Low attendance reported for WWE SummerSlam as Meltzer reacts

WWE SummerSlam 2026 took place at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, with attendance falling short of expectations. Dave Meltzer commented that the company is likely downplaying the low turnout, noting that the first night reported around 35,000 attendees. Despite this, an official attendance figure was not announced, marking a notable absence for a major WWE event. Meltzer expressed concern that the attendance was significantly lower compared to the previous year's SummerSlam, and hinted that WWE may be anxious about competing with AEW's upcoming All In event, which is projected to draw higher numbers.
