WWE Championship Match
Triple H (c) vs. The Great Khali
Jim Ross noted that Triple H hasn't lost a SummerSlam match in six years. As a side note, Triple H has been married to Stephanie McMahon for almost five years and they were officially dating for a couple of years before that.
HHH and Khali started brawling early and Triple H went for a pedigree right off the bad. Khali got out of it and hit a tree slam on HHH and then showboated. He signaled for the vice grip and got it on HHH but HHH was able to get out and knocked Khali out of the ring. Outside of the ring Khali worked Triple H over and threw him back in the ring.
Back in the ring, Khali continued to dominate Triple H and a loud "You Can't Wrestle" chant broke. Finally Triple H was able to power out of a nerve hold and hit a facebuster on Khali, knocking Khali into the ropes and tying him up. As Triple H charged Khali, Khali got a boot up and regained the advantage. Triple H quickly went for a pedigree, but Khali backdropped Triple H outside of the ring.
Khali kept the advantage for the next several minutes and once again got the vice grip on HHH. Finally Triple H was able to power out and went for a pedigree again, and was able to get it this time. Not terrible, I've seen worse Khali matches.
Winner via pinfall and still WWE Champion: Triple H
