Cleveland Browns Stadium in Cleveland, Ohio will host this year’s SummerSlam premium live event on August 3, as confirmed by WWE. This is the NFL team’s home. However, another team attempted to bring it to their city.
WWE announced the date and location on March 12th, with WWE United States Champion and Cleveland native Logan Paul informing listeners via his podcast. There have been no matches announced for the event.
According to Hamilton County Administrator Jeff Alutto, the NFL’s Cincinnati Bengals requested that the event be held at Paycor Stadium, the team’s home. However, WWE never called them back.
Hamilton County Administrator Jeff Alutto said the Bengals made an effort for Paycor Stadium to host WWE SummerSlam, which ended up going to Cleveland instead.
Alutto: "They did reach out several times. They said they didn’t call back."
