WrestleMania, the flagship event of WWE, is growing in popularity and interest from potential host cities. WWE President Nick Khan recently discussed the success of the most recent WrestleMania event at Lincoln Financial Field and the economic impact it had on the host city. With a list of interested cities to choose from, WWE aims to find the best venue for their premium live events.
Looking ahead to future events, Khan mentioned the possibility of shifting tactics, including exploring indoor venues to avoid weather-related challenges. The site for next year’s WrestleMania is set to be announced in the coming months. While specific ticket sales figures for WrestleMania have not been disclosed, Khan hinted at the event bringing in a substantial amount of revenue.
WWE is also preparing for the move of their show “Raw” to Netflix in January as part of a lucrative $5 billion deal. Levesque expressed confidence that WWE fans will easily transition to the streaming platform, citing the company’s history of retaining viewers through location changes. Both Levesque and Khan emphasized the significance of this Netflix deal and moving “SmackDown” to USA Network. With a successful WrestleMania behind them and exciting changes on the horizon, WWE continues to expand its presence in the world of sports and entertainment.
