The 34th edition of SummerSlam is reportedly to take place from one of the newest and most state-of-the-art stadiums in the world. Allegiant Stadium cost $1.9 billion to build and opened last July. It is the home of the Las Vegas Raiders and the UNLV Rebels.

According to Andrew Zarian of the Mat Man Podcast, the stadium which sits at 3333 Al Davis Way in Las Vegas will be the home of SummerSlam this year. There is also expected to be a host for the show that has been described as “bizarre” and will fit the theme of the show.

Much like Raymond James Stadium, Allegiant Stadium has a pirate-like atmosphere due to being home to the Las Vegas Raiders, though this doesn’t necessarily mean Titus O’Neil and Hulk Hogan will be back dressed up in costume.

After speaking to a few people in Vegas who would know…
I can confirm that SummerSlam will take place at Allegiant Stadium.

As of this writing, SummerSlam is currently scheduled to take place on August 22nd, 2021. Manny Pacquiao is scheduled to face Errol Spence Jr. the night before on August 21st, 2021 somewhere in Las Vegas. That fight is rumored to either be taking place in Allegiant Stadium as well or the nearby MGM Grand. WWE‘s big event being so close to such a high-profile boxing bout could cause some scheduling issues and/or changes.

Zarian continued to Tweet on the situation. He teased that “SummerSlam won’t be on a day you think it will be on.”

SummerSlam won’t be on a day you think it will be on.

There is also belief at the moment that WWE has big plans for John Cena‘s return. Cena’s recent apology to China for referring to Taiwan as a country was reportedly an issue backstage in WWE with Vince McMahon having sent out an internal email in response. It is not clear what was written in that email, however.

There is the belief that WWE is planning a big main event for SummerSlam. Cena could be involved as WWE looks to pack Allegiant Stadium for the show.

You cant see what you can't believe… :)
