WWE Receives Site Fee, Other Incentives For WrestleMania 41 In Las Vegas

After months of speculation, WWE announced that they are set to host 2025’s WrestleMania XLI event in Las Vegas, despite strong interest from Minnesota.

The event on April 19 and 20, 2025 will emanate from Allegiant Stadium, with the weather in Minnesota being one source of concern within WWE. During the TKO Q1 earnings call this week, TKO CFO Andrew Schleimer further explained why Vegas was chosen to host Mania:

“As we have stressed, site fees are a key area of focus for us. This event includes a meaningful payment, as well as other cash and non-cash incentives,” said Schleimer.

Site fees have indeed become a major earner for WWE, with it revealed by Schleimer on the same call that Elimination Chamber in Perth on February 24 brought in the highest non-Saudi Arabia international PLE site fees in WWE history.

Allegiant Stadium previously hosted WWE SummerSlam 2021, with over 51,000 flocking to see John Cena take on Roman Reigns in the main event. WrestleMania 41 will be the second professional wrestling event to take place in the stadium, which opened in 2020.
