Ranking All 29 WWE SummerSlam Main Events Ever
14. 1998 – Austin (c) Vs. Undertaker
The Austin Era was in full-swing during the summer
of 1998, with only a one-day Kane championship reign to derail the beer-fueled
train. “Stone Cold” Steve Austin would hold the WWF title (save for that one
day) for nearly six months, which was an eternity during the late 90s.
As part of that reign, Austin battled The Undertaker at SummerSlam, earning his stripes by defeating another main event star on his way to becoming the biggest star of the era. The two fought back and forth, highlighted by a top rope leg drop from Taker through a table.
Austin would prevail, but the following month, a
double pin on the champ would result in the title being left vacant for two
months.
