We’ve been expecting word on the host city for next year’s WrestleMania 35 pay-per-view and it appears to be a done deal.
According to Robbie Fox of Barstool Sports, Metlife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey will host the event on April 7, 2019.
Philadelphia and Detroit were reportedly finalists under consideration as part of the bidding process. If you’re in the camp of people unhappy that “WrestleMania returns to the same cities every year” – it’s not hard to understand why WWE is returning to New York City.
MetLife Stadium hosted WrestleMania 29 back in 2013. The show, which featured John Cena vs. The Rock in the main event, was a monster success for the company. Not only did they pack over 80,000 fans into the stadium, but it was the highest grossing show in company history, pulling in over $72 million.
WWE holding SummerSlam in Brooklyn for 4 consecutive years is another sign how ‘accommodating’ the city is for them. Last year’s WrestleMania 33 weekend from Orlando, FL (Hall of Fame, NXT, WM33, RAW, SD) brought $181.5 million to the local economy – making WrestleMania weekend an attraction that cities bend over backwards to secure.
An official announcement from WWE is expected in the following days.
