What is WrestleMania?
If you want to see the best of the best in the world of sports entertainment, WrestleMania is the holy grail of athletic pomp and circumstance. The thunderous live event features multiple high-profile wrestling matches over the eye-catching championships in WWE and dramatic storylines that have been playing out on TV and premium live events for weeks, months and sometimes years. You’ll see tag team competition try to outpace each other, women’s wrestling defy expectations and heated one-on-one brawls to be deemed top-tier in the international world of pro wrestling.
For instance, the main event of night two of WrestleMania 39 will see the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns (who has held that title for over 900 days) defend against “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes, the winner of the 2023 Royal Rumble and, oddly enough, a co-founder of WWE’s hottest competition, All Elite Wrestling (Rhodes left AEW in late 2022 over contract disputes and returned to WWE at last year’s WrestleMania). Night one of WrestleMania will see SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair (daughter of WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair) take on the dominant Aussie Rhea Ripley. Since this year’s show takes place in Hollywood (or as close as WWE’s mammoth fan base can get), there is a hint of celebrity intrigue with former WWE champion Seth Rollins going one-on-one with boxer/internet personality Logan Paul, plus WWE United States Champion Austin Theory defending his belt against former WWE poster boy/current Hollywood star John Cena.
March 31, 1985 in Madison Square Garden is when the world of wrestling exploded with the inaugural WrestleMania. Thirty-eight years later, the annual event has become an entertainment phenomenon on par with the Super Bowl and the World Series, seen by millions of people all around the world. Last year’s show took place in AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas and drew more than 130,000 people into the building over two nights. In terms of social media engagement, WrestleMania 38 drew a combined 2.2 billion impressions across all social platforms compared to the 1.8 billion impressions garnered by Super Bowl 56 that same year. SoFi Stadium is said to have a capacity of over 70,000, so WrestleMania will surely fill those seats.
