Many fans will need to fly for the upcoming WWE events as the WWE SummerSlam and Money in the Bank was reported to take place outside Florida.

The news came as the WWE Wrestlemania 2021 Backlash concluded with Bianca Belair, Bobby Lashley, and Roman Reigns retaining their respective championship titles.

The WWE was reported to hit the roads beginning in July. Sports Illustrated noted that WWE's June event named Hell in a Cell would mark the company's pay-per-view event that will be held in the ThunderDome.

Money in the Bank and WWE SummerSlam Event Venue

Sports Illustrated confirmed that the WWE SummerSlam would take place in the state of Nevada. Wrestling Inc. reported that there is no confirmation where specifically in Nevada would the SummerSlam will take place. However, the company usually runs its shows in MGM garden Arena and T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

It was earlier reported that the WWE wanted to hold the SummerSlam in an outdoor stadium setting. If that is true, then the company might hold the event in Allegiant Stadium with its special roof and doors, although it does not have a retractable roof.

Meanwhile, Money in the Bank was reported to be held in Texas. However, details regarding the exact city where the event will happen have yet to be revealed. Wrestling Inc. noted that the Money in the Bank would happen with fans in attendance in the venue.

Ringside News noted that live fans were not able to return to the venues since Wrestlemania 37 was held in Raymond James Field in Tampa, Florida. However, fans are expected to be in the venue on July 16 during the smackdown before Money in the Bank.

WWE SummerSlam was earlier reported to happen on August 22, while the Money in the Bank was reportedly set on July 18. The company did not yet confirm both dates as of the moment.

Apart from the WWE Summer Slam event venue and Money in the Bank location, Wrestling Inc. noted that other locations of the company's pay-per-view events, such as Clash of Champions, Extreme Rules, and Survivor Series, has yet to be announced by the company.

Why Was the WWE Hell in a Cell Scheduled Earlier?

Usually, Hell in a Cell takes place in the month of October, but the WWE moved the event in June for a good reason.

WWE thinks that Hell in a Cell will be a bigger hit when held in the ThunderDome, while the Money in the Bank in Texas will be more captivating with the fans in attendance. Wrestling Inc. noted that the Hell in a Cell event of WWE is expected to happen on June 20.

WWE Chief Financial Officer Kristina Salen noted that the company has no plans of going back to a ThunderDome residency once they return to touring, including the Money in the Bank to be held in Texas and WWE SummerSlam in Nevada. Sports Illustrated noted that weekly travel would start for Raw and Smackdown later this year.
