Nick Khan Confirms Philadelphia’s WrestleMania 40 Deal Was Prearranged for Years

As anticipation for WrestleMania 40 reaches its peak, WWE is making sure that this edition of the Show of Shows lives up to its prestigious legacy. Scheduled to be held at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on April 6th and 7th, fans can anticipate nothing short of spectacular from this historic event.

With WrestleMania 40 on the horizon, WWE has rapidly assembled a star-studded card. Among the confirmed matchups is a highly anticipated clash between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns for the Undisputed Universal Championship, promising an electrifying showdown between two of the industry’s top talents. This is just one of so many matches fans can look forward to as well.

Leading up to the event, WWE President Nick Khan appeared on Matthew Belloni’s The Town podcast. Khan revealed that the agreement for Philadelphia to host WrestleMania has been established for over four years.

“This may sound self-contradictory, but I try not to be an ‘I’, ‘me’, ‘my’ guy. This was the last WrestleMania deal that I inherited. So, this deal has been in place for over four years. We’re excited to be going to Philadelphia. We’ll be there April 6th and 7th.”

Ringside News has also exclusively reported that the lineups for WrestleMania Saturday and Sunday have already been internally locked in. Therefore, we will have to wait and see whether the event will turn out to be a memorable one for both nights.
