Could WWE SummerSlam be heading to a different major U.S. city next summer?

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (h/t Wrestle Zone), SummerSlam will likely be receiving a new location next year. Early indications are that SummerSlam could be moving to Las Vegas or Los Angeles.

Regarding SummerSlam possibly moving to Las Vegas, it was rumored that the new MGM Arena would be hosting the event. The venue is hosting UFC 200 on July 2, 2016, so SummerSlam could occur a few weeks later.

As for Los Angeles, WWE held SummerSlam there from 2009-2014 in the Staples Center before moving it to the Barclays Center this year.

SummerSlam moving around from city to city makes sense, especially given the magnitude of these markets. It will continue to make the summer event a big one.

It also wouldn’t be surprising if WWE explored outdoor venues for SummerSlam down the line. They could look at a 25,000-30,000 seat stadium for the event. Many soccer stadiums around the country hold around this capacity, so there could be a fit.

As for this year’s SummerSlam, it is taking place this Sunday, August 23 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY. We will have complete live coverage from the event including photos and videos posted on our Twitter account, which you can follow below.
