While WrestleMania is traditionally WWE’s biggest event of the year, SummerSlam hopes to give it a run for its money Saturday night.
Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas will host SummerSlam, marking the first time that the pay-per-view has ever taken place at an NFL stadium. The only other SummerSlam stadium show took place nearly 30 years ago, at London’s Wembley stadium in 1992.
Unlike this year’s WrestleMania, a full-capacity crowd will be on hand for SummerSlam. A mask mandate is in place for all 40,000-plus attendees due to the recent rise in COVID-19 cases in Las Vegas.
