World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) has set an on-sale date for WrestleMania 41, which will take place April 19-20 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

According to a WWE news release, individual event tickets will be available starting 9 a.m. PT Friday, Jan. 24 at Ticketmaster. A presale will begin 9 a.m. PT Wednesday, Jan. 22. The event will also air on pay-per-view and stream on Peacock.

Though no matches have been announced yet, they are currently expected to be Cody Rhodes vs. John Cena (Undisputed WWE Championship), Bron Breakker vs. Sheamus (Intercontinental Championship) and Rhea Ripley vs. Iyo Sky (Women’s World Championship).

“Over the last four decades, WrestleMania has evolved from a made-for-television spectacle to a cultural phenomenon complete with stadium and arena events, fan festivities and premium experiences,” WWE wrote in the release. “In addition to the two-night stadium event, WWE will bring Raw, SmackDown, NXT Stand & Deliver, WWE World (with Fanatics) and the 2025 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony to Las Vegas, as well as a variety of local outreach events designed to give back to the Las Vegas community.”

According to WWE, WrestleMania XL in April was the most-viewed and highest-grossing event in company history, breaking the previous gate record set by WrestleMania 39 by 78%, with 145,298 in attendance over two nights at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field.

Wrestling With the Past

April’s event will be only the second WrestleMania staged in Las Vegas. The first was WrestleMania IX on April 4, 1993.

One likely reason WWF (WWE’s name prior to 2002) didn’t return to Vegas for more than 30 years is that it didn’t go so well the first time. WrestleMania IX, held at the Caesars Palace Grand Garden — really just the Caesars Palace parking lot — is considered one of the weaker entries in the series.

After Yokozuna defeated Bret Hart for the WWF Championship in the main event, it was decided that he should immediately fight Hulk Hogan in an unadvertised match. While this gave Hogan back the title for what would be the last time, in the moment, the abrupt booking change mostly disappointed WWF fans.

In addition, the broadcast was marred by audio issues that rendered much of the commentary inaudible.

Finally, the event didn’t sell out. While 16,891 attended, 18K tickets were available, so more than 1,000 couldn’t be given away. And thousands were no doubt already given away to casino VIPs, high-rollers, WWF personnel, members of the media and contest winners.
