WWF SummerSlam was live at Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York. However, Brown would soon use his chest protector to gain leverage over Venis when the latter made an early advantage. Despite the protector, Venis still managed to retain some offensive momentum, legsweeping Brown out of the turnbuckle leading the champion to escape outside the ring. The two then embarked on a number of Irish whip maneuvers with frequent reversals, Venis perhaps taking Brown down more often. Despite flooring Venis with an Irish whip to the turnbuckle, Brown lost any advantage by gesturing to the crowd, though Venis' comeback was short-lived. Brown kept Venis mostly low, making many ground attacks from a standing position and the top ropes, often trying pins in between then switching tactics by applying a Texas cloverleaf. Rather than keep the pressure though, Brown let go and missed a senton bomb from the second rope, allowing Venis to recover and fight back with knees to the chest and elbow attacks. Venis tried to capitalize on this with his finisher, the money shot, but as Brown began to stand up Venis opted for a dropkick instead, however he was met with the grip of Brown who turned it into a Sky High instead but still Venis would not be pinned, similarly even after a DDT. Brown tried a high flying move of his own but Venis caught him mid air for a scoop slam. Despite subduing Brown with a double-armed suplex and a slam, Brown managed to get his knees up and after this attempted a powerbomb. The first powerbomb was unsuccessful though, Brown unable to flip Venis onto his shoulders and subsequently dropping him onto his head; the second though was a successful running powerbomb but rather than pin him, Brown attempted, and missed, the Lo Down. Venis then pulled off Brown's chest protector, putting it on himself and causing the referee to try to pull it off him. As Venis climbed the turnbuckle the referee accidentally pulled the ropes, causing Venis to land on his crotch. He still managed a Manhattan drop on Brown though, trying to climb the turnbuckle again with the referee still pulling at the chest protector. This time Venis shoved the referee to the ground, causing him to lose the match via disqualification; after the match he slammed the referee and landed the Moneyshot.

The Oddities, welcomed to the ring by Insane Clown Posse singing their music, lived up to their title when Golga, having had his head smashed against the turnbuckle by Taka Michinoku, headbanged voluntarily. After pouring water into Yamaguchi-San's shoe, the match began in earnest with Funaki being thrown around the ring by Kurrgan and despite the entire team illegally attacking Kurrgan, holding his arms, he still managed to kick away Funaki and toss the others restraining his hand. When Giant Silva was tagged in, all of Kaientai fled the ring, regrouping outside before Dick Togo was sent into the ring but similar to before the entire team soon ganged up on him but Silva piled all four of them into the turnbuckle, crushing them back into the padding before Irish whipping them into the opposite corner and then tossing Taka over the top rope, falling onto the other three members. Golga was the first Oddity brought to the floor, with a double slam by Funaki and Mens Teioh which was followed up by four big splashes by all members. Kai En Tai followed suite with four running elbow drops but a four-man Irish whip was met with a clothesline that took all of them out. With Kurrgan tagged in, the four tried to attack him but Kurrgan and Silva choked all four between the two of them. Yamaguchi tried to attack Kurrgan from behind but Luna Vachon scoop slammed him and all four of Kai En Tai received a chokeslam in unison and Golga covered all four of them to pick up the pin count.

The Hair match saw Jeff Jarrett's accomplices, Southern Justice, sent to the back by Commissioner Slaughter whilst Howard Finkel accompanied X-Pac to the ring, performing the signature crotch chops. The match moved both in and out of the ring early on, with Jarrett rushing X-Pac's open legs onto the ring post, leaving him almost to be counted out. When he returned to the ring, Jarrett continued his dominance with basic punching and Irish whips to the turnbuckle. X-Pac returned with a desperate swinging DDT allowing him to take some time to recover, but his attacking maneuvers were met with a sleeper hold. An attempt to put Jarrett in the sleeper hold saw him lifted from behind onto the turnbuckle but X-Pac used this to his advantage, spinning round into a crossbody which missed contact with his opponent. With both men on the floor, Jarrett applied his figure four leg lock in the middle of the ring, which X-Pac struggled to counter by turning over, eventually making it to the rope after a minute or so. Jarrett tried to lock the submission again but X-Pac kicked him from behind into the corner, catching him with a backdrop as Jarrett stumbled out. Despite a spinning heel kick and bronco buster, Jarrett was still able to land a diving crossbody, though X-Pac rolled it in his favor. Finkel climbed onto the apron to complain of a low blow attempt, when Jarrett turned back to the ring X-Pac landed an X Factor. Southern Justice appeared from the back, but X-Pac ducked El Kabong from Dennis Knight, grabbing the guitar and hitting Jarrett with it while the referee pushed Southern Justice out of the ring. Once the pinfall was made, fellow Degenerates, New Age Outlaws rushed to ringside with chairs to chase away Southern Justice while The Headbangers and Darren Drozdov helped hold Jarrett in his chair while he had his hair removed, though he escaped the ring before he was completely shaved bald.

