WWE will no longer be numbering WrestleMania shows. Instead, symbols are being used for WrestleMania 31 and 32 branding. Speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer said the removal of numbers could be "because Vince thinks it makes it sound too old." The change means that WrestleMania 31 will become WrestleMania. To distinguish it, there'll be a 'play' button in the Mania logo, which is meant to represent silicon valley. The show is of course airing just a short drive from Silicon Valley, in Santa Clara's Levi's Stadium on March 29th WrestleMania 32 will take place on April 3rd 2016. The WWE held a press conference last week to confirm that it would be held at the 100,000 capacity Cowboys Stadium in Dallas, Texas. They also revealed the branding, which was in keeping with the decision to do away with numbers. Instead, the branding was the WrestleMania name with a star logo. This clearly reflected the fact that WWE will be in the lone star state for the show. Some fans will be upset at the WWE for dismissing tradition. Other fans will be happy at the progressive step. Regardless of the change, fans and WWE will undoubtedly still use the term "WrestleMania 31" when discussing the specific event this year. Tradition isn't a bad thing and the number system was well established. But then again, it isn't as if fans ever said "Royal Rumble 28" when talking about the other big show that WWE hold in this winter to spring period.
