WrestleMania 41: WWE President hints at new Host City under consideration

Moving away from the original tradition of announcing the next WrestleMania date and venue for the following year, WWE decided to postpone things for a later time during the XL season of the show that ran till the beginning of April.

That being said, speculations are running rampant regarding the hosting city details of WrestleMania 41 set for 2025. Minneapolis, Minnesota has long been discussed to be the front-runner with the US Bank Stadium being the exact location.

However, during his address at the SBJ World Congress of Sports, WWE President Nick Khan provided insights into the plans for WrestleMania 41 and stated that it won't coincide with the NCAA Men's Tournament Final Four. Las Vegas was also said to be the one city being considered as the host.

The WWE head-honcho emphasized via The Sporting Tribune's Arash Markazi that while the location for WrestleMania 41 hasn't been finalized, it's presumably not happening in an outdoor East Coast stadium again, nor will it coincide with the Final Four like this year.

"WWE president Nick Khan wasn't ready to announce the location of WrestleMania in 2025 just yet but he said you can assume it won't be in an outdoor East coast stadium again and it won't go head-to-head with the Final Four again."

It was also revealed by Khan that the Big-Four PLEs Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, SummerSlam, and Survivor Series will be held in the United States and Canada for the foreseeable future while other PLEs like Backlash, Elimination Chamber could go international.

Meanwhile, this isn't the first time that Las Vegas has come into the discussion of WrestleMania 41. According to the previous reports from the Vital Vegas account, renowned for its insights into Sin City happenings, it was first mentioned.

If Las Vegas does host the 41st edition of WrestleMania then it would be the first time since WrestleMania IX was held in this city at the Caesars Palace in 1993 where Yokozuna clashed with Bret Hart for the WWF Championship, a showdown that eventually included Hulk Hogan.
