==Recap==
[[File:Vlcsnap-2010-11-20-19h04m47s91.png|thumb|left|[[Shawn Michaels]] joins the commentary team]]This pre-SummerSlam episode of Heat began with [[Shawn Michaels]] joining [[Jim Ross]] and [[Shane McMahon]] on commentary.

[[Animal]] and [[Darren Drozdov]] were set to take on [[Too Much]], but a visibly inebriated [[Hawk]] insisted on replacing Drozdov. Animal wrestled the entirety of the match, but when he signalled Hawk to go to the top rope for the [[Doomsday Device]], Hawk bungled and hit Animal instead. Too Much got the upset win. During the match [[Edge]] is shown watching from the audience.

[[Steve Austin]] is shown waiting in the backstage area with a [[sledgehammer]].

Shawn Michaels interviewed [[Sable]] inside the ring. Sable refuses to name her mystery partner for her SummerSlam match against [[Jacqueline]] & [[Marc Mero]]. She then danced with Michaels.

[[Gangrel]] defeated [[Dustin Runnels]] with the Implant DDT in an even match.

[[Michael Cole]] met up with [[D-Generation X]] backstage. [[Triple H]] vows that nothing will be the same after tonight.

Michael Cole interviewed [[Vince McMahon, Jr.|Vince McMahon]] backstage about Steve Austin. McMahon stated that he can't let Austin injure [[Undertaker]] with a sledgehammer and ruin his main event.

[[Jeff Jarrett]] & [[Southern Justice]] came to the ring for an interview but instead held down [[Howard Finkel]] and shaved his head to promote Jarrett's upcoming [[Wrestling match types#Luchas de Apuestas|hair match]] with [[X-Pac]]. Jarrett tells X-Pac not to piss him off.

[[Sgt. Slaughter]], [[Gerald Brisco]], & [[Pat Patterson]] tried to take Austin's sledgehammer away, but he threatened them. They reported back to Vince McMahon who decided to take care of the problem himself.

[[Bradshaw]] and [[Vader]] teamed up to take on the [[Disciples of Apocalypse]], but it was clear fro the very start that they weren't on the same page. After a staredown to see who gets to start the match, things quickly devolved and they ended up brawling. [[Skull]] takes advantage of the dischord by rolling up Vader for the win. Bradshaw and Vader brawl after the match.
