WWE Summer Slam 2022 is reportedly going to take place at United Kingdom for the first time in 30 years.
Alexa McCarthy of the talkSPORT reported that the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales is “in the front running” to host the next year’s WWE Summer Slam 2022. This is # huge news for the WWE fans of the UK, who have been asking for a big pay-per-view to return there for decades now.
Been working on this one for a couple of weeks…
The Principality Stadium in Cardiff is the front-runner for SummerSlam in the UK next year. Meetings took place during the tour last week and great progress was made on a WWE UK PPV.

The Principality Stadium in Cardiff had the capacity of almost 75,000 people and has a retractable roof in case the area has bad weather on the day of the show, which is reportedly very attractive to WWE right now.
Last week, WWE had a short tour in the United Kingdom, Drew McIntyre had a huge win against Jinder Mahal in London Street Fight. Following the match, McIntyre cut a passionate promo to the crowd and proclaimed that he was going to do everything in his power to get the United Kingdom a significant pay-per-view. If Summer Slam 2022 takes place in Cardiff, it appears McIntyre got his wish.
