Indianapolis is set to host three of WWE’s largest stadium events in the near future, with Royal Rumble taking place on February 1, 2025, at Lucas Oil Stadium. The city has a successful track record in hosting major sporting events and attracting millions of visitors and substantial media coverage over the years, contributing to its international brand recognition.
WWE and Indiana Sports Corp. have joined forces to bring these events to Indianapolis, with two-night events for SummerSlam and WrestleMania planned for the future. The agreement also includes hosting WWE television shows, Raw, Smackdown, and NXT, as well as live events at various arenas across Indiana.
Indiana Sports Corp., founded in 1979, has a rich history of hosting national and international sporting events. These events have had a substantial economic impact, resulting in over $4 billion in direct spending within the community. Patrick Talty, president of Indiana Sports Corp., expressed enthusiasm for the partnership with WWE and highlighted the city’s commitment to bringing top-tier sporting events to its residents.
