It was recently reported that WWE would be returning to New Orleans, LA for WrestleMania 34, and now it’s been confirmed. WWE announced this morning that WrestleMania will be held from the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in 2018.
The following announcement was posted on WWE.com:
“WrestleMania 34 will emanate from the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans on Sunday, April 8, 2018. A capacity crowd of 75,167 WWE fans filled the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in 2014 for WrestleMania 30. That was the year that The Undertaker’s WrestleMania Streak famously came to an end at the hands of Brock Lesnar, as well as the event where Daniel Bryan defeated Batista and Randy Orton in a triple threat main event to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. WWE will hold a press event Tuesday morning in New Orleans to make the WrestleMania 34 announcement official.”
WrestleMania XXX was a big event which generated a record-breaking $142.2 million for the New Orleans region, so it’s not hard to see why the city would be eager to host the event again so soon.
Tonight WWE Raw is set to take place from the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, LA and both The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels are set to appear. Check back tomorrow for coverage on the WrestleMania 34 press conference and more.