Sable arrived to the ring and introduced her mystery tag team partner, with Edge coming through the crowd to make his pay-per-view debut. Marc Mero and Edge were the initial opponents though Mero soon tagged in Jacqueline, however she immediately tagged Mero back when confronted by Sable. On the outside Jacqueline pulled at Edge's feet while running, allowing Mero to take the advantage and, with the referee distracted, choked him on the bottom rope. Mero attempted a TKO but Edge swung round to secure a DDT and with both men down they crawled to tag in their prospective female partners. Sable instantly scooped Jacqueline and punched her before chasing her around the ring and back in. Inside the ring Mero tried to subdue Sable, but he was lowblowed and then he almost got a Sable Bomb, but Jacqueline saved Mero this allowed Jacqueline to take some advantage but Sable soon turned the tables back in her favor, landing a TKO on Jacqueline. Mero pulled Sable off the pin and while distracted, was double teamed by both opponents. Jacqueline accidentally hit her partner though, letting Sable tag in Edge who made a running suicide leap onto Mero, before whipping him into the steel steps and spanking Jacqueline on the walkway. A pinning attempt after a super neckbreaker was put on hold when Mero's partner put his feet on the bottom rope. Once again the two accidentally collided, when Edge ducked out of the way leaving Jacqueline on the outside of the ring. When Mero went to the top rope, Edge reversed leaving him sitting on the turnbuckle and then tagged in Sable who delivered a frankensteiner. Edge then went to pin Mero but leapt off him when he saw Jacqueline flying for a splash, leading the two to collide once again. Sable and Edge then whipped their respective opponents into the corner, with Mero falling out of it and then Jacqueline falling head first onto his crotch. Edge then grabbed Sable by her legs and planted her face first onto Mero to secure the pin.

The Lion's Den match, which took place in a separate theatre within Madison Square Garden in front of a special crowd, was contested in a pseudo-circular polygon cage, with steel wire and no ropes approximately ten feet high. After both competitors entered the den, the door was chained shut. The match began with Owen Hart being driven into the steel wall and then slammed into the ground, though Ken Shamrock would receive the same treatment. Shamrock then backdropped Hart and picked up up to hold him in submission around his head. Though Hart threw Shamrock into the wall, Shamrock instantly retaliated with a clothesline and proceeded to pull off Hart's shirt and use it to choke Hart from behind, bringing him down with a snapmare using the cloth and continuing to pull at his neck. As Hart stood up, Shamrock jumped into the cage and jumped back off it, higher, to crossbody his opponent. After throwing Hart into the wall again, Shamrock soon felt the wrath of the den as he was driven into the metal frames that secured the chain. Hart caught Shamrock's foot, but the latter followed through with an enzuigiri negating either advantage. As the two returned to their feet it became an exchange of punches before Shamrock again used the cage to aid him into a flying shoulder barge, but the second time he did this Hart caught him and slammed him into the mat and used the advantage to lock in the Sharpshooter. Shamrock slowly crawled to the cage and used his fingers to climb up, building pressure on his own legs but making it awkward for Hart to sustain the hold. Despite breaking out Hart managed to catch Shamrock, bending him backwards with his arm wrapped around Shamrock's neck. Shamrock broke free by walking up the steel and flipping over the back of Hart, tripping him with a toe hold that allowed him to utilize an arm bar submission before applying his ankle lock that forced Dan Severn to walk away in disgust and Hart to tap out.

