Pro-Wrestling Returns to South Dakota

Pro-wrestlers Roman Reigns, Ryback, the Big Show, and Bray Wyatt are coming to Sioux Falls, SD this Saturday as the World Wrestling Entertainment 'SummerSlam Heatwave Tour' continues its way through the nation.

WWE is currently building up to its biggest pay-per-view event of the summer, SummerSlam, which takes place in front of a sold out crowd on August 23 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Sioux Falls resident Ryan Wentzel is a lifelong pro-wrestling fan, who is attending the show in Sioux Falls on Saturday. Throughout his life, he has seen many pro-wrestling shows. They’ve ranged from a simple live show in Brookings to WWE’s biggest show of the year - WrestleMania. Wentzel says it’s always special to see a pro-wrestling event in person.

“It’s being around all of the same like-minded people,” said Wentzel. “You might have a different opinion on a wrestler, but we can all agree – we’re there for the entertainment.”

Saturday's WWE Live show in Sioux Falls begins at 7:30 pm at the Denny Sanford PREMIER Center. For more information and for an in-depth look at what exactly it means to be a pro-wrestling fan, click here.
