The city and venue that hosts Wrestlemania always play a big role in the event. Previously, back in this year’s January, WWE had confirmed that the next edition of the grandest PPV, i.e., Wrestlemania 34 would be hosted by the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana in 2018.
The date got confirmed on April 8th. It is the same venue where the 30th edition took place.
Now that this one has already been confirmed, there are some speculations ongoing over which city will receive the honour to host the “granddaddy of them all” in 2019. It will mark the 35th anniversary of the event.
As per the reports from IWNerd.com, the bidding process has already been done for 2019. In case you don’t know, WWE changed the rule of hosting PPV from last year onwards. Cities who are intended to host one of the big four PPVs of the year (Royal Rumble, Wrestlemania, Summerslam, Survivor Series) will have to bid for it, much earlier.
So the source hinted that the front-runner in the race among the cities is Miami, Florida. The city had hosted the biggest PPV back in 2012, and so it would be much earlier that it will return to the same location. But, considering the same thing that happened with Wrestlemania 34, the possibilities can’t be wiped out.
The rumour mill also reported previously that Minneapolis, Minnesota is eyeing the 35th Wrestlemania after losing the battle to NOLA, this year. They have a newer venue, US Bank Stadium where the 2018 Superbowl will take place. So, certainly, this makes them one of the biggest contenders.
Philadelphia lost the bid, this year which disqualified them from the race. They instead were rewarded with the Royal Rumble PPV, next year. It is still not clear whether they would bid for Wrestlemania or not. The same can be said for Indianapolis, as well.
As for the other cities, Toronto, New York, Columbus, and Detroit are also thrown into the mix. The first one is a sheer possibility since WWE has not hosted Wrestlemania in Canada for a long time. Also, Vince McMahon always dreamt of taking WWE overseas which makes London a rumored location, as well.
