10 unforgettable moments of WWE SummerSlam from the last decade

#4 The Beast defangs The Viper - SummerSlam 2016

Brock Lesnar pummeling Randy Orton

Brock Lesnar faced off against Randy Orton in the main event of SummerSlam 2016 in a match which was billed by WWE as "15 years in the making." In the weeks building up to their match, Orton claimed that he could beat Lesnar with only one RKO and took shots at Lesnar's failed drug tests.

The match began with Orton hitting Lesnar with an RKO, followed by an off-the-rope DDT and a second RKO to get a near fall. When Orton went to attack Lesnar with the punt kick, The Beast Incarnate countered it and hit an F-5 to get a near fall.

The match soon turned into a one-sided contest as Lesnar removed his gloves and went on attacking Orton's head with multiple bare-knuckle and elbow strikes which left The Viper in a bloody heap. The match was won by Lesnar via technical knockout after referees separated him from Orton.

#3 Jinder Mahal's Khallas on Nakamura - SummerSlam 2017

Although he lost, Shinsuke Nakamura had the momentum early on in the match

Heading into SummerSlam 2017, Jinder Mahal was on a roll as he defended the WWE Championship against Shinsuke Nakamura. The WWE Universe was in complete support of The King of Strong Style who was in control of the match from the get-go and mocked Mahal.

However, owing to distractions caused by The Singh Brothers, The Modern Day Maharaja was able to get the last laugh. As Nakamura was distracted while dealing with Sunil and Samir Singh, Mahal was able to sneak up and drop Nakamura with the Khallas to get the pin, retain his title, and shock the WWE Universe.
