Wrestlemania is the biggest PPV event of the year in the WWE programming. But there are several other events big-time events in WWE calendar as well. Some of them are Money in the Bank, Survivor Series, the Royal Rumble and SummerSlam.
The events have become more significant than ever since this year’s ‘Mania. All the future PPV shows are going to be dual-brand events.
WWE had given us updates about the full schedule of the PPV shows that will get hosted throughout the rest of 2018. We have learned about all the venues and organising dates. Meanwhile, the company had also confirmed the venue of Wrestlemania 35 in the year 2019 in recent times.
The venue for Summerslam 2019 revealed
The rumours are on about the potential location of Summerslam PPV at this time. It is the second biggest event of the year. WWE lets us know about the details of the big-four PPV events much earlier so that the travel packages can be out.
The reliable source, Wrestlevotes gave some updates on the venue, recently which indicated it is going to get shifted from the usual venue. WWE generally keeps a place fixed for the Summerslam event. The Staples Center in Los Angeles, California was the home of it at the beginning of this decade. The Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York became the new host of it starting from 2015. It is likely that 2019 might witness another change.
According to the update from the source, Summerslam 2019 would get hosted from an MLB Stadium (Major Baseball League) in the USA. Usually, WWE did not intend to host special PPV shows in these stadiums since they do not produce sufficient outcome for a wrestling event. But, the tradition is getting changed, nowadays. As a result, we have seen Wrestlemania 35 was confirmed to take place at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ on April 7.
Here are the statements, given by WrestleVotes,
“Following up w/ a report from a few months back, the source states it’s a near certainty SummerSlam is moving from Barclays in Brooklyn after this year. WWE would love to host at a stadium, although the middle of summer is tough. Keep an eye out for “vacation” cities.”
It is likely that Summerslam will take place around the same area in New York, New Jersey, next year. Hosting this in an MLB stadium will allow the WWE to garner some more mainstream attention. Plus, more people can enjoy the show in comparison to an indoor venue. We are likely to learn a confirmed update on the same shortly.
