WWE SummerSlam

WWE SummerSlam is WWE’s biggest annual event of the summer and one of its original "Big Four" pay-per-views, alongside WrestleMania, Royal Rumble, and Survivor Series. Known for blockbuster matches and high-profile moments, SummerSlam has served as the backdrop for historic title changes, shocking betrayals, and iconic wrestling showdowns since its inception in 1988.

WWE SummerSlam Event History

The first SummerSlam took place in 1988 at Madison Square Garden and was designed to rival the growing success of WrestleMania by bringing major matches to a mid-year audience. Over the decades, SummerSlam has traveled across the United States and internationally, evolving into a multi-day weekend spectacle complete with fan festivals and premium live events.

Some of the most memorable moments include Brock Lesnar defeating The Rock in 2002 to become the youngest WWE Champion, Bret Hart vs. British Bulldog at Wembley Stadium in 1992, and the 2021 return of Becky Lynch. It has become a reliable stage for WWE’s biggest summer stories to conclude or intensify, often with implications leading into Survivor Series and beyond.
