While WWE is on the road to WrestleMania 41 this April in Las Vegas, the host cities for future WrestleMania events are still up in the air.
In June 2024, WWE and Indiana Sports Corp announced a deal that will bring WrestleMania, SummerSlam, and Royal Rumble to Indianapolis. The Royal Rumble will be on February 1, 2025, at Lucas Oil Stadium, which will also host a two-night SummerSlam and two-night WrestleMania in future years. Also, Raw, SmackDown, NXT and other events will take place from arenas across Indiana, including Indianapolis, Fort Wayne and Evansville.
In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reported, “Rumors of WrestleMania in 2027 in Indianapolis aren’t true. There is a WrestleMania date coming to Indianapolis but it’s many years from now, I believe in the early 2030s.”
The last WrestleMania to take place in the city was in 1992 with WrestleMania VIII at the Hoosier Dome. The card featured Intercontinental Champion Roddy Piper defending his title against Bret Hart, WWE Champion Ric Flair defending against Randy Savage, and Hulk Hogan vs. Sid Justice.
