WrestleMania 36 coming to Tampa - April 5, 2020 - Raymond James Stadium

[slik]

I've been hinting at it for a while -- but now PWInsider is also reporting WM36 is coming to TAMPA.

@TheBradShepard/Oh You Didn't Know Podcast reported it as likely Tampa at the beginning of November.




You're in luck for next year Seph, the current rumors have Vince heavily favoring Florida over the rumored Minneapolis. He's encouraged Miami, Orlando and Tampa to bid over the last few months.



It would only be one year less than WM going back to New Orleans.

WWE is also scheduled to visit TAMPA and JACKSONVILLE before the end of February too...

I feel like it will be Tampa, Jacksonville or Miami -- but Orlando wouldn't surprise me.

BTW, that WM36 in Tampa announcement should be in the next couple weeks, at latest.

So much for Minneapolis...

I think it's probably going to be a Pirate theme btw.
No generic palm trees or sun for the logo, full on Pirate

AHOY

Dammit, where's Paul Burchill to reprise his short-lived pirate gimmick when you need him?


Still can't believe to this day Vince didn't know what Pirates of the Caribbean was...someone was obviously inspired by the Captain Jack Sparrow character.

Kairi Sane to main event WM36

If she's somehow not on the card, NXT better grab that giant pirate ship for their Mania Takeover show for her.

Then load all of Creative into the cannons and blast them away from wrestling since they would have wasted the only reason at all to hold a Mania with a giant ship in the background.

[Shisen Kopf]

Hopefully the maint even will be Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar in some kind of gimmick match
