WrestleMania 37 looking like it’s moving out of California and heading to Florida
Multiple sources are confirming that WrestleMania 37 is heading out of the state of California and will not be held at the brand new SoFi Stadium in Inglewood as originally announced.
There are not much details at this point about the reversal of the decision but things are looking up for Florida as Tampa Bay is once again being talked about to host next year’s WrestleMania. Tampa was originally set to host this year’s Mania but coronavirus changed everything and the show moved to the Performance Center in Orlando.
Tampa will also host the Super Bowl next year in February so it would be a double whammy for the city if it also gets WrestleMania a month later. The Super Bowl is also set for the Raymond James Stadium.
The news of WrestleMania going to Hollywood was announced in February of this year, with the show planned for the SoFi Stadium and the other supporting events at the STAPLES Center. But last month, the STAPLES Center booked two concerts on the days that Smackdown and NXT Takeover were supposed to take place, raising suspicions that WWE would not be holding WrestleMania week in the city.
Those contractual obligations are with the state of California regarding WrestleMania…
The news of WWE looking into Tampa Bay is accurate. Very accurate. https://t.co/vqJcMcI3KI

I was just about to run this within the hour but wanted to give #WWE a chance to comment and was waiting for a response. Multiple sources have told me as well WrestleMania may be on the move to Tampa, about a month after the Super Bowl is held at the same venue. https://t.co/vFjnxM0iry

A rep for #WWE tells me at this time regarding the report of WrestleMania moving from Los Angeles to Tampa:
"We have nothing to report right now and given the current environment, we continue to monitor locations for all of our potential events."
