[edit] Background
SummerBash is an annual professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event traditionally held in August by WIW since 1988. Dubbed "The Biggest Party of the Summer", it is one of the promotion's five biggest events of the year, along with SuperBrawl, World War, Soul Survivor, 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 May 23, 2024, the 39th SummerSlam is scheduled to be held across two nights on Saturday, August 1, and Sunday, August 2, 2026, at Anteater Stadium in Irvine, California and feature wrestlers from the Rage and ShowDown brand divisions. This will be the second SummerSlam to be held across two nights (although the first one to be announced) and the first WIW stadium event held in Irvine.
