WWE SummerSlam will show off what Cleveland is all about

Driving the news: Tickets went on sale this week, ranging from $90 to over $8,000 for seats closest to the ring.

The intrigue: This year's event is likely to feature Northeast Ohio natives and current WWE superstars Johnny Gargano, Logan Paul and Mike "The Miz" Mizanin.

• "Everyone is excited," Mizanin tells Axios.
• "Talking to Logan, talking to Johnny, when you're from Cleveland, you're proud to be from here. I got my work ethic from Cleveland."

Flashback: Mizanin grew up in Parma, attended Normandy High School and spent summers working at Abercrombie & Fitch in SouthPark Mall.

• He rose to fame as a cast member on MTV's "The Real World" in 2001 before joining WWE in the mid-2000s.

By the numbers: Mizanin has won more than 20 WWE titles during his career and is currently half of the World Tag Team Champions with superstar R-Truth.

Yes, but: He says performing at Cleveland Browns Stadium will top anything he's accomplished in wrestling, including headlining WrestleMania XXVII in 2011.

• "You always want to be in your own backyard," Mizanin says.

• "This is the place where I grew up and still call home. Cleveland is always in my heart and on my mind."

What he's watching: After SummerSlam, Mizanin has his sights set on something even bigger.

• "I'm all for the Browns building a dome in Brook Park because then we'll have a shot at getting WrestleMania in Cleveland one day."

The bottom line: "Being in an outdoor stadium in a city like Cleveland is going to be second to none," Mizanin says.

• "Cleveland has such an immense fanbase. People are going to travel to our city and see what we're all about."
