WWE pushing diversity at Las Vegas mega event SummerSlam

SummerSlam promotion set to feature title defences by one of WWE’s most ethnically mixed selection of champions.

Saturday night in Las Vegas will be a massive occasion for World Wrestling Entertainment. The promotion expects to host its biggest crowd since the start of the pandemic, with more than 40,000 fans set to pack Allegiant Stadium. The event will also see the much-anticipated return of wrestler turned Hollywood superstar, 16 times world champion John Cena. But moreover, SummerSlam will be a landmark moment for racial diversity. The event is set to feature title defences by one of WWE’s most ethnically mixed selection of champions, on a single night.
