With today’s announcement of the return to Toronto, Ontario, Canada – Canada’s largest city with a population of 2.8 million people – of the WWE for next year’s SummerSlam<\/strong> <\/em>weekend, it brought a huge sigh of relief to Ontario wrestling fans. Although Toronto received Survivor Series<\/strong><\/em> back in 2016, it had been a decade since Toronto’s last Pay Per View from the WWE, 2006’s Unforgiven<\/strong><\/em> PPV. Their last “Big Four” PPV prior to Survivor Series<\/em> was SummerSlam<\/em> in 2004. Many were starting to wonder if Toronto, which the WWE has routinely touted as a A-list wrestling city, had fallen into disfavor with the WWE after being one of the routine destinations for big shows. But the announcement that Toronto was returning to the Big Four rotation, now acquiring SummerSlam<\/em> only three years after Survivor Series<\/em>, was music to Canadian wrestling fans in Ontario. Especially considering the WWE’s long standing history with the capital city of Ontario.<\/p>\n
