Triple H vs. Eugene
Mentor William Regal saw it coming. Unfortunately, Eugene did not. Triple H nailed a distracted Eugene with a punishing Pedigree, sending the young talent to his first-ever WWE pinfall defeat.
Eugene entertained and impressed the Toronto crowd with his imitative arsenal Sunday night - hitting Triple H with a Rock Bottom and Stone Cold Stunner. But the crafty Ric Flair made his presence felt and just the right time to turn the tide against Eugene. Regal emerged to take out Flair and warn Eugene of The Game´s pending assault, but it was to no avail.
The Cerebral Assassin brought an effective game plan into SummerSlam: He feigned injury, used those at ringside ( including Lilian Garcia) as bait and tripped up Eugene with distractions and other means of deception. In the end, Triple H got the victory in a very personal battle. But he may not have succeeded in ending Eugene´s career.

WWE Championship
The Undertaker went " Old School" against WWE Champion JBL, but he also displayed a new trick or two to catch the big Texan-turned-Wall-Street-star off guard. Still in the end, Orlando Jordan´s meddling cost the Undertaker his shot at the WWE Championship.
Using the championship belt Chief of Staff Jordan brought into the ring, the Phenom slammed JBL over the head to gain a decisive advantage. The problem was that referee Nick Patrick saw it happen. The Undertaker was disqualified, rendering useless an especially creative effort in which he displayed amazing countermoves and technical mat skills.
Unsatisfied with the outcome, the Undertaker returned to ringside after the bell to dispense with Jordan and chokeslam JBL through the roof of his own limousine.
