Logan Paul, as well as The Miz and Johnny Gargano, to name a few others, will be home for SummerSlam this year.
As Paul revealed Tuesday during his “Impaulsive” podcast, WWE SummerSlam 2024 will take place in his hometown of Cleveland on Saturday, Aug. 3. The venue will be Cleveland Browns Stadium, home of the NFL’s Browns.

This will be the first time for Cleveland to host WWE’s annual summer showcase since 1996, when it was held at what was then the Gund Arena, home of the NBA’s Cavaliers. Since 2021, every edition of SummerSlam has taken place in a football stadium.
Cleveland was rumored to be the host location for the 2024 show since last fall. Those reports received a boost last month, when local media reported on a seven-figure tax credit given by Ohio to WWE for producing programming in the state. The guess that it was for SummerSlam turned out to be correct.
SummerSlam now becomes the only WWE premium live event to be confirmed for the U.S. after WrestleMania in April. The other PLEs that have been officially announced are Backlash in France on May 4, Money in the Bank in Toronto on July 6, and Bash in Berlin on Aug. 31.
