As part of the week-long WrestleMania celebration, WWE will have an unprecedented five consecutive nights of sellouts at the Citrus Bowl and Amway Center.

"WrestleMania Week was a tremendous success for the City of Orlando and it was an honour to host WWE and their fans back in our community," said Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer.

"This is a testament to the investments we've made in our community venues that continue to attract these showcase events and solidify Orlando as the nation's leading sports and entertainment destination."

"WrestleMania made a triumphant return to Orlando and again broke multiple records," said WWE Executive Vice President of Special Events John Saboor.

"This success would not have been possible without the tireless support of Mayor Dyer, the Local Organizing Committee and all of the public and private sector partners throughout Central Florida. We now turn our attention to New Orleans for our WrestleMania 34 celebration."

WrestleMania 34 will take place on Sunday, April 8, 2018, from the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans. Ticket information will be announced later this year.
