SummerSlam (1992) was the fifth annual SummerSlam professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). It took place on August 29, 1992, at Wembley Stadium, London, England, but was aired in the United States on August 31. The buildup to the pay-per-view consisted of feuds scripted by the WWF's writers. To date it is the only major WWF pay-per-view to take place outside North America.
The pay-per-view featured two main-event matches. In the first, The Ultimate Warrior challenged Randy Savage for the WWF World Heavyweight Championship. The Warrior won the match by countout but did not win the title. In the other main event, The "British Bulldog" Davey Boy Smith pinned Bret Hart to win the WWF Intercontinental Championship. The WWF Tag Team Championship was also defended, as The Natural Disasters retained the championship belts in their match against the Beverly Brothers. One of the heavily promoted matches on the undercard was between Shawn Michaels and Rick Martel. The match, which had a special stipulation that the wrestlers could not hit each other in the face, ended in a double countout.
