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

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.

I refuse to believe this until Kenton Lane confirms this on Twitter also. :shifty:

He already has

April 5, 2020 is the believed date at this time

So much for Minneapolis...

Minneapolis is always the brides maid...

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

Oh god, cringing at hearing Michael Cole say repeatedly "Will the BIG DOG walk the plank at WRESTLEMANIA?

Wooooo another rasslefest show I'll be going to. This will be #5

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

No speech from Vince McMahon this year, interesting.

Titus/Charlotte/Stephanie/HHH/Roman instead.

Considering they have a pirate ship in the stadium, she better.

Paul Burchill gotta come back for this.

I wonder why Rousey wasn't included lllololololololol

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.

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

Paul Burchill can return through NXT UK
