WWE Summerslam 2024 appears to be the latest premium live event around which a few details have come around via a reliable source. WWE has been announcing shows for the post-Wrestlemania 40 season for the time being with Bash in Berlin scheduled for late August. But before that, the biggest party of the summer would emanate inside the United States territory.
Fightful Select is reporting that Cleveland, Ohio is being considered as a front-runner to be the home of the WWE SummerSlam 2024 edition. A big outdoor stadium is being nurtured for the actual host venue though it’s not clear whether the big Cleveland Browns Stadium or Progressive Field, home of the Cleveland Guardians will finally be chosen. The report mentioned representatives from the Browns which essentially pointed out the former stadium as the venue.

Given that WWE Summerslam 2024 is going to be the second biggest premium live event for next year after Wrestlemania 40, it’s safe to assume that it will emanate from an outdoor stadium following the tradition of the past several years. WWE has mostly chosen NFL stadiums for this particular show.
This year’s Summerslam took place in Detroit while last year’s edition took place in Nashville. Back in 2021, the stadium tradition actually began after the pandemic as WWE took the event to the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. According to the source, WWE Summerslam 2024 is eyeing another big stadium, or rather a city having two big stadiums to choose from as the host.
No update was provided regarding the date of WWE Summerslam 2024, as of this writing. WWE recently confirmed Bash in Berlin PLE will go down from the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Berlin, Germany on Saturday, August 31, 2024, which essentially confirms that Summerslam will be preponed to either early summer or in late July just like the past couple of years.
