Wrestlemania may be coming to The Music City, Nashville, TN for the first time in 2027...if the city builds a proposed enclosed stadium, according to The Tenneseean.

Butch Spyridon, CEO of the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp. told the newspaper that they have a verbal commitment from WWE to host what would be Wrestlemania 43, should the stadium be built.

“The minute the Mayor’s office and the Titans released the stadium term sheet, we started looking for opportunities," Spyridon said. "WWE had an incredible experience at Nissan Stadium this past summer, and we started talking. WrestleMania is considered the No. 6 top sports event brand in the world, and we are grateful for their confidence and belief in Nashville."

When asked for comment, WWE issued the following statement: “Nashville has exploded as a cultural center in the United States and as the land of opportunity. WWE looks forward to hosting many events in partnership with the great city of Nashville at the proposed enclosed stadium.”

There has never been a Wrestlemania held in the State of Tennessee.

A proposal on whether to build the stadium or not will be put to a vote in the near future.
