WWE officially confirmed on Saturday that the 2021 SummerSlam event will take place on August 21 at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. The venue and city had been reported weeks prior, but WWE quickly ran into a scheduling conflict as Manny Pacquiao’s next boxing match against Errol Spence Jr. is scheduled to take place on the same day at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. In order to prevent fans from having to choose one show over the other, PWInsider is reporting that WWE plans on ending SummerSlam in time for fans to travel across the city for Pacquiao vs. Spence. The main event reportedly won’t start until around midnight local time.
