WWE Expands SummerSlam To Two Nights At MetLife Stadium

WWE is expanding SummerSlam into a two-night event for the first time, following the successful model of WrestleMania's two-night format, according to WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque. He described the event as a destination weekend where fans treat it like a vacation, with multiple days of wrestling activities, including SmackDown, NXT, and live events, likening the experience to "Disney for pro wrestling." The two-night SummerSlam, taking place at MetLife Stadium, will feature a stacked card with two world championship main events and several title matches, offering fans significantly more content than previous years. Triple H emphasized that the business demand supports this expansion and that the event is part of a larger week of wrestling festivities in the New Jersey and New York area. Additionally, Triple H discussed the challenges WWE faces today with internet spoilers and how fan interest extends beyond in-ring action to behind-the-scenes content. The event also overcame a recent hurdle with Drew McIntyre’s temporary travel issue, confirming his participation in the match lineup.
