The third match on the undercard that had significant build-up was Shawn Michaels versus Razor Ramon in a feud for the WWF Intercontinental Championship.

The pay-per-view received a 0.9 buyrate, equivalent to approximately 205,000 buys in 1995 (1.0 equated to roughly 230,000 homes in the domestic market that year).

Summerslam 1995 was the last WWF PPV before the Monday Night War era of September 4, 1995 to March 26, 2001, during which WWF's Raw, and World Championship Wrestling's Nitro competed for ratings in a weekly Monday night time slot, which is now widely seen as the "golden age" of pro-wrestling.

SummerSlam is an annual pay-per-view (PPV) produced every August by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE) since 1988.

Dubbed "The Biggest Party of the Summer",[3] it is one of the promotion's original four pay-per-views, along with WrestleMania, Royal Rumble, and Survivor Series,[4] and was considered one of the "Big Five" PPVs, along with King of the Ring.

[9][10] On the August 7 episode of Monday Night Raw, Diesel faced Sir Mo.

Halfway through the interview, Davey Boy Smith appeared and suggested he and Diesel team for a match against Men on a Mission (Mabel and Mo).

During the match, Smith turned on Diesel and sided with Men on a Mission, leading to a three-on-one assault on the champion.

[12] The feud between The Undertaker and Kama (a member of Ted Dibiase's Million Dollar Corporation) began at WrestleMania XI.

[13] Immediately afterward, Kama declared (in an interview with Jim Ross) his intention to melt down the urn.

[14] The urn was revealed to have become a gold necklace, first worn by Kama prior to his match with Scott Taylor on the April 10 episode of Raw.

[15] On the April 23 episode of Action Zone, The Undertaker defeated Sycho Sid, another member of The Million Dollar Corporation.

On the pay-per-view, a black wreath was ringside for the whole of Kama's quarterfinal match with Shawn Michaels, which ended in a draw.

He performed a double axe handle off the top rope onto Sid on the outside of the ring, helping Diesel retain the title.

That night, commentator Jerry Lawler stated his desire for a shot at Michaels' title.

Michaels would now defend the Intercontinental Championship in a ladder match against Razor Ramon, despite a lack of any onscreen buildup.

[23] Despite being removed from SummerSlam, Sid was granted a future title shot, against whoever would be champion on the September 11 episode of Raw.

[19] The following night on Raw, a vignette aired, showing Lawler visiting his dentist, Isaac Yankem, D.D.S., to have his teeth cleaned of foot smell.

Moments after winning the title from Bull Nakano, Alundra Blayze was attacked by an unknown woman (later introduced as Bertha Faye).

[30] Faye, managed by Harvey Whippleman, had her debut match on the April 24 Raw, squashing La Pantera Serena.

[31] Blayze made her Raw return on May 29, stating she was cleared to wrestle in an interview with Vince McMahon.

The Kid attempted to perform his finisher, a spinning crescent kick, but Hakushi countered it into the Nenbutsu Bomb and pinned him.

The Blu Brothers held the advantage for the majority of the match, making quick tags to work over Billy.

Billy eventually made the hot tag to Bart, who gained the immediate advantage but was booted in the face by Jacob.

Kama fought his way out of the casket several times and reversed the momentum with a leaping fist from the top rope.

At one point, the Undertaker clotheslined Kama and both men went over the top rope into the casket and the lid shut but the match continued until a winner was decided.

The Undertaker eventually ducked a clothesline and choke slammed, then Tombstone Pile-driver, and then rolled Kama into the casket, closed the lid, and was declared the winner.

However, Hart ended with his head twisted in the ropes and Lawler and Yankem pulling on his feet to choke him.

Lex Luger came out from the backstage to help but ended up getting hit by Diesel in the fray and knocked back out.

[8] The night after SummerSlam was New Fall Season that aired on August 28, 1995 (taped on September 7, 1995) with "Raw on Roof" from Titan Towers following Superstars on September 9 then Raw on September 11 Lex Luger made his second to last appearance on WWF television in the main event (preventing Sir Mo from further interfering), and that led to a six-man tag match with Sir Mo, Mabel, and Sid in losing fashion to Lex, Shawn Michaels & The Undertaker that aired on New Fall Season on September 11, 1995 as a dark match before the show, and marked the end of The Allied Powers, making this Lex's final appearance.
