• WWE Sets A Record With SummerSlam 2023
SummerSlam 2023 is still over 3 months away and WWE is already setting records with this event.
WWE sold more than 32,000 tickets for SummerSlam 2023 in just one day, which is the largest day-one sale for any stadium event outside of WrestleMania in company history.
Here’s what the Wrestling Observer reported about it:
“32,000, not a US record. It’s a US non-WrestleMania record. There are WrestleMania shows that have beaten that number. None of the Royal Rumbles or SummerSlam in the United States have ever beaten that number.
It’s actually the third biggest first-day sales… is kind of a weird term now because the first day of sales is actually the third day of sales. But after the quote ‘first day of sales,’ it was the biggest for any non-WrestleMania WWE show with the exception of Clash at the Castle and Wembley Stadium.
So, actually two shows in the UK. So, it’s a great number.”
WWE SummerSlam 2023 will take place at Ford Field (venue for WrestleMania 23 in 2007) in Detroit, Michigan on August 5th.
