Latest on WrestleMania 41
Added 2024-05-02 21:47:29 +0000 UTCMinnesota is no longer expected to be the site of WWE WrestleMania by most within WWE.
For months, Minneapolis was the front runner, and the city has been "aching to announce" that they'd be getting WrestleMania. However, in recent months, there was heavy internal push for the show to take place in Las Vegas, especially after a successful WrestleMania XL kickoff event, and the success of the Super Bowl locally.
Fighful has asked WWE for any updates about WrestleMania, and have only been told that they have nothing to announce yet. People of influence within the company tell us they've heard Las Vegas is the likely destination now.
Early indications are that sometime in April 2025 will be the landing spot for WrestleMania, though May dates were on the table and discussed. Specifically, it was noted that higher ups weren't keen on a cold weather WrestleMania again next year, even if the event was indoors.
We have to reiterate, until it is announced, it is not official, especially as it pertains to this story. We'll also work to find out more behind WWE in Minneapolis and their reaction to it. Minneapolis had certainly floated information to indicate that they expected it.

I would personally love it to see it in Atlanta. Not for any other reason other than to make up for WM 27

2024-05-03 00:45:16 +0000 UTCProbably should tell that to the people who went to Night 1 of WrestleMania who sat in 50 degree weather that felt like 40 degrees

2024-05-02 23:02:20 +0000 UTCSo-Fi was a great venue. They should go back soon. Philadelphia the city was more enjoyable but the stadium and weather were way worse. New Orleans is another great city for WrestleMania. I would be excited to check out Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas and see how it compares to So-Fi stadium.

2024-05-02 22:52:35 +0000 UTCMan Minnesota got snubbed. Think it's kinda ridiculous to move away from a cold weather place if there's an indoor stadium available. Nick Khan also really loves those Vegas things as well. I'm not sure it totally fits for pro wrestling however. More of a boxing/MMA thing.

2024-05-02 22:31:24 +0000 UTCMinneapolis mayor needs to shut his mouth because this is twice now they’ve thought they had it and it got changed 😂 keep it quiet until it’s announced

2024-05-02 21:57:04 +0000 UTCGuess that makes my decision easier to go to the NFL Draft in Green Bay then. Mania in Minneapolis and the draft in Green Bay all within a month would’ve been awesome but oh well.

2024-05-02 21:56:18 +0000 UTCAny talk of moving Wrestlemania to Memorial Day weekend? I mean if they’re moving to May might as well right?

2024-05-02 21:53:35 +0000 UTCPhilly should get the Dallas treatment and have it come back very soon . Everything was so smooth and the stadium complex was actually big enough to host it w parking and such. Just move it back a few weeks for the weather and we are golden
