Mayor John Cooper and the Tennessee Titans delivered draft terms for a proposed enclosed stadium to the Nashville Council in October. When the draft was delivered, talks reportedly got stronger between WWE and the city. Spyridon received a verbal commitment from WWE to host the 2027 WrestleMania with the provision the stadium is built.

“The minute the mayor’s office and the Titans released the stadium term sheet, we started looking for opportunities," Spyridon said. "WWE had an incredible experience at Nissan Stadium this past summer, and we started talking. WrestleMania is considered the No. 6 top sports event brand in the world, and we are grateful for their confidence and belief in Nashville."

WWE released the following statement on the matter:

“Nashville has exploded as a cultural center in the United States and as the land of opportunity. WWE looks forward to hosting many events in partnership with the great city of Nashville at the proposed enclosed stadium.”

As of now, WWE has not officially confirmed Nashville will host WrestleMania 43.

WrestleMania 39 will take place at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles and WrestleMania 40 will take place from Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. Sites beyond 2024 have not been announced.
