Wrasslin is back in the Motor City.
One of the WWE's biggest Premium Live Events is taking place at Ford Field this summer. On August 5, WWE's SummerSlam event will take place at Ford Field, marking the first PLE to take place inside the home of the Detroit Lions for the first time since WrestleMania 23 in 2007. It also marks 30 years since the last SummerSlam event took place in the Detroit area, back in 1993 at The Palace of Auburn Hills.
“We are excited for Ford Field to host WWE’s biggest event of the summer and look forward to the WWE Universe converging on Detroit to celebrate SummerSlam’s long-awaited return to Michigan,” Dan Ventrelle, EVP, Talent at WWE said in a statement.
