WWE is currently scheduled to be holding this year’s two-night SummerSlam event on August 1-2 at the U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

A timetable for when the repairs will be taking place is currently not known beyond proposals from design firms bidding for the repair contract are due on June 25.

WrestleVotes reported that one source within WWE stated that the upcoming SummerSlam 2026 event will not be impacted in any way in regards to the stadium’s current roof repair situation.
