On the latest episode of Something To Wrestle With, JBL talked about the tease surrounding WrestleMania 44’s location from WWE President Nick Khan. It has been reported that Nashville is bidding for the 2028 iteration of the PLE. You can check out some highlights below:
On the Location For the Show:
“I don’t know. I’m interested. He really teased where they’re going to be for that WrestleMania. It’s somethign that — and no offense to Nashville, I love Nashville. I think it’s something bigger than Nashville. I think it’s an overseas — it seems like an overseas thing. And if it is, I think you gotta look at the big cities. I think you gotta look at London, think you gotta look at Tokyo, and you gotta look at something like Sydney, I think would be the ones to me. But it might be something like Mumbai.”
On WWE Running Las Vegas Two Straight Years:
“I think there was travel fatigue in Vegas. I was out there for five or six days. I talked to a lot of fans. I think it was the destination. I’m not trying to make excuses for WWE, but it is expensive in Vegas. The food is expensive, the difference in Vegas now than it was 20 years ago, when they made most of their money off gambling.”
On Going Overseas:
“You go overseas — I mean, you get something like Sydney or London or Berlin or Mumbai? I think that they’re going to sell — whatever you put this in, they’re gonna sell it out.”
