 The newest member of the Right to Censor. Mark Henry aided Steven Richards in his fight against Val Venis forcing Val Venis to be a member of the Right To Censor.
![Throwback Tribute: Joanie 'Chyna' Laurer (1969-2016) | Wrestling DVD Network]() Once again the Ninth Wonder of The World became the WWF Intercontinental Champion by defeating Rikishi & Eddie Guerrero in a Triple Threat Match.
 Shane had hell to pay coming his way as Steve Blackman looked to regain the WWF Hardcore Championship once more.
 Blackman was totally dominant in this match at every turn.
Shane tried escaping for his life against Blackman as they were 50 feet in the staging area but it was Blackman that threw Shane off the stage by hitting a kendo stick and that allowed Blackman to capture the Hardcore Title once more. The Deadman got his redemption on the 500-pound monster The Big Show who almost injured him & Kane and also cost him the WWF Tag Team Titles at Fully Loaded when The Undertaker choked The Big Show by using a chain in an unsanctioned contest.
 Note: (Yes, I know Kurt Angle is bald in this pic when he's giving the anklelock to Hogan, but let's just say he had hair when he cleanly made Hogan tap out to win the match and thus win the #1 Contendership. And Summerslam also featured a new WWF Women's Champion. Lita is now the Women's Champion.
 But could Lita's friends, The Hardy Boys win the Tag Team Titles in their first ever TLC Match with The Dudleys & the WWF Tag Team Champions, Edge & Christian.
 This no doubt in anyone's mind was the thrill of a Tag Team Match for the titles.
 Even WrestleMania history was repeated, but Bubba was able to move out of Jeff Hardy's Swanton Bomb unlike last time.
 The finish came when Jeff & D'von were hanging onto the titles as Edge & Christian placed the ladder. Jeff kicked D-Von off the ladder.
 But a mid air spear by Edge crashed Jeff to the floor.
 Edge and Christian were able to survive that match with the titles intact.
![WWE Vengeance 2001 Review – TJR Wrestling]() Summerslam capped off with two fan favorites colliding for the World Wrestling Federation Championship, Chris Jericho & The Rock.
 This was the match that could've gone either way for either man.
![The Wrestling Champion - Rock bottom on y2j through the announce table,No Mercy,2001🤨 | Facebook]() The Rock would deliver a Rock Bottom to Jericho on the announce table, but somehow someway Jericho survived.
 The match returned to the ring with the two going at it for ten more minutes with The Rock kicking out of Jericho's lionsault and the Walls of Jericho. And Jericho kicking out of the Rock Bottom and the People's Elbow. And as The Rock went for another Rock Bottom. Jericho countered and hit a modified takedown on The Rock and then followed it up with the Walls of Jericho and The Rock tried escaping again, but Jericho had him right where he wanted him and The Rock had no choice but to tap out.
 Just one year since August 9, 1999 after his debut. Chris Jericho had officially reached the mountaintop as he was now the World Wrestling Federation Champion. After, The Rock and Jericho shook hands with Jericho taking in the moment as Summerslam ended. |

![The Hardy Boyz win WWE World Tag Team Titles: Unforgiven 2000 | On this day 20 years ago, The Hardy Boyz defeated Edge & Christian in a Steel Cage Match to become]() There was something to celebrate in the Hardy Household as The Hardy Boys captured the WWF Tag Team Championship over Edge & Christian.
 The Rattlesnake made his return to the WWF looking to find out who attempted to run him down at the 1999 Survivor Series. The first 2 people that were accused of running down Stone Cold were the two men that faced off for the Hardcore Title. Shane McMahon & Steve Blackman at Summerslam. Austin stunned them both despite them being innocent.
 Triple H who had won the WWF Championship over Chris Jericho was back untop of the mountain as he took on Kurt Angle for the title at Unforgiven to finally put this romantic friendship between him, Kurt & Stephanie to rest.
 Angle hit the Game with Triple H's signature sledgehammer but it still wasn't enough to put Triple H down.
 A Pedigree by The Game looked to settle things for this feud once and for all.
 Then Stephanie McMahon came out and pleaded with the two to stop their fighting.
 But then Stephanie committed the ultimate act of betrayal as Angle threw The Game into the ringpost and then SLAP!!!! Stephanie slapped her own husband!.
 The two then hugged as Triple H watched.
 And then Kurt followed it up with another sledgehammer shot to the ribs and then the Angle Slam.
 And with the ultimate betrayal. Kurt Angle became the WWF Champion by defeating Triple H.
 But the celebration would be spoiled by Stone Cold Steve Austin who was still looking for the hit and run driver from Survivor Series 1999. Austin then stunned Angle and Triple H both at the same time and also hit Stephanie with the Stunner himself.
 The Rattlesnake ended Unforgiven by throwing another beer bash, but there were questions leading to answers, who is the driver?. Was he in the building?.
