This was easily the best PPV of 2002, and the second-best SummerSlam of all time.

From the opener between Angle & Mysterio, to Shawn Michaels' first match in 4 years, to the WWE Championship match, WWE were still on a creative high at this point, even if the Attitude Era had ended.

Key Matches: Shawn Michaels vs Triple H (Unsanctioned), The Rock vs Brock Lesnar (WWE Title), Kurt Angle vs Rey Mysterio, Rob Van Dam vs Chris Benoit, Edge vs Eddie Guerrero
