What to know about WWE SummerSlam at Nissan Stadium this weekend
The second biggest WWE annual premium live event of the year is in Nashville, Tennessee, this weekend.
SummerSlam takes place Saturday at Nissan Stadium, headlined by the unified WWE Universal Championship title match between champion Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar.
WWE is currently going through an eventful summer with many changes. Vince McMahon, the longtime chairman, CEO and lead creative mind, announced his retirement last Friday amid an internal investigation by the company regarding McMahon using millions of dollars (as reported by WWE in federal securities disclosures on Monday) for payments to quiet allegations of sexual misconduct.

WWE's board of directors appointed Stephanie McMahon and Nick Khan as co-CEOs. Stephanie McMahon, Vince McMahon's daughter, was also named chairwoman of the board. Paul Levesque, known in the wrestling world as Triple H and the husband of Stephanie McMahon, has assumed lead creative duties.
With that, SummerSlam is the first post-Vince McMahon premium live event in WWE. Here's what you need to know about this weekend.
SummerSlam tickets?
There are still tickets available for the first WWE event inside Nissan Stadium. WrestleTix, a Patreon-supported overseer of pro wrestling ticket sales, estimates that more than 35,000 tickets have been sold as of Thursday.
Tickets start at $25 and fans can still find ringside seats on sale.
Parking?
Fans can still purchase parking through Nissan Stadium via Ticketmaster for $35 plus fees.

I'm interested in going to SummerSlam but aren't fully up-to-date on storylines. What can I do?
On Friday night, SmackDown airs on FOX. That'll be the final show before SummerSlam and should serve as a good refresher for storylines and Saturday's matches.
