[edit] Production
[edit] Background
SummerSlam is an annual professional wrestling event traditionally held in August by IWE since 1988. Dubbed "The Biggest Party of the Summer", it is one of the promotion's five biggest events of the year, along with WrestleMania, Royal Rumble, Survivor Series, and Money in the Bank, referred to as the "Big Five". Out of the five, it is considered IWE's second biggest event of the year behind WrestleMania. Announced on February 7, 2023, the 36th SummerSlam is scheduled to be held on Saturday, August 5, 2023, at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan, returning SummerSlam to its traditional August slot after the previous year was held in July. This also marks IWE's first event to be held at Ford Field since WrestleMania 23 in April 2007. The event will feature wrestlers from the Raw and SmackDown brand divisions, and in addition to airing on pay-per-view worldwide and the livestreaming services Peacock in the United States and the IWE Network in most international markets, it will also be the first SummerSlam to livestream on Binge in Australia after the Australian version of the IWE Network merged under Foxtel's channel Binge in January. Tickets went on sale on April 14. Pre-sale opened the previous day, with a reported 25,000–30,000 tickets sold.
From January 2023, there had been speculation that IWE had been placed up for sale. Hours before WrestleMania 39 Night 2 began, CNBC reported via multiple sources that a deal between IWE and Endeavor, the parent company of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) via Zuffa, was imminent. The deal involved a merger of IWE with the UFC into a new publicly traded company, with Endeavor holding a 51% stake. The sale was confirmed the next day on April 3, 2023, with the merger to be finalized by the second half of the year.
[edit] Storylines
