Triple H was supposed to be viewed as the villain in the 14-minute match. However, the majority of fans inside the Air Canada Center in Toronto decided to boo Eugene instead.
Speaking to Karlifornia Infirri on WZWA Network’s Insiders Edge Podcast, Eugene said it was “awesome” to face Triple H in a marquee match. However, he also found it challenging to deal with the negative crowd reaction while facing Triple H.
The match included interferences from Ric Flair and William Regal. In the end, Triple H picked up the victory after hitting Eugene with a Pedigree.
Eugene’s feud with Triple H continued after SummerSlam 2004
Two weeks after SummerSlam 2004, Eugene defeated Triple H in a no disqualification match on the August 30 episode of WWE RAW.
Triple H exacted revenge for the loss a week later when he defeated his rival in a Steel Cage match on RAW.
Six days after the Steel Cage match, Triple H won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship from Randy Orton at Unforgiven 2004.
Eugene went on to win the WWE World Tag Team Championship with William Regal later in the same year.
