The 38th annual WWE SummerSlam will take place on August 2-3 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, marking one of the biggest events in wrestling. Dominik Mysterio, the Intercontinental Champion and third-generation Superstar, is set to defend his title at this milestone event. Ahead of his match against AJ Styles, Dominik is offering WWE fans a unique chance to influence his in-ring attire by voting for the vest he will wear.
SummerSlam 2025: Key Details and Background
This SummerSlam marks the first time the event will be held over two nights, an expansion that aims to deliver a more significant experience for the WWE Universe. The venue, MetLife Stadium, previously hosted WrestleMania 29 and 35, adding to the event’s prestige. Sponsorship for SummerSlam 2025 includes Wingstop, Minute Maid, and Chase Freedom. The event will be broadcast on Peacock within the U.S. and streamed internationally on Netflix.
Dominik Mysterio first appeared at SummerSlam in 2020 in a street fight against Seth Rollins that lasted nearly 23 minutes. Now, returning as the Intercontinental Champion and the youngest member of The Judgment Day faction, he is preparing for his highly anticipated rubber match with AJ Styles. Their rivalry stems from back-and-forth victories on RAW, with AJ winning most recently on February 17, 2025, following Dominik’s win on October 17, 2022.
Fan-Driven Choice for Dominik’s SummerSlam Vest
Dominik Mysterio is widely recognized for his distinctive vests, which have become part of his wrestling identity. Partnering with Wingstop, he has launched an interactive poll allowing fans to select from four vest designs to decide which one he will wear during his SummerSlam match against AJ Styles. The voting options presented on the WWE website include a Short Skeleton Vest in Creme/White, a classic Black Vest, a Long Skeleton Vest in Creme/Black, and a Cow Print Vest.
“Normally I don’t care what the WWE Universe thinks, but SummerSlam is coming up and Wingstop is making moves to bring you the opportunity to vote on what vest I wear when I walk into the biggest event of the summer, and I’m feeling generous: 4 choices, 1 chance to get it right. Wingstop is here with your chance, so step up and make it count,” Dominik Mysterio said.
The official WWE Twitter account amplified the campaign, encouraging fans to participate in the vote hosted by Wingstop, underscoring the collaboration between Dominik and the brand for this event.
Future Plans and Significance of the Event
Looking ahead, WWE has already confirmed that SummerSlam 2026 will also be presented as a two-night event, scheduled for August 1-2 at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The continued expansion of SummerSlam highlights WWE’s commitment to creating larger and more immersive experiences for fans. Dominik Mysterio’s involvement and the interactive fan engagement feature with the vest vote exemplify WWE’s evolving approach to connecting with its audience.
This SummerSlam will be a pivotal moment for Dominik, not just as a title defense but as a symbol of his growing influence in the WWE Universe. Allowing fans to choose his attire adds a personal element to the event, deepening the connection between the Superstar and his supporters in anticipation of The Biggest Party of The Summer.
