Minnesota Gets Reason From WWE Why City Lost WrestleMania 41 Bid
Cue the Squidward "window meme" from Spongebob Squarepants as Minnesota will watch from afar as WWE WrestleMania 41 will now be hosted by Las Vegas next April.
The announcement was made following WWE Backlash at the Kentucky Derby that Sin City would be the "belle of the ball" to present "the grand daddy of them all" despite heavy speculation that Minneapolis would be the host of WWE's premium PLE.
A new article from the Star Tribune happens to give reason as to why the Twin Cities won't play host at the US Bank Stadium, a massive dome which is the home of the NFL's Minnesota Vikings. Minnesota Sports and Events president and chief executive Wendy Blackshaw said that WWE pivoted due to the entire company pivoting over a year ago. However, Blackshaw stayed positive for future PLE potentail for her city down the line.
"We were informed by WWE that Minnesota would not host WrestleMania in 2025 due to a change in direction by new ownership. Although disappointed, we are in discussions with WWE about future events in Minnesota. We are optimistic that Minnesota will host WWE events here in the future."
WrestleMania heading to Sin City makes plenty of sense considering Endeavor, who scooped up WWE during WrestleMania season last year homebase is out of Las Vegas.
This won't be the first time WrestleMania popped up in Las Vegas. WrestleMania IX actually took place at Caesar's Palace down on the Las Vegas strip, not too far from where 41 will take place at Allegiant Stadium.
