WWE to Bring Royal Rumble 2025, Two-Night SummerSlam, and WrestleMania to Indianapolis

WWE continues to assert its dominance in the world of professional wrestling with a groundbreaking announcement: a strategic partnership with Indiana Sports Corp to host their largest stadium events in Indianapolis.

This pioneering collaboration promises to elevate Indianapolis’ profile as a premier destination for WWE’s flagship events, including WrestleMania, SummerSlam, and Royal Rumble.

In a statement released on their official website, WWE unveiled plans to kick off this monumental partnership with Royal Rumble on February 1, 2025, hosted at Lucas Oil Stadium. The agreement extends to future years, envisioning multi-night extravaganzas for SummerSlam and WrestleMania at the same venue, underscoring WWE’s commitment to delivering unparalleled entertainment experiences.

The initiative not only highlights WWE’s global reach but also underscores its impact on local economies and tourism in Indiana. Beyond the flagship events, WWE’s weekly staples such as Raw, SmackDown, NXT, and various live shows will take place across multiple arenas in cities like Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, and Evansville, fostering widespread engagement and community involvement.

”STAMFORD, Conn. & INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., June 24, 2024 – WWE, part of TKO Group Holdings (NYSE: TKO), and Indiana Sports Corp today announced a first-of-its-kind partnership that will bring WWE’s three largest stadium events – WrestleMania, SummerSlam and Royal Rumble – to Indianapolis.

Kicking off with Royal Rumble on February 1, 2025, Lucas Oil Stadium will host all three Premium Live Events including a two-night SummerSlam and two-night WrestleMania in future years.

Additionally, Raw, SmackDown, NXT and WWE Live Events will emanate from arenas across Indiana, including Indianapolis, Fort Wayne and Evansville throughout the partnership.”

While WWE’s existing partnerships, such as their lucrative deal with Saudi Arabia for events like the Royal Rumble beyond 2025, remain significant, the Indiana Sports Corp collaboration marks a pivotal moment for WWE’s expansion strategy in the United States. As WWE continues to showcase its business prowess and global appeal, the partnership with Indiana sets a precedent for potential future ventures with other states.
