WWE hosting SummerSlam Kickoff party at Fanatics Fest in NYC

05/16/2026

WWE is hosting a SummerSlam Kickoff party at the Javitz Center during Fanatics Fest in July, weeks before the actual PLE takes place…in a different state.

Set to be held on Sunday, July 19, the SummerSlam Kickoff party will be hosted by Michael Cole and will feature the appearance of several WWE Superstars who happen to be at Fanatics Fest that weekend.

The Javitz Center is in New York City and SummerSlam is on August 1 and August 2 in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

SummerSlam has so far bombed when it comes to ticket sales, with the two-night combo tickets barely moving on Ticketmaster.com.

Tickets for Fanatics Fest are available at fanaticsfest.com.
