Wrestling fans will have another way to experience WWE‘s SummerSlam next month, if they can’t attend in person.

The two-night event, taking place at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, will also screen live in select Regal Cinemas across the U.S. on Saturday, August 2 and Sunday, August 3, Deadline can exclusively reveal.

The experience marks the launch of a multi-event collaboration between WWE and Fandango. While Regal will be the official exhibitor for SummerSlam, additional exhibitors are expected to join for future WWE live events.

“WWE is one of the most electrifying global entertainment brands, and its events deserve to be experienced on the big screen,” Will McIntosh, President, Fandango, said in a statement Monday. “We’re thrilled to work with WWE and Regal Cinemas to bring the action-packed SummerSlam 2025 cinema presentation to fans nationwide.”

Tickets are now on sale now at Fandango. Fans will have two ticket options to experience SummerSlam on the big screen — either a single-night ticket for Saturday or Sunday, or a two-night ticket bundle that includes access to both screenings and an exclusive SummerSlam t-shirt.

SummerSlam will feature the highly anticipated rematch between Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena and WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes, picking up where they left off after they last met in the ring at Wrestlemania 41.

For those who can’t make it to the theater, SummerSlam will also stream live at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT on Peacock in the U.S. and on Netflix internationally.

“WWE has redefined how fans connect with live entertainment, and bringing SummerSlam to Regal’s screens elevates that experience to a whole new level,” Brooks LeBoeuf, Senior Vice President of US Content at Regal Cinemas, said in a statement of their own. “We’re excited to partner with WWE and Fandango to deliver this immersive, action-packed event in theaters —making fans feel like they’re ringside, no matter where they are.”

Part of me has always wanted to try this but ive often wondered how many people will actually show up for it and whether or not we gotta shut up while the shows going.

So I've been to rasslin shows at movie theaters before (saw a few of the AEW PPVs there).

Cheering and all that shit's perfectly fine.

As for this news, it's great. I do wonder how successful it will be though. Do you want to spend $20 a head to go to a theater and watch the show (while buying overpriced concessions) or do you want to spend $10.99 for a month of Peacock and watch it from the comfort of your own home.

I think the people who do this, would be the folks who find it fun to watch wrestling with a crowd of people, instead of alone or a few friends or family at home. Which might make paying the extra money worth it.

I assume if you're inclined and make the effort, it's an easy way to try and meet other friends in the area into wrestling

I think I’d rather watch at home by myself but this is cool for people that are interested in watching with other folks.
