Without saying much else let’s get into the list for my Top 5 Best SummerSlam Matches in WWE History and I would love to hear the views of my readers as well about their lists.
Bret Hart vs Owen Hart – SummerSlam 1994
The duo of brothers had the best match in the history of SummerSlam and it’s no surprise that they had the best match because Bret is one of the best of all time and Owen was also an incredible Wrestler. Bret Hart was hot on SummerSlam since 1991 where in London he had the famous match vs British Bulldog for the Intercontinental Championship and that match is also in the race for the best matches in this event. The story leading into this match and then the match itself was the best as both of them made the steel cage a great match and they tried to outdo the other and as a result the fans saw 30 minutes of peak professional wrestling.

This is one of the best Hell in a cell Matches of all time as both The Undertaker and Edge were experienced enough to tell an amazing story inside the cell and have an outstanding match. Edge was the brilliant heel and Undertaker was the face in this feud and this match was the culmination of everything and it was brutal and at the end of 25 minutes everyone got their money's worth. This was two of the greatest at their absolute best.
Bret Hart vs Mr Perfect – SummerSlam 1991
This hot streak of Bret Hart at SummerSlam started in 1991 when he had this match against Mr Perfect at 1991 for the Intercontinental Championship. At that time the Intercontinental Championship was one of the main titles in wrestling and Bret Hart made sure that he had the best matches. This match was professional wrestling at its very best as it was two technicians that went to war and after 23 minutes of incredible storytelling Bret Hart won his first major title in WWE and he deserved every bit of it.

AJ Styles vs John Cena – SummerSlam 2026
The fourth match on my list is the instant classic that AJ Styles and John Cena had at this event in 2016 and I was fortunate enough to watch this live on TV and I was mesmerized by it. These two greats went out there and had such an incredible match that it stole the show and the fans were loving every single second of it as nobody thought that AJ Styles and John Cena would have a match in WWE ever and for 28 minutes they proved why they were the best in the world and AJ Styles won this match and since then he has not looked back in WWE and still going strong.
The Dudley Boys vs The Hardy Boys vs Edge and Christian – SummerSlam 2000
The fifth and final match in my list is the first match between these 3 teams and what a battle it was to see. These 3 teams brought out the best in each other all the time and the first match they had at this event in 2000 was one for the ages and it revolutionized tag team wrestling in WWE and these 3 teams would go on to feud till WrestleMania 17 where they would have the TLC match. This is where the fans saw for close to 22 minutes the magic that these 6 Men had together.
