r/WWERuthlessAggression

My favorite tagline is Eddie Guerrero’s

Date: August 25, 2002

Promotion: World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE)

Match Stipulation / Type: Unsanctioned Street Fight Match

Event: SummerSlam

Location: Uniondale, New York | Nassau Coliseum

➜ This was the first SummerSlam held following the introduction of the brand extension in March 2002, as well as the first SummerSlam held under the WWE name, after the promotion was renamed from World Wrestling Federation (WWF) to WWE in May, and the first of the Ruthless Aggression Era.

The main match on the Raw brand featured Shawn Michaels, returning for his first SummerSlam since 1997.

Michaels returned after being out of wrestling (due to a back injury) for four years. Triple H was given the choice of deciding which brand he would appear for, Raw or SmackDown!, and Michaels helped him decide by offering to reform D-Generation X on the Raw brand. Triple H chose to go to the Raw brand, but on the July 22 episode of Raw, as Michaels and Triple H were in the middle of reforming DX, Triple H turned on Michaels by nailing him with the Pedigree.

Triple H told Michaels that he did it to prove a point that Michaels was "weak". Michaels then told Triple H that he wasn't 100%, but he would be at SummerSlam.
