With this past weekend’s NFL Super Bowl LV taking place from the same Raymond James Stadium venue that will house WrestleMania 37, WWE representatives were reportedly present at the Super Bowl to see how the event went off.

From the ever-reliable @WrestleVotes, WWE officials were in the Tampa Bay area for Super Bowl weekend in order to monitor the event and to establish how Vince McMahon’s sports entertainment juggernaut can pull off the two-day WrestleMania 37 as safely as possible.

This is one of the reasons why tickets have yet to go on sale for this year’s Showcase of the Immortals spectacular, as the planning process for WrestleMania 37 needs to be as considered and precise as absolutely possible.

Much like Super Bowl LV, WrestleMania 37 is believed to have approximately 25,000 fans in attendance for each of its two days. After the Super Bowl looked visually stunning with its 65,000 capacity fleshed out by cutouts of fans, WWE is now discussing whether to follow the NFL’s lead and use a similar method to make the venue look more packed out.

WrestleMania 37 will take place on 10 and 11 April, with two rumoured matches for the PPV being men’s Royal Rumble winner Edge challenging Universal Champion Roman Reigns, and women’s Rumble victor Bianca Belair facing SmackDown Women’s Champion Sasha Banks.
