3. Kings Court w/Carlos Vega: Jerry Lawler introduces “one of the toughest men in the WWF” Carlos Vega as his guest on Kings Court this week. Lawler talks about his recent feud with Razor Ramon and how at some point it has to come to an end. Vega agrees and tells Lawler that he is sick of the fans cheering for a fake, a turncoat like Razor Ramon. “Ramon turned his back on his true family and he will turn his back on all of you, too.” Vega is here to challenge Ramon to a fight, not a match at SummerSlam. He wants them to fight like they would on the streets of Miami. Thus, he is challenging Razor to a STREET FIGHT at SummerSlam. “There will be no rules. Two men enter, and one man survives.” Vega hopes that Ramon has developed some kind of courage because he believes Ramon is afraid of what Vega will do to him!

Lex tells Ross that he is sure that everyone expecting him to decline the match, but he isn’t going to. “I’ve beaten the Hitman once before and I know I’ll do it again.” Last year, Luger beat Bret and it created a series of events that ruined Bret’s year and almost ruined his family. Lex knows that Bret considers himself a submission specialist and wants to be the man to make Bret crumble again.

Bearer hopes that King Yokozuna isn’t afraid of the dark because at SummerSlam, Yoko will only be seeing the dark. The camera goes to The Undertaker who looks up and simply says “King Yokozuna, you will rest…in…peace.”
10. Bam-Bam Bigelow defeated Dave Saunders in 2:10 following a diving head butt. After the match, Jerry Lawler ran down to the ring and was about to attack Bigelow, but Bam-Bam turned around and Lawler ran away quickly. Bigelow calls Lawler back to the ring but Jerry declines to do so.
