SummerSlam is the WWE's second-biggest show of the year, but there have been times throughout the near 30-year history of the event where it stole the spotlight from WrestleMania by being the better show.

WrestleMania 41 didn’t feature any ladder matches, but originally plans suggested a ladder match for each night of the show. On the Intercontinental Title side, Jey Uso would’ve defended against Damian Priest, Sami Zayn, Sheamus, Bronson Reed, and Ludwig Kaiser. Uso would’ve likely defeated Breakker on the Road to WrestleMania.

WWE legend Austin, whose iconic WrestleMania 13 clash with Bret Hart was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame at 'Mania 41, was set to be a special guest referee in a match between Drew McIntyre and Bron Breakker.
