For weeks now the status of WrestleMania 37 was under speculation amid the coronavirus pandemic and it seems the show will be shifted back. WWE was reportedly planning to move the date of the show for two weeks. The originally booked date March 27 will now be postponed to April 11. It seems the company wants this time as they believe more time could smoothen the course.
An official update from the company noted on the next three WrestleMania events until 2023. The date and locations for the 37, 38, and 39th editions were let known in a big way through all the WWE’s digital platforms.
Date & locations for Wrestlemania 37, 38 and 39, revealed
WWE released a WrestleMania Report in which Triple H, Stephanie McMahon, John Cena, Universal Champion Roman Reigns, Paul Heyman, and SmackDown Women’s Champion Sasha Banks were featured. Reigns announced that WrestleMania 37 will take place this year at the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida on Saturday, April 10th, and Sunday, April 11th.

Sasha Banks announced that WrestleMania 38 will take place on Sunday, April 3rd 2022 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas while Cena announced that WrestleMania 39 will go Hollywood on Sunday, April 2nd 2023 at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, California.
It was previously noted by Fightful Select that while everything was still subject to change due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the internal plan for WrestleMania 37 was always there to host the show on April 11. A change of date was rumored several months ago where the date April 18 was also mentioned but then the company stuck to April 11.
It was revealed a few months ago that WWE was possibly planning to move the event from the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, California to Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida. This was the venue that was the originally planned location for WrestleMania 36 until the coronavirus pandemic hit and the show was held at the closed-set WWE Performance Center.

Recent updates already suggested that WrestleMania 37 could neither be held in California nor at the Tropicana Field in Tampa Bay, Florida, or at the Amway Center in Orlando, as MLB’s Tampa Bay Rays and the NBA’s Orlando Magic will be using those venues around April 11. Raymond James Stadium remained an option as there’s no such event planned during Mania weekend.
