Rumours of Cleveland hosting SummerSlam 2024 intensify, with WrestleVotes claiming WWE is close to finalizing a deal with Cleveland Browns Stadium for the event. This aligns with earlier hints by Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp and the state of Ohio offering a tax credit for a potential WWE show. As speculation swirls, fans await official confirmation and potential date adjustments considering WWE’s already packed summer schedule. They are also struggling to continue the tradition of hosting the event in August due to a new PLE show.

Cleveland supposedly in contention to host SummerSlam 2024

WrestleVotes took to X on March 1st to tweet an update on SummerSlam. The tweet read, “SummerSlam 2024 has been rumored for Cleveland, as @SeanRossSapp hinted months ago. I’m told that through sources, WWE is close to finalizing a deal with Cleveland Browns Stadium to host the event on Saturday, Aug 3. Formal announcement should come in April.”

It was reported by Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select last year that the state of Ohio is planning a show with WWE after the state provided a tax credit of $1.676 million to WWE. WWE has not announced any major show in Ohio, hence the speculations started.

As per Sean Ross Sapp WWE is looking forward to booking Cleveland Brown Stadium of Cleveland Brown (NFL). The stadium has a capacity of over 67,000. SummerSlam is WWE’s biggest event after WrestleMania and is Summer’s biggest wrestling event. Hence, it makes sense for WWE to book a large stadium as last year’s event had an attendance of 59,000. However, the date of the event has not been finalized yet.

This year, WWE may have a similar problem with the date as they have already finalized Bash-Berlin on August 31st while Money in the Bank will be on July 6th. Hence, fans can expect SummerSlam around late September.
