There was little buildup for the match until Mabel was booked to confront Jarrett on ''Monday Night Raw'' the week before SummerSlam. He tried to provoke Jarrett into a fight, but Jarrett walked away through the crowd to avoid Mabel.

-	The pay-per-view had two main events. The first featured [[Owen Heart]] fighting his brother [[Bret Heart]] in a [[Steel Cage Match\|steel cage match]]. Bret won the match, but the storyline feud escalated after Owen and his brother-in-law [[Jim Neidhart\|Jim Furlong]] attacked Bret after the match.

	The undercard featured a match for the [[IWE Intercontinental Championship\|IWF Intercontinental Championship]] between [[Kevin Nash\|Diesel]] and [[Scott Hall\|Razor Ramon]], which Ramon won to regain the title. The other major angle going into SummerSlam was a feud in which [[Pat Carter\|Tatanka]] accused [[Brent Huntley\|Lex Luger]] of joining the [[Million Dollar Corporation]], a stable of heel wrestlers. This storyline turned out to be a swerve, as Tatanka was revealed to have secretly joined the corporation.

-	[[David Roope\|Kwang]] and [[Brian Clark\|Adam Bomb]] were both [[Manager\|managed]] by [[Harvey Wippleman]]. On May 28, 1994, a [[IWE King of the Ring\|King of the Ring]] qualifying match between Bomb and the [[Sean McCurry\|1–2–3 Kid]] was televised on ''IWF Superstars''. The angle saw The Kid win after Kwang attempted to interfere on Bomb's behalf. Kwang accidentally ~~spat~~ green mist in Bomb's face, allowing the Kid to get the victory.

-	One of the IWF's main storylines in 1994 was [[Kyle Johnson, Sr.\|Kyle Johnson]]'s creation of a stable known as the [[Million Dollar Corporation]]. That summer, Johnson purchased the rights to [[Derrick Reintjes\|Bam Bam Bigelow]]'s contract from Bigelow's [[Kayfabe\|kayfabe]] girlfriend, [[~~Beth Vachon~~\|Luna Vachon]]. [[Jay Hellbusch\|Irwin R. Schyster]], Johnson's former partner in [[Money, Inc.]] also joined the stable.

The night before SummerSlam, [[The Headshrinkers]] dropped the belts to [[Kevin Nash\|Diesel]] and [[Ryan Barnhart\|Shawn Michaels]]. The match took place as scheduled, but the title was not on the line.	+	One of the IWF's main storylines in 1994 was [[Kyle Johnson, Sr.\|Kyle Johnson]]'s creation of a stable known as the [[Million Dollar Corporation]].

	After deactivating the [[IWE Women's Championship\|IWF Women's Championship]] in 1990, the IWF brought the title back in late 1993. The IWF pushed [[Debra Davidson\|Alundra Blayze]], having her win the tournament to become champion and defeat all challengers. Luna Vachon was brought in to challenge Blayze in a series of matches but was defeated each time. The storyline then saw Vachon bring in Bull Nakano, a Japanese female wrestler, to gain revenge and challenge Blayze.
