12 WWE PPVs With Two Great World Title Matches

12. SummerSlam 2001 (Steve Austin Vs. Kurt Angle; Booker T Vs. The Rock)

At SummerSlam 2001, a WWF/E PPV had more than one World Title bout for the very first time in company history.

Fighting over the WCW World Championship were The Rock and 'The Book', who main-evented the show and delivered one hell of an entertaining match.

In the end, The Rock proved the People's Elbow was the most electrifying move by defeating Booker T and capturing his very first WCW Championship - which is still weird to say in 2019!

Earlier that night, Stone Cold defended his WWF Championship against Kurt Angle in a phenomenal bout that only wasn't a five-star classic because of its DQ finish.

Austin put on a fantastic heel performance, trying every trick in the book to retain the gold no matter "what".

He attacked a number of referees during the match, before an Alliance referee came down and (instead of counting Kurt Angle's pinfall) conveniently disqualified Austin.

Despite being a DQ finish - and everyone hates those - at least this one made sense. The match was perfect up until that point.
