Update On Summerslam Location, Details, Backstage Chatter
Added 2021-05-11 17:16:12 +0000 UTCAs of this moment, even within the company there isn't a confirmed Summerslam location that talent and staff know about. It's a poorly kept secret that WWE wants fans at the show, but that's been well known within the company for quite a while as they wouldn't be looking at outside venues otherwise.
WrestleVotes had noted that they'd heard a sooner date than usual was being discussed, and we can confirm that August 1 is the date being referred to, but should make it clear that nothing on that front is confirmed yet. There's also a PPV date scheduled within the company's talent relations app for July 18, though no name is applied to it.
There have been several cities and locations discussed, but internally Las Vegas seems to be gaining a lot of steam. We'd also heard Phoenix, and a nondescript "Texas" thrown around. We'd not heard of any internal discussions of New York City as of this past weekend, though Dave Meltzer has heard that MSG is in consideration
We're told that Vince McMahon specifically wanted to shake up the pay per view schedule back around WrestleMania, but it seems like most of the schedule is getting back to normal.

The only bummer for outdoor and az is in that time of year the average temp is 100s

2021-05-11 18:35:58 +0000 UTCYea I donโt see NYC having full capacity venues till Fall. Cuomo announced the other day that there will be 100% capacity when broadway shows open back up in September.
