Sports pleasure powerhouse WWE has struck a wide-ranging- based, initial- of- its- kind partnership that will bring three Tournament stadium events, including WrestleMania, to Indianapolis, starting with the Royal Rumble on Feb. 1, 2025, per an special report from The Hollywood Reporter.
Thanks to” Triple H” Paul Levesque’s creative success ( the former wrestler who is now WWE’s chief content officer ) and his team, it’s called a triple coup ( for Indiana ).
Under the offer with the Indiana Sports Corp, unveiled on Monday, the grappling promotion, part of TKO Group, may even put on a two- night WrestleMania and a two- night SummerSlam in Indianapolis in coming years. The Survivor Series is the fifth of WWE’s “big four” advanced live activities of the year, with the third one being the “big four.”

Furthermore, under the relationship, Raw, SmackDown, NXT and WWE live events may emerge from arenas across Indiana, including Indianapolis, Fort Wayne and Evansville.
The deal involves the biggest site price for a WrestleMania and a Royal Rumble, according to sources who spoke to the company about the financial information.
WWE has seen a great demand for its live shows and has been able to charge guests higher fees as a result of the popularity of its grappling stories with people, especially over the past month. Additionally, it has given the company a platform to get and host WWE events, which has opened up new business opportunities.
According to TKO researcher Curry Baker in January,” site costs are poised to become a significant contribution to live event revenue and profitability.” He argued that” this is one place that is already down to a strong start with the UFC/Saudi and Australia/WWE disclosures”. In February, the state of Western Australia brought WWE’s advanced lived event Elimination Chamber to Perth. ” Management noted that the Perth function is WWE’s largest site cost always”, Baker highlighted.
WWE stated on Monday that the events, which include WWE, SummerSlam, and Royal Rumble, have a combined economic impact of more than$ 300 million. They each draw participants from all 50 states and dozens of nations from around the world, according to the company. ” To meeting in 2024, WrestleMania and Royal Rumble set all- time WWE data for viewers, wall, funding, items and social media”.
Patrick Talty, president of Indiana Sports Corp, touted the “groundbreaking” partnership, saying:” For over four decades, our city’s sports strategy has brought in millions of visitors and priceless hours of international brand- building media coverage. This partnership with WWE allows for fresh and exciting ways to advance that strategy.
Since its establishment in 1979, Indiana Sports Corp has hosted numerous events, including Super Bowl XLVI. ” In total, these events have led to more than$ 4 billion in direct spending in the community”, according to the organization.

The WWE Universe will be at Lucas Oil Stadium for the Royal Rumble in 2025, as well as a possible SummerSlam and WrestleMania, according to Chris Legentil, executive vice president, talent relations andamp; head of communications at WWE. We’re proud to work with Indiana Sports Corp to highlight the state’s outstanding economy and tourism.
