Minneapolis is set to host WWE SummerSlam over two nights in 2026 at U.S. Bank Stadium.

WWE, in partnership with Minnesota Sports and Events, announced SummerSlam will take place on August 1 and 2, 2026, marking the first premium live event in Minneapolis since “TLC: Tables, Ladders, and Chairs” in 2019, as well as the first time WWE will host a stadium event in the city.

Leading up to SummerSlam, WWE and MNSE will host various fan and community events. WWE EVP of Talent Relations and Head of Communications Chris Legentil said the company is “excited to bring two nights of SummerSlam” to the Twin Cities.

“U.S. Bank Stadium is an absolutely world-class venue, situation in a city with rich wrestling history and an amazing fan base,” Legentil said.

Wendy Blackshaw, President and CEO of MSE, echoed similar sentiments, noting that the authority is “thrilled to welcome the WWE Universe to Minnesota for SummerSlam.”

“We will make this summertime wrestling extravaganza accessible for fans of all ages,” Blackshaw said. “Through a variety of festivities and ancillary events in the Twin Cities and affordable tickets to the main events at U.S. Bank Stadium, this will be a SummerSlam for all.”

This year’s SummerSlam, set to take place on Saturday, August 3 in Cleveland, already revealed record-breaking ticket sales. The 2024 event follows 2023’s SummerSlam at Detroit’s Ford Field, which set a gate record for any non-WrestleMania event with $8.5 million.

WWE’s live event schedule is stacked this summer; on June 15, the entertainment company will host its first-ever event in Scotland for “Clash at the Castle” at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro, following the previous record-setting “Clash at the Castle” in Cardiff back in 2022. Additionally, Toronto will host WWE Money in the Bank on July 6.

ICE agents clash with dozens of residents in streets of South Minneapolis

A tense situation developed in South Minneapolis Monday afternoon, where dozens of residents confronted ICE agents operating in the streets near Lake Street and Pillsbury Avenue, not far from the Karmel Mall.

WCCO reporter Esme Murphy was also on the scene and reported that chemical irritant had been deployed. Murphy and a WCCO photographer were among those who were hit with the irritant.

Murphy reported seeing at least three people in handcuffs, but it was not immediately clear for what reason they were being detained. The scene seemed to have cleared by 2:30 p.m.

Hennepin County Sheriff’s deputies were observed at the scene. Local law enforcement have been deployed to control crowds since the Department of Homeland Security launched Operation Metro Surge in recent weeks. One of the recent ICE operations in the metro area was a raid at a construction site in Chanhassen over the weekend.

The Karmel Mall is the nation’s first Somali shopping center. The enhanced ICE actions came just after President Trump said, “I don’t want [Somalis] in our country” and claimed Somalis are “completely taking over the once great State of Minnesota.”

Few other details were immediately available, but WCCO crews on the scene noted that many of those protesting against ICE were using whistles, which in many prior confrontations have been used to try to warn neighbors that ICE agents were in the vicinity.

This story is developing and will be updated.

Minneapolis Rabbi responds to terrorist attack in Australia

MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – A day that was meant to be celebrated with Hanukkah beginning at sundown, turned into heartache for the Jewish community far and wide.

Temple Israel rabbi responds to Australia attack

What they’re saying:

Rabbi Marcia Zimmerman, from Temple Israel in south Minneapolis joined us on the FOX 9 Morning News shortly after learning of the tragedy unfolding overseas.

“Unfortunately, this is becoming all too familiar, and all too common,” Rabbi Zimmerman. “Jewish pride is the biggest antidote, that we continue to light the candles, that’s what Hanukkah is all about, the pride of who we are, even as a minority.”

Temple Israel was the target of a hate crime back in October, when it was vandalized with anti-Semitic graffiti.

“Security is always a part of our reality, both seen and unseen,” Rabbi Zimmerman said. “The other part of the strength of what we do is we have a lot of interfaith dialogue here at Temple Israel, so for me, that’s another security measure in a much more profound way.”
