SummerSlam
SummerSlam is considered WWE's second biggest event of the year behind their flagship event, WrestleMania. It is also considered one of the company's five biggest pay-per-view (PPV) events of the year, along with WrestleMania, Royal Rumble, Survivor Series, and Money in the Bank, referred to as the "Big Five". ##
In addition to PPV, the event has aired on the WWE Network since 2014 and Peacock since 2021. The inaugural SummerSlam took place on August 29, 1988, at Madison Square Garden in New York City. ##
During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, that year's SummerSlam was WWE's first PPV produced from their bio-secure bubble, the WWE ThunderDome. ##
After the promotion resumed live touring with fans in July 2021, that year's SummerSlam was promoted as the "biggest event of 2021" due to WrestleMania 37 having to be held at a reduced venue capacity. The 2021 SummerSlam in turn became the highest-grossing SummerSlam event of all time. ##
