Marquee Matches - Dean Ambrose vs Seth Rollins in a Lumberjack Match, John Cena(c) vs Brock Lesnar for WWE World Heavyweight Title

On Paper, Summerslam seemed like a regular WWE pay per view with only two matches big matches and a series of matches that did not have any special build up to them. However, what we got was a stunning show from the start to the end that had one of the most dominating World Title victories in recent times as the main event.

Officially regarded as the day when the term Suplex City was coined, the main event featured a shocking squash victory by Brock Lesnar over WWE Champion John Cena. In a match where John Cena got almost negligible offense, Lesnar hit 16 German Suplexes on his way to a World Title victory that started a period of sheer dominance by The Beast that is still running wild in the WWE till date.

In the other marquee match, former Shield Brothers Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins wrestled a fun Lumberjack Match that brought a momentary end to their heated rivalry when Rollins successfully pinned Ambrose. Elsewhere, Roman Reigns and Randy Orton exceeded all expectations in a stunning penultimate match, and Stephanie McMahon surprisingly defeated Brie Bella in her first televised match in over a decade.
