Last night at SummerSlam The Continental Airlines Arena unveiled a permanent banner that honors World Wrestling Entertainment for bringing in one million fans during their 92 live events they have ran there from 1992-until now. A camera captured the one millionth fan entering the venue and he was later shown on the Titantron live before the pay-per-view went on the air. He received a signed WWE replica belt autographed by WWE champion John Cena and Randy Orton.

Last night's SummerSlam pre-show meet and greet featured Jimmy Hart, Cryme Time and Matt Striker. It was originally scheduled to feature several Divas. At one point during the pay-per-view Ron Simmons was out by the concession stands taking photos and greeting fans.

- Visitors backstage at last night’s WWE SummerSlam pay-per-view included, Jimmy Snuka, Robert Gibson (who is now working as a trainer for WWE), former WCW talent Teddy Reade (a/k/a Swole in Master P’s No Limit Soldiers), former ROH Champion Xavier, and Dick Kroll.

- WWE played a long promotional video to the live crowd last night at SummerSlam, hyping the company’s mainstream crossover appeal, popularity, and revenue streams. The piece is usually played at corporate events.

- As we reported earlier, there was a dark match before SummerSlam featuring Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch defeating Paul London & Brian Kendrick. According to several fan reports, the match was very well done.
