WWE’s SummerSlam event is shaping up to be the company’s biggest event of the year. After the COVID-19 pandemic forced WrestleMania 37 to operate with a fraction of Raymond James Stadium’s capacity the company has sold more than 44,000 tickets for the Aug. 21 event at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium. But with COVID cases back on the rise in the United States due to the Delta Variant, there’s been a growing concern that WWE might need to scrap their plans. On Wednesday both the stadium and Ticketmaster released official statements declaring that, in accordance with the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, all SummerSlam attendees will be required to wear a face mask during event.
Source says SummerSlam happening at Allegiant Stadium is still the plan, with the event being just 2 weeks out. WWE has had conversations with the city and venue, and as of this very moment, all things remain on track.
