Stay updated with the latest WWE news, rumors, match results, and spoilers on SummerSlam. From blockbuster main events and shocking title changes to backstage developments and premium live event fallout, follow every twist from WWE’s biggest party of the summer.
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.
