According to a report by The Tennessean, WWE will bring WrestleMania 43 to Nashville in 2027 only if a proposed enclosed stadium is built.
Butch Spyridon, CEO of the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp., had spoken in the past with WWE about hosting WrestleMania. It is being said that when Mayor John Cooper and the Tennessee Titans delivered the draft terms for the enclosed proposed stadium to the Nashville Council in October, those talks had ramped up and Spyridon received a verbal commitment from WWE to host the 2027 WrestleMania with the provision the stadium is built.
The report notes that should WrestleMania comes to Nashville, it would have an estimated economic impact of $206.5 million in revenue.
The proposal to build a $2.1 billion enclosed stadium will be voted on by the Metro Council. Spyridon recently met with the Council to report the deal with WrestleMania was in place.
WWE released the following statement to The Tennessean:
“Nashville has exploded as a cultural center in the United States and as the land of opportunity. WWE looks forward to hosting many events in partnership with the great city of Nashville at the proposed enclosed stadium.”
Nissan Stadium hosted SummerSlam this past August.
