WWE just announced that the 2023 SummerSlam Premium Live Event will be held at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan on Saturday, August 5.

This will be the first WWE event to be held at the home of the NFL’s Detroit Lions since WrestleMania 23 in 2007, and the first SummerSlam event to take place in Detroit since 1993.

“We are excited for Ford Field to host WWE’s biggest event of the summer and look forward to the WWE Universe converging on Detroit to celebrate SummerSlam’s long-awaited return to Michigan,” said WWE Executive Vice President of Talent Dan Ventrelle in today’s press release.

Detroit Sports Commission Executive Director Dave Beachnau added, “Landing WWE SummerSlam at Ford Field is a signature win for Detroit and continues the momentum of the Detroit Sports Commission in attracting major sporting events to the region. Metro Detroit enjoys a special place in WWE history and has produced many iconic moments. Thank you to the entire WWE family for entrusting us with this incredible opportunity, and we look forward to delivering a first-class experience.”

Wonder if long ass gaps between PPVs in the later months of the year are going to be the norm going forward with SummerSlam being positioned so early again.

He's gonna sell out Fox Theatre.

Oh snap, I'm only about an hour south of Detroit. Might have to look into getting tickets for this one.

[CMWaters]

Hmm...Detroit, Wrestling, major event...

Time for a WCW legend to make his WWE debut!

The robocop statue might actually be finished by then... what am I saying it will be another 4 years.

Ford Field looked sick for WM23 so I'm excited to see what they do for setup this time.

And this was during what ended up being the last months of WWE broadcasting in SD and even then it looked huge. Yeah, I know WWE was probably using HD cameras to better prepare for the switch but still.

I look forward to Cody cutting promos on the car industry and the American Dream.

Chad Gable's getting his ass kicked by Aidan Hutchinson.

Nothing says a good summer vacation like a trip to Detroit.

If tickets aren’t crazy dick expensive I’d love to go

[Ben Wyatt]

Wait.....Detroit? Aw f***, this means Kid Rock will probably be there performing

[YAKMAN is ICHIBAN]

I was there for WM23.

I don't know if I'll bother with this. To get tickets that aren't nosebleeds will just be so expensive, and the hassle of dealing with parking etc.

I would be surprised if it’s not the set up from Nashville. That seems to be the norm for the giant stadiums they don’t expect to fully sellout.

I dunno, that might get in the way of his pretending to be Southern. We might be safe.

Palace of Aruburn Hills or The Joe Louis Arena.
