2000 was arguably the best year of pay-per-views for WWE with Summerslam being one of the better shows. The summer spectacle featured many iconic feuds that are fondly remembered from the Attitude Era. The main event witnessed The Rock defending the WWE Championship in a Triple Threat Match against Triple H and Kurt Angle.

The challengers were in a deep bitter love triangle rivalry with Stephanie McMahon at the center. Angle was the love struck friend of the Billion Dollar Princess with Triple H playing the jealous husband. Things only got more hostile when Kurt shared a kiss with Stephanie on the go-home SmackDown ahead of Summerslam 2000.

Triple H came out hot and attacked Kurt Angle before The Rock even entered the ring for the Summerslam 2000 main event. He gave him a Pedigree on the announce table that gave Angle a concussion. This led to a mostly one-on-one bout between Hunter and The Rock. Angle re-entered, leading to The Rock getting the win on Triple H with the People's Elbow following a steel chair shot by Kurt.
