It’s been rumored for multiple venues in the Northeast for months now, including Philadelphia and Detroit, but it appears that the WWE has finalized their location for next year’s WrestleMania 35 and it will be at the Metlife Stadium in New Jersey, the home of the NFL’s New York Giants and New York Jets. Much like the NFL team, the event will be billed as from New York as well, like the WWE did when they were last at Metlife Stadium for WrestleMania 29 in 2013. That years WrestleMania was headlined by John Cena defeating The Rock for the WWE Championship in front of 80,000+ people in attendance. The news was reported today by Barstool Sports‘ Robbie Fox.
BREAKING: #WrestleMania 35 will be held back at Metlife Stadium in New Jersey (promoted as New York). Philadelphia and Detroit were the other frontrunners but I’m told NY is a done deal at this point.

BREAKING: WrestleMania 35 to Return to A Familiar Location
Incidentally, it’s the same location that internet reporter Brad Shepard, who has broken many wrestling stories in the past (such as Vince McMahon bringing back the XFL back in December), mentioned as being the final choice back in November.
Barring an unexpected change, Metlife Stadium will host Wrestlemania 35.
