Brock Lesnar gets Triple H to tap out, Punk and Sheamus retain

For 24 years, the biggest Summer event for WWE is SummerSlam and tonight it’s the 25th annual of SummerSlam.

The highly promoted match for tonight is Triple H vs. Brock Lesnar that has been in the making since the end of April. Brock broke the arm of Triple H using the Kimura armbar a few months ago. Later on, Triple H returned to the pay-per-view No Way Out to challenge Brock to a match. This brought the returning manager of Brock, Paul Heyman. After a few meetings between both men, the match was made.

Don’t forget there is a Triple Threat match tonight for the WWE Championship in which the Champion does not need to be pinned to lose his belt.

Let’s also not forget that Dolph Ziggler is the current holder of the Money in the Bank contract.
