As Las Vegas continues to navigate the COVID pandemic and recovers from a year-long shutdown, there was no better time for WWE to roll into town and put on their annual spectacular, SummerSlam.
The electrifying event, which took place at Allegiant Stadium, delivered some pretty memorable moments, including Roman Reigns' defeat of John Cena ... along with the glorious return of Brock Lesnar.
When the superstars of the WWE weren't battling it out in the ring, they were letting off some steam in Sin City and many of the top stars headed straight for the Circa Resort and Casino.
WWE royalty and their chief brand officer, Stephanie McMahon, and her mother, Linda McMahon, were able to catch up with each other during their dinner at Barry’s Downtown Prime. This was their first time dining at the popular steakhouse and celebrity chef/co-owner, Barry Dakake, gave them a special experience.
The Blast is told Stephanie and Linda didn’t even order off the menu, because they were treated to Chef Barry bringing a variety of dishes for them to try. After finishing their delicious dinner, Stephanie and her mother joined Chef Barry in the kitchen where they received a tour and were fed a multitude of desserts.
Many WWE superstars were seen throughout the weekend, including the legendary wrestler Bill Goldberg, who also dined at Barry’s Downtown Prime in a private room surrounded by his friends and family. Bill and MMA icon Frank Mir decided to bring Chef Barry up to their level while getting a tour of the kitchen. WWE star Mojo Rawley, recently seen acting in “Snake Eyes”, photobombed Frank and Bill as they were caught on camera sneaking desserts in the restaurant’s kitchen.
WWE champion, Bobby Lashley, who fought Goldberg during the main event at SummerSlam 2021; was also seen dining at Barry’s steakhouse with his family. He celebrated his win at SummerSlam by devouring a huge slice of carrot cake after dinner.
WWE sweetheart Dana Brooke and her fiancé, professional boxer Uly “Monster” Diaz, also spent their evening having a delicious dinner at Barry’s Downtown Prime. Other beautiful WWE wrestlers, Sonya Deville and Liv Morgan were able to catch up with their friend and WWE beauty, Mandy Rose at the glamorous steakhouse.
The common denominator between all these WWE sensations is Circa Resort and Casino executive, Richard Wilk, who can balance everyone’s needs, whether they’re staying at Circa for a night of relaxation or having an incredible dining experience and meal at Barry’s Downtown Prime.
