As reported earlier, WWE was hoping that the audience would return to the arena by the time SummerSlam rolled out. However, instead of the COVID-19 situation settling down, the cases are on the rise with even multiple WWE personnel being infected by the virus.

As per WrestleVotes, WWE could have to resort to holding SummerSlam in an empty arena at PC just like they did with WrestleMania this year.

WWE had been planning some big angles to take place at SummerSlam including th return of Brock Lesnar and Bayley vs Sasha Banks. However, what the company truly wanted was a live audience for these big moments. But with no crowd predicted for the biggest party of the summer, it is possible that WWE delays these plans as well.
