WWE’s SummerSlam pay-per-view is often viewed as the second biggest show of the year for the promotion. And based on a few recent reports that have dropped, it will live up to that title. Both Andrew Zarian of The Mat Men Podcast and @WrestleVotes reported on Thursday that the show will take place on Saturday, August 21. Zarian also reported that it would be held at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada and that a massive star would be the special guest.

According to a very reliable source SummerSlam will take place on Saturday 8/21 in Vegas.

The rumors of SummerSlam from Las Vegas taking place outside of a Sunday are correct according to a source. Hearing that internally the show is listed for Saturday night 8/21. Credit to @AndrewZarian for the initial date tweet.
Update: 8/21 is currently “provisional” according to a source. Pacquiao fight wasn’t official until 5/21, no updates since on document being circulated. 8/22 & Sat 8/7 shown as “holds”. WWE’s preference is SAT. However being honest, I’m not entirely sure where it stand as of now.
