While no venue has been formally announced, there has been speculation by various sources as to where the location might be. The Wrestling Observer are reporting that Summerslam will take place at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. If this is true, WWE will be hosting their event on the same day and city as the boxing match between Manny Pacquiao and Errol Spence Jr.
The currently announced WWE pay per views and dates are as follows:
- Hell in A Cell – Sunday June 20th
- Money in the Bank – Sunday July 18th
- Summerslam – Saturday August 21st
With WWE and fans seeing Summerslam as a marquee event, expect big matches to be announced for the show. 2017 was headlined by a fatal 4 way for the Universal Championship. Brock Lesnar defended against Braun Strowman, Samoa Joe and Roman Reigns. The full match can be seen below:
