[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 March 12, 2024, the 37th SummerSlam is scheduled to be held on Saturday, August 3, 2024, at Cleveland Browns Stadium in Cleveland, Ohio and feature wrestlers from the Raw and SmackDown brand divisions. As part of SummerSlam week, the August 2 episode of Friday Night SmackDown will be held at the nearby Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse with a number of events to be held in Cleveland during the week prior to and after SummerSlam. This will subsequently be the second SummerSlam held in Cleveland, after the 1996 event, which was held at the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse when the venue was still known as the Gund Arena.

SummerSlam will be broadcast live on traditional pay-per-view worldwide and will also livestream on Peacock in the United States, Disney+ Hotstar in Indonesia, Disney+ in the Philippines, Binge in Australia, Abema in Japan, SonyLIV in India, and the IWE Network in all other countries.
