WOL: Because of the fans

It’s a Saturday edition of Wrestling Observer Radio.

If John Cena’s heel turn is supposedly the greatest in history, why was it done for the most cliche reason in wrestling history?

Because of the fans.

Why ‘because of the fans’ when the actual theme of the feud started as a promise of Hollywood wishes and caviar dreams?

Plus, Ethan Page returns to TNA, AEW Collision preview, a SmackDown review and wrestling doesn’t exist in a bubble. Are outside forces starting to affect WWE business? Check it out.

WWE reveals WrestleMania 41 ticket on-sale date

The ticket on-sale date for WWE WrestleMania 41 is just over one month away.

WWE revealed today that WrestleMania 41 tickets are going on sale to the general public starting at 1 p.m. Eastern time on Friday, October 25. The two-night event is being held at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Saturday, April 19 and Sunday, April 20, 2025. Tickets will be available through Ticketmaster.

The ticket pre-sale begins on Wednesday, October 23. For those interested in pre-sale access, WWE has a mailing list to receive information.

WrestleMania has traditionally been held in early April, but WWE is moving the event back a couple of weeks next year. It will no longer take place on the same weekend as the Final Four of the NCAA March Madness basketball tournament.

This is the first time Las Vegas has hosted WrestleMania since 1993, when WrestleMania IX was held at Caesars Palace. Philadelphia (Pennsylvania), Los Angeles (California), Arlington (Texas), and Tampa (Florida) have been WrestleMania host cities in recent years.

WWE Raw, SmackDown, NXT Stand & Deliver, WWE World (a fan event with Fanatics), and the 2025 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony will also take place in Las Vegas surrounding WrestleMania 41.
