But from the recent reports Summer Slam status is seemingly in doubt. According to Cassidy Haynes of Bodyslam.net, WWE internally expects that they will have to return back to WWE Performance Center or go to another venue with ThunderDome setup. This belief was came after raise in Covid-19 cases in United States and that may lead to restrict the large public gatherings once again.
This report also states that WWE expects to be forced to end it’s return to the road soon. If the Covid-19 cases continues to raise in coming days it would be risky to proceed the touring, so, WWE might opt to go back to WWE ThunderDome setup.
