It has been heavily rumored over the past couple of weeks that Tampa Bay would be the city that would host Wrestlemania 36 and now it has been made official. This will be the first time the city of Tampa Bay will be hosting a WrestleMania event. However, it will be the fourth time the state of Florida will host this event and the second time in four years.
[lawrence-related id=884930]Tampa Bay originally put their bid in to have their city host WrestleMania back in May of last year. The Tampa Bay Sports Commission have reportedly also put in a bid to host the Royal Rumble either in 2022 or 2023 according to NBC Channel 8 News Tampa.
As we head into the official joint announcement tomorrow at the Raymond James Stadium, top WWE stars are expected to attend the event. What will also take place will be the official first look of the WrestleMania 36 logo. As we have seen from previous history, the event is also used as a way to promote the year’s current WrestleMania with using one of their main stars to confront their upcoming opponents during it.
WWE will be live streaming the announcement on their Facebook, Youtube, and Twitter pages on Thursday, March 6, at 11 a.m.
