Apart from the confirmation of the venue for SummerSlam 2021, Comicbook reported that the annual event will be one of the first sporting events that will be held in full capacity since the coronavirus pandemic has started.

"Coming out of the pandemic, it was important to us to have a big event like SummerSlam in Las Vegas," said WWE President and Chief Revenue Officer, Nick Khan, who was also reported to be a Las Vegas native. Khan added that they expect to "boost in-foot traffic for the casinos and local businesses" in Vegas and provide a "great night of sports and entertainment" to the people of Las Vegas.

The official announcement of WWE about the venue of the annual event comes as wrestler Asuka posted a photo of Allegiant Stadium with a shocked emoji. The tweet placed the wrestler under the spotlight for allegedly leaking the venue of WWE's annual event.

However, Asuka defended herself in a separate tweet arguing that "There is no other meaning" behind the photo of the stadium she posted aside from having a raiders cap. The wrestler also added that her friend has an "annual seat in the stadium."
