WWE News: Possible SummerSlam 2016 Locations, Kayfabe Added to Oxford Dictionary

August 27, 2015 | Posted by Jeremy Thomas

The Wrestling Observer reports that with SummerSlam being considered a huge success, WWE is thinking of holding the show in Las Vegas or Los Angeles next year. The company is looking at possibly doing the week-long event schedule like they did this year in order to give it a “major event” feel like WrestleMania has.

– The Oxford Dictionary has added “kayfabe” to its lexicon. The official definition reads as follows:

kayfabe
Syllabification: kay·fabe
Pronunciation: /’ka?fab/
noun
1. (In professional wrestling) the fact or convention of presenting staged performances as genuine or authentic:
“a masterful job of blending kayfabe and reality”
“he’s not someone who can break kayfabe and talk about the business”
[as modifier]: “I heard that AJ approached him to rehearse a kayfabe segment”
