context_page_description: SummerSlam (2013) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by WWE that took place on August 18, 2013 at Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. It was the twenty-sixth annual SummerSlam, and the fifth consecutive one held at Staples Center.
  The event's card consisted of nine matches, including one on the Kickoff pre-show. In the main event, Daniel Bryan defeated John Cena to become the new WWE Champion, with Triple H acting as special guest referee, only to be attacked by Triple H and lose it minutes later to Randy Orton, who cashed in the Money in the Bank contract. In other prominent matches, Alberto Del Rio defeated Christian to retain the World Heavyweight Championship and Brock Lesnar defeated CM Punk in a No Disqualification match.
  The event received 296,900 buys, down from last year's event of 358,000.
context_section_description: The first match pitted Kane against Bray Wyatt in a Ring of Fire match. Following two chokeslams, Kane gestured for a Tombstone Piledriver but Harper and Rowan overcame the flames using an asbestos blanket and were able to attack Kane, who was attempting to fight them off. Wyatt executed Sister Abigail on Kane for the win. Following the match, Wyatt retreated to his rocking chair and watched Harper and Rowan use two sets of steel steps to smash Kane's skull.
  The next match was between Cody Rhodes and Damien Sandow. In the end, Rhodes performed the Cross Rhodes to win the match.
  In the third match Alberto Del Rio faced Christian for the World Heavyweight Championship. Del Rio immediately began targeting Christian’s shoulder. The match ended when Christian performed a Spear on Del Rio but his injured shoulder prevented him from covering Del Rio. Del Rio forced Christian to submit to the Cross Armbreaker to retain the title. After the match, Del Rio declared himself (in both English and Spanish) a true role model for the WWE Universe.
  In the fourth match, Natalya faced Brie Bella. When Eva Marie and Nikki Bella tried to intervene, Cameron & Naomi stepped in on Natalya’s behalf, attacking Eva and Nikki. After an Alabama Slam, Natalya forced Brie to submit to the Sharpshooter to win the match.
