Flo Rida and Jason Derulo will be tag teaming the Barclays Center this August in the first-ever WWE Summslam concert.

The concert will take place at 7pm on August 18 in the Barlcays Center, and it’s part of WWE’s Summerslam festivities. Summerslam is the second biggest pro wrestling event of the year after Wrestlemania and this year’s edition will also emanate from Barclays on August 21.

“The first-ever WWE SummerSlam Concert will offer fans another opportunity to participate in SummerSlam Week while raising much-needed awareness and funds to support pediatric cancer research,” said WWE Chief Brand Officer Stephanie McMahon.

Proceeds from the event will go to Connor’s Cure, a charity funding pediatric cancer research that was founded by Stephanie McMahon and her husband, semi-retired pro wrestler and current WWE Executive Vice President of Talent, Live Events and Creative, Paul “Triple H” Levesque.

“I’m definitely honored to be a part of this spectacular event with my WWE family,” said Flo Rida.

While Summerslam is a far grander stage than most, 2016 will remain a big year for pro graps in Brooklyn. Colt Cabana wrestled during Passover. Major independent promotion Ring of Honor wrestling will host Field of Honor at MCU Park on August 27.

This year’s Summerslam will mark the first pay-per-view booked following the brand extension draft and is currently headlined by Brock Lesnar vs Randy Orton. However, with Stephanie McMahon’s Raw tonight and her brother Shane McMahon’s Smackdown Live tomorrow night, we expect prominent roles for John Cena, WWE Champion Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, AJ Styles, and Roman Reigns.
