SummerSlam (1994)
WWF's 1994 SummerSlam pay-per-view
The 1994 SummerSlam was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE). It was the seventh annual SummerSlam and took place on Monday, August 29, 1994, at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois. This was the United Center's first major event as well as its first professional wrestling event as the venue had only opened 11 days before SummerSlam. This was also the final SummerSlam to be held on a Monday, as it moved to Sunday the following year where it remained until 2021 when it moved to Saturday before the event expanded to a two-night broadcast on Saturday and Sunday beginning in 2025.
Eight matches were contested at the event, including one dark match held before the live broadcast. The pay-per-view had two main events. The first pitted Owen Hart against his brother Bret Hart in a steel cage match for the WWF Championship. Bret won the match, but the storyline feud escalated after Owen and his brother-in-law Jim Neidhart attacked Bret after the match. The other main event saw The Undertaker defeat an impostor Undertaker (portrayed by Brian Lee). The undercard included a match for the WWF Intercontinental Championship between Diesel and Razor Ramon, which Ramon won to regain the title.

Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as wWF's 1994 SummerSlam pay-per-view. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 31, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q59295. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1994, 2021 and 2025.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
