Universal Champion 2016 was an exciting
time in the WWE with the reintroduction
of the brand split the company saw a
brief creative golden period House
Smackdown live wound up getting most of
the praise hopes were high for Raw when

main roster Finn Balor defeated Seth
Rollins in an exhilarating match to
become the first-ever WWE Universal
Champion in a terrible stroke of luck

shock of Nikki’s betrayal nonetheless
this SummerSlam moments will be
remembered for its immediate impact
number 8 HBK versus Hogan by 2005 Shawn
Michaels was a near universally loved
babyface it’s hard to even imagine him
turning heel but that’s exactly what
happened when Hulk Hogan returned and
wanted to wrestle Michaels and Wayne
this understandably made Michaels a
little unhappy and what resulted is one
of the funniest feuds the WB has seen
Michaels tries his hardest to make Hogan
look like a fool
mocking him in the lead-up to the match

of his moves during the match despite
Hogan winning in a classic Shawn
Michaels move he refused to put him over
the way he was expected to number seven
Shane McMahon takes a fall Shane McMahon

putt his health and safety on the line
in death-defying stunts this reputation

Steve Blackman for the Hardcore
Championship at SummerSlam 2000 after a
few minutes of back-and-forth Blackman
chased McMahon out of the ring and Shane
began climbing of the entrance set a
massive structure built for SummerSlam
McMahon would jump off plummeting 50
feet down onto the concrete floor
Blackman would pin Shane and win the
title but Shane’s career and reputation
for dangerous stunts would continue to
this day

injuries Shawn Michaels received the
good news that he was fit to return to
in-ring action and he did just that

street fight against his old friend
Triple H this quick-paced and brutal
Foley is one of the most memorable of

sledgehammer and had to be carted away

sick Lex’s and the to trading
convincingly realistic blows eventually
Lesnar kayfabe or not lost his cool and
began landing heavy blows on Orton’s
head
viciously busting him open the match was
broken up and Lesnar was declared the

interference what happened instead was
that Daniel Bryan won the WB
championship for the first time only for
Randy Orton to come out with his Money
