INDIANAPOLIS - Using a devastating Pedigree, WWE Champion Triple H toppled his largest opponent ever - the 7-foot, 3-inch, 420-pound Great Khali - to retain his title at the Biggest Blockbuster of the Summer.

In their first-ever match, The Game and the Punjabi Giant exchanged a series of attacks with one goal in mind - the WWE Championship.

In the weeks leading up to SummerSlam, both Superstars made their intentions known in encounters on SmackDown - neither was backing down from the other.

First, The King of Kings took on The Great Khali in a risky Indian Broken Glass Arm Wrestling Contest. But before a winner could be determined, the Punjabi Giant head butted the champion and crushed his head with an overpowering Vise Grip. Then, just one week later on SmackDown, the two clashed again with The Game knocking the giant off of his feet and out of the ring. In both SmackDown encounters, The Game failed to lock the Great Khali in the Pedigree.

But at SummerSlam, The King of Kings was able to battle back from sessions in the Khali Vise Grip and the Khali Chop to apply his signature move, picking up the victory and retaining the gold.

Since coming to SmackDown from Raw via the 2008 WWE Draft, Triple H has rocked Edge's world with hidden video footage of the Rated-R Superstar. And now, The Game has defeated the 420-pound Punjabi Giant. Who or what can stop The King of Kings?

INDIANAPOLIS - The mood suddenly turned solemn at the Conseco Fieldhouse as Shawn Michaels stepped out in front of the WWE Universe with his wife Rebecca to make an announcement that all our WWE fans have been both awaiting and fearing at the same time. That sentiment turned to disgust thanks to Chris Jericho.

If it weren't for the despicable actions of Jericho in the first place, Michaels wouldn't be in this situation with his potential retirement looming in the air. In multiple altercations with the man formerly referred to as Y2J, Michaels has injured and re-injured his eye, even possibly detaching his retina.

After Michaels announced that he would take his doctor's advice and hang up his boots, Chris Jericho's music blasted through the arena to interrupt The Showstopper's emotional farewell. What followed was a war of words between the two, but the situation then escalated to unimaginable heights.

Following Jericho demanding that Michaels tell his wife, his children and all the WWE Universe that Jericho was the reason that HBK had to retire, a proud Michaels agreed only if Jericho went home and told his own wife and children that he will never be The Showstopper. These words sent his rival over the edge. In an attempt to attack HBK, Jericho missed and struck Michaels' wife Rebecca instead.

Immediately after, Michaels dropped down by his wife's side tending to her and holding her in his arms. The whole time Michaels and WWE officials cared for Rebecca, Jericho just stared on as he slowly backed his way up the ramp to the locker room area.

There is no doubt that even though Jericho may believe he has matured and is looking to take his career to new heights as his own savior, he has - in reality - only sunk lower then ever before, especially following his inexcusable actions at SummerSlam. 

Also, where does this leave HBK? Can he truly walk away after what Jericho did to his wife?

Over the years, Shawn Michaels has treated the WWE Universe to many memorable moments. But at SummerSlam, when HBK addresses our fans, it may be the most memorable moment in the career of The Showstopper, because it's then that we'll learn whether Michaels will be returning to in-ring competition.

Michaels is currently suffering from a detached retina, originally sustained when his face was smashed into the Jeri-Tron 6000 by an enraged Chris Jericho. Though he could barely see out of the afflicted eye, HBK fought with Y2J frequently over the coming weeks, culminating in a match at The Great American Bash. The devious Jericho focused all his attentions on the **** in his opponent's armor: Shawn Michaels' right eye. After defeating HBK, Y2J immediately began claiming to have ended Michaels' career by way of severe injuries to his right eye.

A few weeks later, in an exclusive interview on Raw, Shawn Michaels addressed the WWE Universe, stating that he is indeed severely injured not only with his detached retina, but also multiple problems related to his broken ribs. While The Showstopper is laid up for now, the jury is still out on whether he will be able to return to the ring. HBK has one more medical evaluation, for which he will find out the results the Friday before SummerSlam. Then, two days later, at the Biggest Blockbuster of the Summer, Michaels will share his doctor's findings, which will determine whether HBK will be allowed to compete again.

Could SummerSlam mark the end of the career of one of sports-entertainment's most celebrated Superstars, or will Shawn Michaels be cleared to return to the legacy he has created for himself?
