This card is absolutely stacked, including Ric Flair vs Chris Jericho, Kurt Angle vs Rey Mysterio, The Undertaker vs Test, Shawn Michaels vs Triple H in Michaels' return to the ring, and the main event of Brock Lesnar vs The Rock in which Lesnar became a megastar.

Oh Dan. He's trying it again. The infamous show where The Nexus had their first big match against Team WWE and...lost. Boo etc. Also featuring Randy Orton vs Sheamus, Kane vs Rey Mysterio for the WHC, and Big Show vs The Straight Edge Society. The whole group. By himself.

WWE SummerSlam 2014 (suggested by Justin Edelheit)
