WWE Summerslam, which was scheduled for August 20th in Boston, MA, will seemingly have to be moved to a different location with Mayor Marty Walsh making the following announcements regarding large gatherings:
I can announce that parades and festivals will not take place this summer in the City of Boston,
up to and including Labor Day on September 7.— Mayor Marty Walsh (@marty_walsh) May 8, 2020
If your event brings crowds together in close contact–like a concert, a road race, or a flag raising– you should start looking at alternatives now.

At the moment there’s no information on where the WWE plans to hold the event. That being said, if we’d have to guess it’s going to be in Florida. Possibly in the WWE Performance Center without a crowd. This is just another blow to McMahon and Co. from the coronavirus. Once we learn more on the situation we’ll make sure to keep you updated.