With Kane absent from the arena, the falls count anywhere match for the WWF Tag Team Championship became a de facto handicap match. New Age Outlaws brought out a dumpster full of weapons, alluding to an incident in February where they had locked Mankind, as Cactus Jack, and Chainsaw Charlie in a dumpster and thrown it off the stage. Billy Gunn ran into the ring and met with a baking tray to his head from Mankind before the two had a sword fight of sorts, with a steel chair. Despite Mankind taking the advantage from this, the tandem attacks of baking sheets to the head subdued Mankind until he was caught in the ropes. After taking more weapons to the head, Mankind managed to toss Gunn over his back to the outside and fought Road Dogg into the corner. When Mankind went back out the ring to continue his assault on Gunn, though, the handicap caught up with him and he was thrown against the dumpster. Road Dogg opened up a table in the corner but Mankind managed to reverse the Irish whip, forcing Gunn through it. After a double team elevated neckbreaker did not dispatch him, he suffered a double team powerbomb through two chairs and again this did not keep Mankind down (although after Mankind kicked out, the Outlaws music briefly played) but finally a spiked piledriver onto the championship belt was enough to keep him down. After winning, Outlaws put Mankind in the dumpster and closed the lid. Whilst the Outlaws celebrated, the lid of the dumpster opened and Kane stood up, picking up a sledgehammer and throwing it down on an unseen Mankind inside the dumpster.

Next up was the Intercontinental Championship match.

In the arena, the band that does the DX theme song performs the song for Triple H's entrance and he comes out with Chyna walking with him as they make their way to the ring. Triple H and Chyna enter the ring and the band stops playing and leaves.

The Rock's theme hits next and he comes out with Mark Henry. They make their entrance and the Rock enters the ring, staring down Triple H who stared back as they wait for the Champion.

OOOOOOWHOOOOOO!

The Devil's Wolf plays and the lights dim to a mix of blood red and dark blue before fire explodes on the stage and out comes the Bladewolf with Kane. The WWF Intercontinental Championship was on Bladewolf's right shoulder instead of being around Bladewolf's waist like it always is. The brothers make their entrance down to the ring as triple H and the Rock glare at Bladewolf, wanting what he has.

Bladewolf takes off his coat and tosses it aside before he gets onto the ring apron and climbs over the top rope while Kane stays outside and keeps an eye on Henry and Chyna. Bladewolf's theme soon dies down and the lights return to normal as Bladewolf hands the title to the referee who holds it up to show it's on the line, then hooks it to the hook that will hold it above the ring before calling for the bell.

'Ding! Ding! Ding!'

Right away, Triple H charges and clotheslines the Rock over the top rope and onto Mark Henry, taking the two down while Bladewolf runs up and tackles Triple H into the corner, driving his shoulder repeatedly into Triple H's stomach before giving the man an uppercut, then drives his elbow into the side of Triple H's head before hammering away with lefts and rights all over the man, causing Triple H to cover up to avoid them.

Bladewolf returns to driving his shoulder into Triple H's stomach as the Rock comes up from behind and hammers away on Triple H's forehead before Bladewolf gets behind the Rock, grabs him from behind and hits a German Suplex across the ring. Bladewolf gets to his feet and delivers a big boot to the Rock's face when the former Intercontinental Champion ran at him.

Bladewolf grabs the Rock by the hair and rams him headfrst into the top turnbuckle before he unloads with lefts and rights, then uppercuts the Rock before he presses his boot into Rock's gut and pushes down hard, causing Rock to breath wrong as he struggles to fight back. Triple H attacks Bladewolf from behind with lefts and rights, pulling Bladewolf off the Rock as Triple H keeps up the assault, kneeing Bladewolf in the stomach relentlessly but it seems to do no damage to the Demon Wolf until Triple H brings Bladewolf's masked face into his knee, then rebounds off the ropes and hits a running high knee to the jaw that drops Bladewolf.

