Your complete guide to mastering the WWE Summerslam event in Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone with dates, challenges, and pro strategies.
WWE Summerslam Event Overview & Dates
The highly anticipated crossover between Call of Duty and WWE culminates in the Modern Warfare 3 & Warzone WWE Summerslam event. This limited-time collaboration delivers exclusive wrestling-themed content directly tied to the WWE Pay-Per-View spectacle.
Following the announcement of Rey Mysterio, Rhea Ripley, and Cody Rhodes as Operator skins, this event offers additional premium cosmetics and items. It represents a focused, week-long celebration for players to immerse themselves in the world of sports entertainment.
Activision has officially locked in the schedule. The WWE Summerslam x MW3 & Warzone event commences on Wednesday, July 31, 2024, and concludes precisely one week later on Wednesday, August 7, 2024.
This gives the community a strict seven-day window to engage with all event activities and secure every available reward. Official communication confirms that challenges will be active across the entire suite of game modes.

How to Participate & Master the Event
Participation is straightforward: simply log into Modern Warfare 3 or Warzone during the event dates. A dedicated event tab will appear in the menu, outlining the available challenges across MW3 Multiplayer, MW3 Zombies (MWZ), and Warzone.
The developers have designed the event around “completing challenges across all game modes.” A key highlight is the Slam Deathmatch mode, a new playlist that encourages players to use Finishing Moves on downed opponents to secure kills, perfectly matching the wrestling theme.
Pro Strategy Tip: Tackle challenges strategically by mode. For example, the “Get 200 point blank kills with a shotgun” challenge in MWZ is significantly easier against AI zombies than the equivalent PvP challenge in Multiplayer. Prioritize Zombies for pure kill-count challenges to save time.
Common Pitfall to Avoid: Don’t ignore the mode-specific requirements. The challenge “Get three operator kills with any killstreak” only progresses in Warzone, not in MW3 Multiplayer. Always check the fine print before you start grinding to ensure you’re in the correct game mode.
Advanced players should pre-configure loadouts for specific challenge types (e.g., a hipfire LMG build, an Akimbo pistol setup) before the event starts to maximize efficiency from day one.
Complete Challenge List & Rewards Breakdown
The event features a total of seven standard rewards and one coveted Mastery reward. Each standard reward is tied to completing one set of three challenges (one for each game mode). The Mastery reward, typically a unique Operator skin, is granted for unlocking all seven standard rewards.
Below is the complete list of challenges. Complete one row (all three mode-specific tasks) to earn one of the seven rewards.
- MW3 Multiplayer: Get 10 point blank operator kills with a shotgun.
- MWZ: Get 200 point blank kills with a shotgun.
- Warzone: Interrogate three operators.

Optimization Tip: Group similar challenges. For instance, work on shotgun, LMG, and melee challenges concurrently in MWZ where the enemy density is high and the environment is more predictable than PvP, allowing for rapid completion of multiple kill-count objectives.
