For sure, WWE is set to have multiple praisable things for the 2023 WrestleMania which is scheduled to be held as a two-night event, taking place on April 1 and 2, 2023, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California—the original location of WrestleMania 37 before the COVID-19 pandemic forced it to be relocated. ## It should be noted that this will be the first WrestleMania to take place following the retirement of Vince McMahon in July 2022; McMahon had served as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the company since 1982 and created WrestleMania in 1985. ## In the five months since his retirement, WWE has worked on bringing changes and somewhere along the line it has worked with the fans' expectations. With WrestleMania a few months away, WWE is discussing multiple ideas for their top talent. ## According to Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the company has already started discussing multiple ideas for top talent regarding WrestleMania 39 next year. ## "Regarding stories that the WrestleMania card is finalized we are told that there are multiple ideas for Mania cards in discussion and every top act has multiple different things under discussion right now." ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.
