A non-profit organization tasked with bringing major events to Minnesota was told the city was not chosen to host WWE WrestleMania 41 due to “a change in direction by new ownership.”
U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota had been a finalist in the running to land the event before Las Vegas was announced as the host city on Saturday.
Minnesota Sports and Events (MNSE) president and chief executive Wendy Blackshaw told the Star Tribune that they were informed Minnesota will not host WrestleMania 41 due to a “change in direction by new ownership.”
“We were informed by WWE that Minnesota would not host WrestleMania in 2025 due to a change in direction by new ownership,” Blackshaw said. “Although disappointed, we are in discussions with WWE about future events in Minnesota. We are optimistic that Minnesota will host WWE events here in the future.”
It was noted in the article that “Vegas-based Endeavor Sports and Entertainment took majority ownership of WWE about a year ago.”
WWE announced on Saturday that WWE WrestleMania 41 will take place April 19 & 20, 2025 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.
