5 WWE SummerSlam endings that disappointed fans

2. Lex Luger wins the match but not the title (1993)

The conclusion to SummerSlam 2003 was almost as underwhelming as the ending to the biggest party of the summer exactly a decade earlier. Lex Luger had been riding a wave of momentum in the months that preceded SummerSlam 1993 and was ready to take the WWE Championship from Yokozuna.

Yokozuna had been built up to be an evil foreign champion, so it made sense to have him drop the strap to the all-American Luger, who was immensely over with the audience at that time. Luger, did in fact, win the matchup that night... but not the title, as he was deemed the victor via count-out.

Despite not being crowned the new champion, the roster as well as the live crowd celebrated with Luger, anyway. What's worse is that he never did wind up winning the belt, rendering this SummerSlam ending pointless.
