Ranking The 26 WWE SummerSlam Main Events From Worst To Best

9. Mega Powers vs. Mega Bucks - SummerSlam 1988

You can€™t have a top 10 without paying homage to the original SummerSlam main event. This feud showed how long-term and smart booking can lead to two major storylines intersecting and creating an even bigger one. Hogan-Andre was more than a year old, but the two continued to collide at events such as The Main Event and at WrestleMania IV. Randy Savage was the WWF champion at this point, and he was battling Ted DiBiase, whom he had defeated in the tournament finals at WrestleMania IV. But DiBiase still had the services of Andre the Giant, and the two would attack Savage, prompting Macho Man to enlist Hulk Hogan for help. And thus, the Mega Powers vs. the Mega Bucks was born. The match itself was a solid affair, with DiBiase and Andre gaining the upper hand toward the end. This led to the famous moment of Miss Elizabeth climbing up on the apron and tearing off her dress bottom, revealing a pair of bikini bottoms. The crowd roared, DiBiase and Andre were flummoxed, and the Mega Powers rebounded to vanquish the Mega Bucks in short order. Classic match, unforgettable finish.

8. The Rock (c) vs. Brock Lesnar (WWE Championship) - SummerSlam 2002

As a match, Rock vs. Brock was an awesome battle. But it was the story of the Great One and the Next Big Thing that really drove this main event. Lesnar had debuted just five months earlier and had run through everyone put in front of him. The Rock was still considered one of the true greats in WWE at the time. The question was whether the Brahma Bull could stop the charge of The Beast. During the match, the Long Island fans read the writing on the wall and openly booed Rock and cheered for Lesnar. Brock kicked out of a Rock Bottom and hit his own, then no-sold a spinebuster setting up the People€™s Elbow, ending the match with a devastating F-5 that kicked off Lesnar€™s run at the top of the promotion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUy1b3v7irY This was a perfect example of WWE going all-in on a superstar and it paying off, big time. You can see them doing it again with Roman Reigns today, which makes you wonder why they do this star-making process so rarely.