Triple H turns his attention to the Rock and the two start going at it, trading punches with each other until the Rock started to get the upperhand as one punch knocks Triple H down. Triple H leans on the middle rope as the Rock hits another right to the head, then another, then another. Bladewolf gets to his feet and walks up behind the Rock before grabbing him by the hair and throws him back across the ring.

Bladewolf whirls around and uppercuts Triple H in the corner, taking the man down. Bladewolf turns his focus to the Rock and the two start exchanging right punches with each other until Bladewolf ducks one from the Rock and elbows him in the head, taking him down. Bladewolf grabs the Rock and goes for an irish whip but the Rock comes off the ropes, ducks the right from Bladewolf and unloads on the Intercontinental Champion with a fury of hard rights until Bladewolf suddenly uppercuts him.

Rock holds his chin as Bladewolf grabs him and pick him up with an arm around his waist before he runs and drives the Rock into the corner, pulls him close and hits a belly-to-belly suplex. Bladewolf gets to his feet and grabs Triple H and hits a German Suplex on him.

Bladewolf kicks Triple H out the ring and focuses on the Rock who is stumbling to his feet. The Rock turns into a hard right hand from Bladewolf, sending the former Champion into the corner. Bladewolf walks up and delivers a punch to the Rock's jaw, then wraps his left arm around the top rope and pulls on it, causing the Rock to yell in pain before Bladewolf delivers a hard right to the shoulder joint, causing the Rock to clutch that area.

Bladewolf shoves the Rock back into the corner before he drives his right elbow into the side of the Rock's head, then delivers a right punch into the Rock's stomach before he irish whips the Rock off the ropes and floors the man with a big boot to the face.

Triple H slides into the ring and clobbers Bladewolf from behind, which merely sends Bladewolf stumbling a few feet before Triple H goes on the attack as he tries to get the big man off his feet. Bladewolf covers up before he kicks Triple H in the stomach, then lands a hard right to the forehead, sending Triple H down. Bladewolf flips his hair back before he grabs Triple H by the hair and yanks back, then drives his elbow into Triple H's chest, dropping the man hard.

The Bladewolf then turns back to Triple H when the Rock charges him and tackles him out the ring through the middle rope. Bladewolf stands to his feet and grabs the Rock before sending him into the barricade. Bladewolf hammers away on the Rock's forehead before he lifts him up into a military press, walks forward a few feet... AND THROWS HIM INTO THE ANNOUNCE TABLE!

Mark Henry runs up from behind... AND CLOBBERS BLADEWOLF! this causes Kane to come around and attack henry, causing the two men to brawl as Bladewolf stands and helps his brother in beating down Henry. Meanwhile, Chyna slides in a ladder to Triple H and urges him to set it up and start climbing while Bladewolf is busy with Henry.

Triple H slowly does so as he recovers from the assault by Bladewolf and once the ladder is set up underneath the title. Triple H slowly begins to climb, which Bladewolf notices and slides in to the ring at the same time as Chyna and she walks up... AND SLAPS HIM ACROSS THE MASK!

Bladewolf whips his head to glare at her before grabbing her by the throat... AND LAUNCHES HER INTO THE LADDER! This sends Triple H falling down onto his side as Bladewolf picks up the ladder, waits for Triple H to get to his feet... BEFORE DRIVING IT INTO TRIPLE H'S FACE!

Bladewolf tosses the ladders aside and continues to beat down on Triple H. Bladewolf spots the Rock sliding into the ring and lifts him onto his shoulders... AND HITS THE WOLF'S WRATH ON TOP OF TRIPLE H!

Bladewolf grabs the ladder and sets them up before he begins climbing them, reaches the top and he grabs the title... AND UNHOOKS IT! BLADEWOLF RETAINS THE TITLE!

'Ding! Ding! Ding!'

The Devil's Wolf plays as Bladewolf stands tall at the top of the ladder. Bladewolf holds the title in one hand as he raises his arms before he shoots them into the air and fire explodes from the turnbuckles as the lights go to the sinister blood red and dark blue while Bladewolf jumps down from the ladder and leaves the ring, heading to the back with Kane...

And that's it for this chapter everyone.
