#1 moment revealed as WWE names the 25 most dramatic SummerSlam match endings
With SummerSlam 2023 on the horizon, WWE's YouTube channel counted down the top 25 most dramatic match endings in the event's history.
The number one spot went to the SummerSlam 2014 main event between Brock Lesnar and John Cena. The Beast Incarnate famously hit his opponent with 16 German suplexes before landing an F-5 to record a surprisingly one-sided win over the company's top babyface.
The full list, which can be viewed below, features Randy Orton's Money in the Bank cash-in on Daniel Bryan at SummerSlam 2013. Seth Rollins' SummerSlam 2015 victory against Cena is also included.
The countdown features several women's matches, including Brie Bella vs. Stephanie McMahon (SummerSlam 2014) and Becky Lynch vs. Bianca Belair (SummerSlam 2021). Liv Morgan vs. Ronda Rousey (SummerSlam 2022) also appears in the list.
