Massive divide in WWE Universe's reaction to the official SummerSlam 2023 logo

WWE recently revealed the official logo for SummerSlam this year, and fans are divided in their response.

The company is headed to Detroit, Michigan for this year's edition of SummerSlam -- WWE's third of the annual Big Four premium live events. The show is scheduled to take place on August 5 at the Ford Field Stadium. It will also be the promotion's first premium live event at the venue since WrestleMania 23, which was held in April 2007.

The show's official logo was unveiled on social media, with the update featuring a new font and a 'fiery' design. The sign immediately drew a mixed response from fans online, exhibiting a massive divide in their perception.

Many hailed the new logo for showcasing nostalgia towards the early 2000s era and symbolizing old-school wrestling. However, others noted that the design lacked the usual flair that has been popularly associated with SummerSlam in recent years.

Few also noted how the SummerSlam logo reminded them of other famous signs, such as the Detroit Pistons, Hot Wheels, and even the movie franchise Fast and The Furious. Here's how fans reacted to the aforementioned logo on Twitter:

As of this writing, the company's website has listed top superstars like Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, Charlotte Flair, Bianca Belair, and The Usos to be featured on the show.
