Triple H Suffers Broken Arm At SummerSlam, Mike Tyson Note, Match Cut From PPV (Updated)
- According to WWE.com, medical personnel today confirmed that Triple H suffered a broken left arm during his SummerSlam match with Brock Lesnar Sunday night. It is the same arm, and same area, that Lesnar's Kimura Lock had broken after he had attacked The Game on the April 30 Raw.

- Brodus Clay and Damien Sandow, who have been feuding on WWE programming in recent weeks, were scheduled to face off at SummerSlam but their match was nixed due to time constraints. Both the WWE Championship and WWE Tag Team Championship bouts were shortened due to time constraints because the production team wanted to make sure there would be enough time for the aftermath of the Triple H vs. Brock Lesnar bout since The Game's farewell scene will play a vital role in storylines going forward.
- According to a fan account of WWE's SummerSlam Axxess festivities in Los Angeles, California on Saturday, EMTs tended to numerous attendees who had fainted or collapsed at the event due to the extreme heat. There were few shaded areas and WWE did not provide water.
