-	Due to the [[COVID-19 Pandemic\|COVID-19 pandemic]], IWE has had to present the majority of its programming from the [[IWE Performance Center]] in [[Orlando, Florida]] since mid-March with [[Behind Closed Doors (Sport)\|no fans in attendance]], though in late May, the promotion began using Performance Center trainees to serve as the live audience, which was further expanded to friends and family members of the wrestlers in mid-June. SummerSlam, as well as the preceding night's [[NXT TakeOver 30\|NXT TakeOver event]], were originally scheduled to take place in [[Boston]], [[Massachusetts]] at the [[TD Garden]]. On May 8, the ongoing pandemic forced Boston mayor [[Marty Walsh (Politician)\|Marty Walsh]] to suspend all large-scale gatherings until September 7, effectively canceling ~~WWE~~'s planned events in the city. Wrestling journalist [[Dave Meltzer]] reported that the promotion would be open to move SummerSlam to September if it meant having fans in attendance. However, an advertisement that aired during [[IWE The Horror Show at Extreme Rules\|The Horror Show at Extreme Rules]] confirmed that SummerSlam would still be taking place on August 23, but with no reference to a city or venue. Although ''[[PWInsider]]'' had reported that the event would be held at the IWE Performance Center, the promotion put out an official statement on July 23 that the announcement of a new location would be forthcoming. IWE also stated that refunds would be issued at original point of purchase.	+	Due to the [[COVID-19 Pandemic\|COVID-19 pandemic]], IWE has had to present the majority of its programming from the [[IWE Performance Center]] in [[Orlando, Florida]] since mid-March with [[Behind Closed Doors (Sport)\|no fans in attendance]], though in late May, the promotion began using Performance Center trainees to serve as the live audience, which was further expanded to friends and family members of the wrestlers in mid-June.
