WrestleMania 41 Rumors: WWE Insider Claims “Frontrunner” Venue Decided Despite Conflicting Location Reports

The hype for WrestleMania 40 is reaching a new peak daily as fans look forward to the Philadelphia event. As WWE tradition demands every year, the venue details of the next WrestleMania matches are revealed before the current iteration begins. But, some rather unusual developments seem to be yielding a data mismatch for WrestleMania 41. 

Usually, the location for the WrestleMania as well as other big Premium Live Events, are predetermined in advance and aren’t subjected to changes. But, this time, an insider report isn’t quite certain about the venue for WrestleMania 41. Where exactly will next year’s Mania take place, and why are the organizers facing problems in venue selection?

What is the confusion behind the WrestleMania 41 venue selection?

Mike Johnson of PW Insider recently released a new Q&A format news report wherein he answered several fan questions in the pro wrestling scene. One of these questions Johnson was asked about the WrestleMania 41 venue. 

Responding to this, he wrote, “The front runner had been Minneapolis, but there’s been some rumblings of it possibly being in Las Vegas. With Endeavor now owning WWE, the old traditions and plans are out the window for whatever they deem to be the best moves for the company.” This indicates that Minneapolis may remain the final venue despite Las Vegas rumblings.

The last time a WrestleMania event was held in Las Vegas was WWE’s first-ever open-air event. Despite this, however, the response to the Mania that year was very underwhelming.

Endeavor’s entry has led to several changes in the WWE, the latest change being the venue change of WrestleMania. In fact, the body also tried to change this year’s Mania via the hands of Dwayne Johnson.

What has changed at WrestleMania 40?

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson became the newest board member of Endeavor’s TKO group in January. Soon after, The Brahma Bull superseded every WWE law that he had been abiding by as a wrestler all these years. 

He tried to inject himself in the main event of WrestleMania 40 while denying the Royal Rumble winner Cody Rhodes his rightful WWE title shot. Even now, while he may not be part of the WWE title match anymore, with Endeavor’s powers, he is still headlining WrestleMania.

Moreover, he switched from competing against Roman Reigns to teaming up with him without giving a second thought to things. Thus, while this year’s venue may not be changing, a lot of its core values seem to be skewed now. What are your thoughts on this? Let them flow in your comments.
