10 Best Ruthless Aggression Era WWE PPVs
2. SummerSlam 2002
SummerSlam 2002 will go down in history as one of the best WWE pay-per-views of all time. The show opened with a fast-paced exhibition match between Kurt Angle and a recently-debuted Rey Mysterio, and this set the pace for the entire event.
Booker T and Goldust proved that they were more than a comedy duo when they challenged the Un-Americans (Lance Storm and Christian) for the World Tag Team Championship. In the match, Goldust would illustrate why he remains one of the most underrated wrestlers of all time.
Later in the card, a returning Shawn Michaels bested his former-best friend Triple H in an unsanctioned match, which remains one of the highlights of both men’s careers.
Before the main event, we had The Undertaker carrying Test to the finest match of his entire career.
On last, we had the coronation of Brock Lesnar, as he defeated The Rock with all of the New York state audience switching allegiances from the Great One to the Next Big Thing as the match progressed.
This event was gratifying to watch as a young fan, and remains a benchmark of excellence in WWE programming.
