Report: WWE closing deal to bring WrestleMania, Royal Rumble, SummerSlam to Indianapolis

WWE is close to announcing a multi-year deal that would bring three of its signature events to Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, according to a report.

WrestleVotes reports that WWE and the Indiana Sports Corp are close to an agreement that would bring a future WrestleMania, a future SummerSlam, and the 2025 Royal Rumble to Indiana as part of a multi-year agreement. From WrestleVotes:

“WrestleVotes Exclusive: I’m told WWE & the Indiana Sports Corp are nearing a multi-event deal, starting with the 2025 Royal Rumble at Lucas Oil Stadium on Saturday, February 1st, 2025. In addition, the deal is likely to include a future WrestleMania & SummerSlam, which would both take place at Lucas Oil Stadium.“

WWE has already announced Las Vegas as the host city for WrestleMania in 2025, with Minneapolis set to host the first two-night SummerSlam next year.

Indianapolis last hosted WrestleMania 8 in 1992, and hosted SummerSlam in 2008. The state has never hosted a Royal Rumble event.

Lucas Oil Stadium is the home of the NFL’s Indianapolis Colts since opening in 2008. The venue has hosted the NCAA Final Four, a Super Bowl, and a College Football Playoff National Championship game in the past.
