DX Invades SummerSlam Intro:
A usual PPV video package opener begins for SummerSlam, when out of nowhere some hand puppet shadows start showing up. We hear HHH and HBK’s voice saying stuff like "it’s the PPV intro you can’t do that" and they continue to make hand puppets. The video finally freezes, peals, and Triple H and Shawn Michaels walk in front of the camera with a blank white screen behind them. HBK tells HHH he used to be a TV repair man, and tells him he can fix the PPV. They walk towards the camera and a DX hype-video plays. It cuts out again and HBK and HHH are in front of the camera again. HHH asks HBK why he couldn’t fix it. He says he forgot. HHH says the important thing is we got the message. HBK asks what the message is. HHH says you know, the message that "we’re baaaack!" HHH looks into the camera and says start the show. The music and regular SummerSlam video returns and we go live in the arena with pyro. Jim Ross welcomes us to the 22nd SummerSlam extravaganza.
