Wingstop and WWE partner for Summerslam sponsorship

Chicken wings and live sports entertainment has alway been the perfect pairing. Thursday the WWE and Wingstop agreed with that theory as Winsgtop has become the official sponsor for WWE’s Summerslam. Wingstop’s logo will be added to the ringpost partnered  with Logan Paul’s PRIME Hydration logo displayed in the center of the ring mat.

This partnership can have huge implications. Rick Ross for example if he ever wanted to capitalize on his franchise ownership and get himself into wrestling, this might be the perfect opportunity.  Ross has been previously featured in AEW storylines and has even walked boxers down to the ring. So now with Wingstop’s WWE partnership the sky's the limit. 

Also, WWE Superstars Drew McIntyre and Bayley will host a meet and greet at a local Wingstop restaurant in Cleveland at 439 W. Bagley Road in Berea, OH on August 2, from noon to 2 p.m. ET in advance of SummerSlam 2024. They will sign autographs, take pictures with fans and indulge in cooked-to-order, craveable wings and chicken sandwiches, from the most iconic flavors like Lemon Pepper, Mango Habanero and OG Hot, to the newest menu add – Hot Honey Rub. Here is WWE’s official statement.
