Wells Fargo Center Hosts Biggest WWE Event Ever: A Nostalgic Look Back and Excitement for the Future

Michael Sulkes, the General Manager of the Wells Fargo Center, has been a lifelong WWE fan. He attended WrestleMania XV at the Wells Fargo Center in 1999 when he was just 13 years old. Reflecting on how the WWE has evolved over the years, Sulkes notes that the event has outgrown arenas and is now held across multiple nights at different venues.

The growth of the WWE is evident in how it has expanded to three sold-out events at the Wells Fargo Center and its surrounding areas. With approximately 17,000 people expected to attend each show at the Wells Fargo Center, arena President Phil Lawes estimates that about 6,000 fans have purchased tickets for all three events.
