An 11-year-old aspiring wrestler enters a competition to become the next WWE superstar by using special powers from a magical mask.

The 2023 SummerSlam is the upcoming 36th annual SummerSlam professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming event produced by WWE. It will be held for wrestlers from the promotion's Raw and SmackDown brand divisions. The event is scheduled to take place on Saturday, August 5, 2023, at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan, returning the event to its traditional August slot after the previous year's event was held in July. This will also be the first SummerSlam to be livestreamed on Binge in Australia. This also marks WWE's first event to be held at Ford Field since WrestleMania 23 in April 2007, and the first SummerSlam to be held in Michigan since 1993.

It is the one night of the year where Raw and SmackDown go head-to-head at Survivor Series as champions will collide and teams will do battle to determine who the ultimate survivors from each brand really are!

The biggest party of the Summer is not only back, but for the first time ever, will be taking place in an NFL arena at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Witness "The Head of the Table" Roman Reigns take on John Cena for the WWE Universal Championship, Nikki A.S.H. facing off against Charlotte Flair & Rhea Ripley in a Triple Threat Match for the WWE Raw Women's Championship, and The All Mighty WWE Champion Bobby Lashley defending his title against the unstoppable Goldberg.

The final stop on the Road to WrestleMania 37 shifts into high gear as Nia Jax & Shayna Baszler take on Bianca Belair & SmackDown Women's Champion Sasha Banks for the Women's Tag Team Championships, Braun Strowman gets his chance at revenge against Shane McMahon, Big E defends his Intercontinental Championship against Apollo Crews, and "The Head of the Table" Roman Reigns faces off with Daniel Bryan for the Universal Championship.

Royal Rumble Matches featuring Raw and Smackdown Superstars and surprise entrants offer a path to chase championship glory at WrestleMania. Brock Lesnar defends the WWE Championship against Bobby Lashley in a clash of the titans.

It's time once again for yet another climb towards a golden opportunity for potential, future championship gold for these WWE Superstars as both the Men's & Women's Money in the Bank briefcases are up for grabs (in front of a full live crowd for the first time in over a year no less!). Also, "The Head of the Table" Roman Reigns will be defending his Universal Championship against "The Rated R Superstar" Edge, "The All-Mighty" WWE Champion Bobby Lashley faces off against Kofi Kingston for Lashley's title, and Rhea Ripley defends her Raw Women's Championship against "The Queen" Charlotte Flair.

The most stupendous two-night event in WrestleMania history begins. Stone Cold Steve Austin returns to confront Kevin Owens on “The KO Show.” Ronda Rousey challenges Charlotte Flair for the WWE Smackdown Women’s Title. Becky Lynch defends the WWE Raw Women’s Championship against Bianca Belair.
