WWE Officially Confirms Date And Location For WrestleMania 35

WWE has now officially confirmed that WrestleMania 35 will take place on April 7, 2019, and that the event will also take place from MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

It had been previously rumored that WrestleMania 35 would take place there, and it was also announced on Thursday by the "Giants Wire" Twitter page that an announcement for a "major event" at MetLife Stadium would soon be forthcoming. NYPost.com would later report that WrestleMania 35 would indeed be happening at MetLife Stadium.

A press conference to officially announce the event is scheduled to take place sometime today.

The last time MetLife Stadium hosted a WrestleMania event was 2013's WrestleMania 29, in which the main event featured The Rock defending the WWE Championship against John Cena. Cena would go on to win both the match and the title.

Below is WWE's official announcement regarding WrestleMania 35's date and location, courtesy of WWE.com:

"As first reported on nypost.com, the New York-New Jersey area will once again play host to The Showcase of the Immortals when WrestleMania 35 descends on MetLife Stadium on April 7, 2019.

The last time The Show of Shows came to MetLife was WrestleMania 29, an event held in April 2013 that grossed an excess of $72 million and attracted a sold-out crowd of 80,676 fans from all 50 states and 34 countries. The incredible event featured WWE Champion The Rock going head-to-head against John Cena, Triple H battling Brock Lesnar in a No Holds Barred Match, The Undertaker taking on CM Punk, and WWE Tag Team Champions Team Hell No clashing with Dolph Ziggler & Big E.

Another big part of WrestleMania Week will be the 2019 WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, NXT TakeOver, Monday Night Raw and SmackDown LIVE, all of which will take place at Brooklyn's Barclays Center.

WrestleMania 35 has strong potential to be bigger than ever, with ticket and special Travel Packages becoming available later this year. Prepare yourself as The Grandest Stage of Them All returns to New York-New Jersey on April 2019."
