By Michael Hamflett / February 8, 2023

WWE have confirmed that Detroit's Ford Field will host this year's SummerSlam on Saturday 5th August.

Delivering the news in a press release on WWE.com, they said;

“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 Dan Ventrelle, EVP, Talent at WWE. 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,” said DSC Executive Director Dave Beachnau. “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.”

WWE last ran the venue in 2007 when it hosted WrestleMania 23, which was at the time a celebration of 20 years since the 'Show Of Shows' held its iconic third edition of the show in Michigan. 'The Biggest Party Of The Summer' will also be an anniversary of sorts for the state - 1993's SummerSlam took place in Auburn Hills, just 30 miles away from where the show will eminate from 30 years later.
