Mar 26, 2017 at 1:06 PM
WWE has been able to establish Wrestlemania as one of the biggest brands in all of the sports entertainment. Over the years’, it has become an extravaganza that goes on for one long week known as the Wrestlemania week.
WWE takes over the host city of the event months earlier. This year, as we all know the grandest event of the year will take place at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando Florida, which was refurbished as the Camping World Stadium, earlier.
Now, the entire set of the event remains worth a watch, like every year. The whole decoration, using of props and the usage of the pyro-techniques makes this one a complete package.
As reported by wrestlingINC.com, WWE has officially begun to construct the stage for the night. A couple of tweets were posted on the social media to indicate the same. By the looks of it, this year too something spectacular is waiting for us.

The ramp for the superstars’ entrance always turns out to be a top notch. Last year, a big star was hanging above the head whereas the previous year, it was a big play button keeping the similarity to that year’s theme.
More than 70,000 plus people are expected to experience the biggest showdown of the year. This is an open stadium and so this year’s Wrestlemania will be hosted under the open roof.

This is the second time that WWE is hosting the event at the same venue. Back in 2008, Wrestlemania 24 was hosted here, when it was only known as the Citrus Bowl.
That year, Undertaker was in the main event of the evening alongside Edge for the World Heavyweight Championship, whereas, Nature Boy Ric Flair competed in his last match against the show-stopper Shawn Michaels. Also, Big Show featured in a match with Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather.
