There’s a new rumor floating around that WrestleMania might return to Las Vegas.
As per the Vital Vegas account, which reports on Las Vegas news, there’s ‘early word’ suggesting that the Grandest Stage of Them All might be heading to Sin City.
The announcement of the event coming to the city is expected soon. Typically, the next city announcement is made during the current year’s WrestleMania show. Therefore, we should find out on April 6-7 during this year’s WrestleMania XL.
If it indeed takes place there, it will be the first WrestleMania in Las Vegas since WrestleMania IX, held at Caesars Palace in 1993. The event was headlined by Yokozuna challenging Bret Hart for the WWF Championship, followed by a subsequent defense against Hulk Hogan in an impromptu match.
