WWE’s “WrestleMania 35” will be held at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium in 2019, TheWrap is told by multiple individuals with knowledge of the booking. The official announcement is expected soon.
The pro-wrestling promotion had been planning a mid-to-late February announcement for months, we’re told. Any later and the company would run into its “WrestleMania 34” promotion, which could cause confusion among casual fans. But WWE prefers to make their big announcements locally when talent is already in town — that makes sense logistically and saves money on travel.
Unfortunately, the traveling circus that is WWE isn’t currently scheduled to be in the actual Garden State until Sunday, May 6’s “Backlash” pay-per-view in Newark, New Jersey.
