Summer Slam has given us so many happy moments in its more than 30 years.
From the wedding of Macho Man Randy Savage and
Miss Elizabeth, to Roman Reigns finally pinning Brock Lesnar.
But we've also had some heartbreak at the biggest event on the Summer.
Here are the five most devastating losses at Summer Slam.
Brock Lesnar was in high demand when he returned to WWE in 2012.
He knew that and he took advantage of that,
attempting to add a bunch fo new terms to his already signed contract.
That did not fly with the chief operating officer Triple H though.
When Triple H attempted to squash those terms,
Lesnar lost it Snapping the COO's left arm.
Triple H wanted to prove he was still an ass kicker, and not just a suit.
So he demanded a match at Summer Slam.
As if things weren't heated enough, Lesnar broke Shawn Michaels's arm
just before the match, dubbed the perfect storm.
So when Lesnar once again broke Triple H's arm, the Game was beside himself.
He slowly left the arena in total shock,
fueling speculation that he was calling it a career.
He even shaved his head, feeding further into those rumors.
The Undertaker and Mankind seemed destined to fight
forever once the masked mobster arrived to WWE in 1996.
Mankind did everything possible to make the dead man's life miserable,
setting the stage for a boiler room brawl at SummerSlam 1996.
To win the match, a super star would have to emerge from the boiler room and
receive The Undertaker's signature urn from Paul Bear.
The phenom's long time manager had been by his side from the very start.
The match was one of the most grueling we had seen in WWE at the time.
Undertaker was first to reach the inside of the ring, but Bearer refused to hand
him the Urn revealing he was into cahoots with The Phenom's biggest rival.

Charlotte Flair and Sasha Banks had been through hell in 2000.
16th, with WWE looking to start a new era,
the boss seized the moment, ending Flair's more than 300 day women's title reign.
In the rematch at SummerSlam 2016, these bitter rivals dished out everything.
Charlotte weakened Sasha's back throughout the match, but
champion fought throughout the pain and seemed to be firmly in control,
locking in the bank statement in the dead centre of the ring Somehow,
Charlotte gained momentum to roll up Sasha for a three count.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Shoulders down.
Shoulders down.
>> The crowd was livid.
Sasha was stunned, and Charlotte was as proud as ever.
A series of Referees went to check on Sasha as she struggled to her feet.
AJ Styles wanted to make an impact when he arrived to WWE in 2016,
and that meant targeting the face that runs the place.
John Cena.
Styles scored a controversial win over Cena at Money in the Bank,
thanks to The Club, so for
their SummerSlam sequel, Cena wanted to teach The Phenomenal One a lesson.
Styles someway survived everything Cena threw at him,
like Avalanche Attitude Adjustment from the top rope.
When Cena tried to follow up with another AA,
Styles countered into the Styles Cash and the Phenomenal Forearm for the win.
Cena left everything in the ring that night, but it wasn't enough to pin Styles.
After the bout, Cena even left his arm band, well, technically, it's a headband
that he wears around his bicep, behind in the ring, as a gesture that caused that
the C Nation leader had not only lost the match But also his fighting spirit.
The authority made Daniel Bryan's life a living hell in 2013 and 2014 after Bryan
embarrassed Triple H and Stephanie McMann at WrestleMania.
Stephanie turned her attention to ruining Brie Bella's life too.
Stephanie had not competed in more than a decade,
but Brie demanded a one on one matchup for summer slam 2014.
To fight for her and her husband's honour blowing Brie locked in the ES lock and
drop kick Triple H it certainly seemed to start it for free.
As Stephanie tried to escape Nikki Bella, enter the ring only two shockingly,
KO her own twin sister with a fore arm, allowing Stephanie to score the victory.
And after the match, Nikki unleashed on Bri and basically this owner as a sister.
That's our list.
