The Top 10 SummerSlams in History

#4 SummerSlam 2008

Venue: Conseco Fieldhouse, Indianapolis
Date: Aug. 17, 2008
What's notable: John Cena and Batista’s first one-on-one match; Edge goes Spear crazy before being sent to hell; two singles titles change hands in an Inter-Gender Tag Team Match
Title changes: Two (Intercontinental Title, Women’s Title)
MVP: The Undertaker
Best quote: “But enough about my manscaping. We have some history to make." — Santino Marella, seconds before his Inter-Gender Winner-Take-All Match
Near fall of the night: Cena kicks out at two and three-quarters after Batista catches his top-rope leg drop attempt and reverses it into a Batista Bomb

SummerSlam 2008 was the ultimate proving ground. Facing the towering JBL, World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk was at his scrappy best en route to solidifying his place in WWE’s upper echelon. In another title bout, WWE Champion Triple H fought The Great Khali in a colossal conflict and did the unthinkable by locking in the Pedigree on the massive Khali. John Cena and Batista, battling for the right to be the face of Raw, collided in a high-energy contest. And The Rated-R Superstar Edge risked life and limb by entering Hell in a Cell to take on The Undertaker in The Deadman’s signature match. (His spree of Spears in the match, including one through a Cell wall and another onto a table, posed almost as much danger to Edge as it did The Undertaker.) Earlier on the card, MVP and Jeff Hardy, in the fine tradition of SummerSlam openers that came before it, got things off to a rocking start with an exciting, fast-paced duel.
