Every WWE SummerSlam Triple Threat Match Ranked - From Worst To Best
The Biggest Party of the Summer doesn't have a great history of three-ways.
SummerSlam is almost upon us, and WWE's second biggest show of the year is once against shaping up to be a whole lot of fun. Finn Balor vs. Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose vs. Dolph Ziggler and John Cena vs. AJ Styles all have the potential to be great matches, and the undercard will surely be solid from top to bottom.
Apollo Crews will challenge for the Intercontinental Championship against The Miz, but Baron Corbin's actions as the end of the #1 Contender match last week on RAW suggest that he may yet be added to the bout. If it does become a triple threat, it will be the 9th triple threat match in SummerSlam history and the fourth to be fought over the Intercontinental Championship.
What of the eight three-ways to have already happened? Well, a disclaimer is needed to a degree, as two of the matches included aren't traditional triple threats. One sees three teams of three go at it, whereas another one is a classic three-team tag match. Either way, there are two 'vs' in the match listing so they count for me.
The truth is, SummerSlam doesn't have a great record when it comes to triple threats. I dare say that only one of these matches is truly must-see, although sweet lord if you haven't seen that one stop whatever you are doing now and watch it. Let's get to ranking.
8. Ryback Vs. The Miz Vs. Big Show - 2015
Well, it was better than most people expected it to be but it is still the worst triple threat match in SummerSlam history.
Ryback defended his Intercontinental Championship last year against current-champion The Miz and Big Show, in another 2015 feud that never seemed to go anywhere. Going into this match expectations were low, as the match lacked that one individual who can keep the timing and pacing of a three-way.
All three worked hard, but the match was dominated by Big Show in control and that very rarely makes for exciting viewing. Still, the big man tried to hit a second rope senton on the Big Guy (seriously), but that aside this was a turgid match.
Big Show KO's Miz, Ryback clotheslines Show, Ryback pins Miz. Move along please.
