For months now, the speculations reached the highest point on guessing the potential venue of the biggest event of the year in 2019.

According to the press releases from WWE, the MetLife Stadium in New York-New Jersey will host the event on April 7th, 2019. More details of the pay-per-view are likely to be released when a press conference takes place tomorrow. This is not the first time that the venue hosts the show, it also played host in 2013.

The official announcement from the WWE came after the news broke out by New York Post, first. It was also confirmed that the annual tradition of a special NXT Takeover show and the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony will also accompany the show.

Check out the statements released, here:

“As first reported on nypost.com, the New York-New Jersey area will once again play host to The Showcase of the Immortals when WrestleMania 35 descends on MetLife Stadium on April 7, 2019. Another big part of WrestleMania Week will be the 2019 WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, NXT TakeOver, Monday Night Raw and SmackDown LIVE, all of which will take place at Brooklyn's Barclays Center.

With these many events scheduled for the same weekend, the host city will benefit to a huge extent. A huge number of fans arrive at the destination to enjoy the shows giving a boost to the travel and tourism business. The post-Wrestlemania episodes of WWE Raw and Smackdown Live are also reserved after the show.



Five years ago, Wrestlemania 29 took place at the MetLife Stadium which was memorable for a number of reasons. We saw the second edition of the dream match between The Rock and John Cena in the main event. While we also saw, Brock Lesnar return to take on Triple H in a No Holds Barred Match. Plus, we witnessed The Undertaker take on CM Punk, The Shield Debut and WWE Tag Team Champions Team Hell No clash with Dolph Ziggler & Big E.

Despite getting negative reactions, it created a record for a sold-out arena of 80,676 fans from all 50 states and 34 countries in the New York City. It was also the last Wrestlemania event that was available strictly on pay-per-view buying process before the WWE Network was launched.
