Three of the next five SummerSlams don't conclude with a World Championship match, and four of the five ended with a certain "Beast Incarnate" working on top. Brock Lesnar treaded once more upon the WWE landscape in the spring of 2012, months after losing his then-final UFC fight to Alastair Overeem. Lesnar's new WWE deal made him one of those dreaded "part-timers" that came and went to the star's convenience, and promised big bucks for lesser dates. Pretty sweet deal if you can get it.

Owed to his mainstream success, not to mention Extreme Rules 2012's 25 percent buyrate increase from the year before (thanks to Lesnar headlining), Brock was given the main event slot of SummerSlam 2012 against Triple H. The same Triple H who played a valiant babyface and was serenaded with chants of "YOU TAPPED OUT" once he lost the mainer. Warms the cockles of your heart, does it not?

Aside from the prodigal Lesnar getting top-bill, it wasn't much of a SummerSlam to write home about. Certainly not a bad show, but not a great one either, seemingly peaking after a hot Chris Jericho/Dolph Ziggler opener. Another one of those "comfortably average" events.
