On August 21, 2005, the WWE roared into Washington, D.C. for its annual SUMMERSLAM event. A jam-packed showdown between the stars of RAW and SMACKDOWN, the year-end roundup included eight devastating battles: a U.S. championship match between Chris Benoit and Orlando Jordan, a grudge match pitting rivals Matt Hardy and Edge, a ladder match between Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio, an Olympic gold medal match featuring Kurt Angle and Eugene, a meet up between the Undertaker and Randy Orton, a WWE championship match with Chris Jericho versus John Cena, a world heavyweight championship between JBL and Batista, and a show stopping finale of legend-meets-legend with Shawn Michaels and Hulk Hogan.
