Despite the fact that WWE has spent each of the last four SummerSlam weekends it Brooklyn, there’s no word on where the promotion plans on taking its mid-summer showcase moving forward. There are rumors abound, but thanks to a slip up by Sasha Banks in a WWE-produced video, we might know where the festivities will take place.
Banks spoke to Cathy Kelley while on a ferry passing by the Statue of Liberty during an edition of WWE Now, and during their back-and-forth, the former Raw Women’s Champion was asked about her favorite matches at SummerSlam. At this point, Banks did a little too much reminiscing and might have let the cat out of the bag.
“Brooklyn has almost become, like, my second home because of the Barclays Center,” Banks said. “It’s kinda sad that this is our last year … not like last last year, but before we go to L.A. with SummerSlam. So it’s like meh.”
It would make a ton of sense for WWE to bring SummerSlam to Los Angeles, as Staples Center hosted it every year from 2009 until 2014, at which point it made its move to Brooklyn. An official announcement is surely somewhere around the corner, but for now, the best piece of evidence we have about SummerSlam 2019’s location comes via Sasha Banks on a boat in New York Harbor.
