As we previously reported here on eWn, WWE has partnered with the Indiana Sports Corporation to bring its three major stadium events — WrestleMania, SummerSlam, and the Royal Rumble — to Indianapolis.
The Wrestling Observer Newsletter has shared additional details regarding the agreement, indicating that the deal encompasses more events than the previously mentioned three.
The initial pay-per-view event under this agreement will be the Royal Rumble 2025. Moreover, both SummerSlam and WrestleMania will be extended to two nights when they take place in Indianapolis.
The deal spans from 2025 to 2032, during which Indiana will compensate WWE for hosting RAW, SmackDown, NXT, and other live events in Indianapolis and other cities within the state, with regular shows set for Fort Wayne and Evansville.
Although the specific dates for SummerSlam and WrestleMania are yet to be finalized, both parties are collaborating to address logistical considerations such as hotel room availability.
It’s important to note that the RAW event in Evansville on September 30 is not included in the current agreement. Furthermore, WWE plans to organize multiple shows at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
Lucas Oil Stadium will host the Royal Rumble on February 1, 2025, marking the beginning of this partnership.
