Powell’s POV: The buzz is that SummerSlam will be held in Las Vegas, Nevada at Allegiant Stadium. WWE is expected to make it official during the Belmont Stakes pre-show. Either way, I like the move to Saturday for this year’s event.
When will the tickets for WWE tour go on sale for their tour to Pittsburgh Pa? And how much are the tickets?
Friday, June 11. Not sure on the prices, but the arena website should have them soon.
Yeah I like the move to Saturday people forget that Summerslam was on mondays 88 to 94
