WWE SummerSlam 2024 could be headed to Cleveland, Ohio.  

Fightful is reporting the city is in the running to land the event, citing sources within the city of Cleveland, as well as the Cleveland Browns. One WWE source is said to have referred to Cleveland as the “likely” host city.

It’s not clear what venue would host the event, though Cleveland Browns Stadium seems possible. WWE typically runs Rocket Morgage Fieldhouse when in the city. They were last there for the June 19 WWE Raw and are scheduled to be back on December 11. The last WWE premium live event to take place in Cleveland was Fastlane 2019, which was also held in Rocket Mortage Fieldhouse. 

WWE has been looking to increase site fees paid by governments to bring PLEs to their cities. It was revealed recently The St. Petersburg/Clearwater, Florida tourism board spent $500,000 to bring the 2024 Royal Rumble to Tropicana Field. The company received nearly $3 million from the Welsh Government for Clash at the Castle last year and $1.8 million from the Puerto Rico government for Backlash in May.
