The company confirmed on Saturday that SummerSlam would take place inside Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, home of the Las Vegas Raiders NFL franchise. Rumors of major stars like John Cena and Brock Lesnar returning for the event have started popping up throughout the last week.

"Coming out of the pandemic, it was important to us to have a big event like SummerSlam in Las Vegas. We expect to deliver a great night of sports-entertainment for the people of the city and a boost in foot traffic for the casinos and local businesses," WWE president Nick Khan said in the announcement.
