Usually, WWE reserve the term ‘Grandaddy of ’em All’ for WrestleMania, but with the Coronavirus pandemic turning everything on it’s head and delaying the ability to host shows with sold out live crowds until recently, SummerSlam is now taking pride of place as Vince McMahon’s marquee event for 2021.
The Hottest Event of The Summer is not only going to be hosted at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas in front of 72,000 fans, it’s also going to see the long awaited in-ring return of John Cena and a first time ever bout between WWE Champion Bobby Lashley and Goldberg.
