SummerSlam Undergoes Huge Change
There have been lots of changes to WWE’s live event schedule. WrestleMania was the first (and biggest) event to be pre-taped and without fans.
This weekend, we have our second impacted WWE PPV. It may not be our last.
Even if WWE was willing and able to get things back to stadiums and arenas, they still have to comply with local guidelines. Per an announcement from the Mayor of Boston, SummerSlam may be on life support as initially planned.
We are planning a healthy re-opening and an equitable recovery process—as soon as the health data tells us it is safe. But we do not envision a point this summer when it will make sense to have large crowds gathered in close contact for prolonged periods.
