Multiple women got into a legitimate heated brawl in the front row of the bleachers early into the second night of WWE’s SummerSlam mega show at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
The event which kicked off at 6 p.m. local time still had plenty of daylight shining into the crowd, meaning the fight took place in the first couple of matches of the show.
How the fight started is unclear, with the video starting with at least seven people involved in the chaos, most of them being women.
As the camera focuses on the brawl, a woman in black quickly gets her hair grabbed by another woman in a red skirt.
A woman in a white tank top also is involved, seemingly on the side of her friend in the red skirt, as she has a hold of the woman in black’s arm.
The only woman to throw a punch during the recorded portion of the fight is the woman in a black shirt, who connects with a few strikes to the abdomen of the women in the red skirt.

Several members of stadium security in orange arrive to break up the fight, with all parties seemingly escorted from MetLife Stadium after the video ends.
WWE’s ticket prices for one of its signature events of the year were high, with some costing over $300 per seat, especially in the lower bowl.
Getting into a fight with multiple matches still to go is one way to not get a proper return on an investment.
WWE’s biggest show of the year not named WrestleMania is SummerSlam, held over the course of two nights for the first time in 2025. WrestleMania made the permanent switch to a two-night spectacular back in 2020.
The show was headlined by Cody Rhodes defeating John Cena for the WWE Championship, avenging his loss to the ‘Peacemaker’ star at WrestleMania 41 in April.
After the bout, Brock Lesnar made his controversial return to the company after two years due to his alleged involvement in the Vince McMahon lawsuit.
Lesnar last appeared for the company at SummerSlam in 2023 and was written off television despite being one of the company’s biggest stars at the time allegedly due to his ties to the McMahon litigation.
Lesnar is not a defendant in the lawsuit, despite being named on multiple occasions in a court filing, and has not commented on the incident publicly since being named in it back in February.

Daily Mail has requested comment from WWE on Lesnar’s status with the company in regards to his return amid the McMahon lawsuit without an immediate response.
After the conclusion of the main event between Cena and Cody Rhoes, the ‘Peacemaker’ star was saluting the New Jersey crowd after losing his championship to ‘The American Nightmare’.
As Cena was beginning to step out of the ring, Lesnar’s familiar theme music hit and sent WWE’s fans in attendance into bedlam.
Former WWE employee Janel Grant amended the complaint in her ongoing lawsuit in February against McMahon, who she accuses of sex trafficking her.
The amended complaint includes new disturbing allegations against McMahon and other members of the wrestling company, naming Lesnar as the wrestler he had allegedly enticed into staying under contract by using her as a ‘sexual pawn.’
In 2021, McMahon was embroiled in continued discussions with Lesnar over a return to WWE when he offered her to the wrestler and told her to create personalized sexual content for a WWE superstar, the complaint alleges.
