In May, WWE announced that SummerSlam 2026 will take place in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and it will be a two-night event, similar to WrestleMania.
During the SummerSlam 2024 post-show, Triple H was asked if this year was the last time SummerSlam was held as a single night event and if other events might also extend to two nights in the future.
HHH mentioned that even though SummerSlam had 7 matches this year, there was much more that could have been included.
Regarding the shift to two nights, he indicated that this was likely the final year SummerSlam would be a one-night-only event.
Here’s what The Game said:
“Who knows what the future brings? But I do think that, even tonight, seeing this SummerSlam, 7 match card goes almost 4 hours, and yet there was a lot of stuff we could have put into this.
Some people say, ‘Why wasn’t that in there?’ Because it would have been 8 hours, right, and you still need stuff for RAW, you still need content for SmackDown. You still need all that stuff. As we continue to grow, we’ll take it step by step.
So is this the last SummerSlam that you see that is one night? I think so. But we’ll see where that goes long-term. I’m excited about that opportunity. As far as other PLEs going that way, you can never just say this is what we do, and then that’s it, and that’s locked in, and that’s what we do.
If you go back 5 years, who would have thought we would have been doing two-night WrestleManias, let alone two-night WrestleManias and two-night SummerSlams. So we’ll see where it goes. That’s an important part of where we go with it, but an important part of where we go with that also is bringing these events around the globe.”
