WWE Seats Fans on Stage, Moves Pyro for WrestleMania 42

:wm42:

WWE is making a significant change to the WrestleMania 42 stage setup, seating fans directly on the stage and repositioning pyrotechnics behind the main stage. The shift marks a major departure from the company's traditional WrestleMania production design.

Construction is already underway inside Allegiant Stadium ahead of the April 18 and 19 shows. According to PWInsider, the new layout will feature fans seated on both sides of the stage, with an entrance aisle running down the center.

The redesigned stage will include two large square columns on each side to frame the entrances and overall presentation. With fans now part of the visual backdrop, pyrotechnics will fire from behind the stage rather than from the traditional positions.

This configuration represents a notable shift from WWE's standard WrestleMania setup, where the stage area is typically kept clear for entrances and production elements. The change could create a more immersive atmosphere for both live attendees and viewers watching at home.

WrestleMania 42 takes place this weekend at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, with Night 1 on April 18 and Night 2 on April 19.
