellar wrestling in its early goings.

At SummerSlam, inaugural champion Eddie Guerrero defended the belt in a pulsating four-way bout with Rhyno, Tajiri and Chris Benoit. A match unfortunately cut about five or six minutes short by the two monster main events to come later in the night, granted, but a fine example of how stacked the WWE roster was right around this time.
