It turns out the No Holds Barred stipulation was right up Batista's alley.

In a brutal match, much of which took place outside the ring, Batista defeated and downright punished JBL to retain the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam in his hometown of Washington, D.C.

The match turned when JBL brought the steel steps into the ring, prepared to inflict some damage.

Instead, Batista tossed JBL from the steps with a back body drop and then hit a Batista Bomb. But instead of pinning JBL, Batista picked him up off the mat and sent him back-first into the steps with another Batista Bomb before recording the pin on the steps.
