WrestleMania 41 weekend is coming to Las Vegas for what is sure to be one of the most historic shows in company history. Of course, some might see that as nonsensical hyperbole, but this year’s show is going to feature some very special moments. The kind of moments that go down in the history books.
WrestleMania 41 marks the first time in 32 years that the event is being held in Sin City. WWE last came to Las Vegas for WrestleMania 9 in 1993, which is highly regarded as one of the worst ever. The evening is headlined by Yokozuna versus Bret Hart, where Yokozuna took advantage for a cheap victory. Hulk Hogan then returned and won the title in an impromptu title that bordered on cartoonish

WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas to take place over Easter weekend
This is also the first time in company history that WrestleMania is taking place on Easter weekend. The expected benefit is they will have little other competition and make headlines for its bold move during the holiday. Easter is also a slow economic time for the city, which is why the massive tourism boost will be helpful.
According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer “Vegas wanted it because they wanted them in when it traditionally is not a good weekend for tourism. That’s the reason they wanted them in because they wanted them in on a weekend that’s not good for tourism. So they’ll have a great weekend because lots of people are going to come in. So that was the reason that it was that weekend”
WrestleMania 41 tickets are going to hit some WWE fans hard
The downside is WWE is raising ticket prices to make up for the slow holiday weekend. This is why WrestleMania 41 tickets are anywhere from $840 to $78,232. Breaking things down further, two-day tickets are between $811 and $78,232. For those wanting single-day tickets, those are $335 to $25, 645 for night one and $318 to $428,870 for night two. The WWE needs to make up for all the money they invested into hosting this show in Las Vegas and it’s coming at the expense of the fans.

Some don’t want to shell out 300-800 just for one night of WrestleMania 41 and that’s ok. That’s why WWE has other events throughout the weekend to help make sure everyone can take part. One example is Friday Night Smackdown at T-Mobile Arena, where fans can get in for anywhere from $104 for upper bowl seats and around $300 for floor seats.
Then there is NXT Stand and Deliver at T-Mobile Arena on Saturday morning at 930 AM. This is a premium live event, meaning that WWE will have a lot extra planned for the show. Tickets for the show go for $38 to $142 for floor seats.

You can see anything from a WrestleMania rematch to an exciting new twist that changes the entire wrestling landscape. Tickets are available for between $167 for upper bowl tickets and $400 for the floor seats.
John Cena has a chance to make history at WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas
Another thing that makes this showcase of the immortals so historic is that it will be John Cena’s final WrestleMania. This is a man who spent 20 + years as WWE’s franchise player and brought the company to new heights along the way. He is a 16-time world champion who is more ready than ever to take back his throne. He has headlined several WrestleMania’s, starred in countless movies, and holds wins over WWE’s best. Now he is looking to go out on top with the title on his waist.
If John Cena wins the title from Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41, he will be a 17-time world champion. A number that puts him ahead of Ric Flair on the all-time title list and breaks a record that has stood for decades. He is also a heel for the first time in 23 years while aligning himself with The Rock. History is going to be made either way in this scenario, it’s just a matter of how.

Or maybe even Charlotte Flair versus Tiffany Stratton for the Women’s title They might even do Iyo Sky versus Bianca Belair for the Raw Women’s title.
There are also rumors that CM Punk versus Roman Reigns versus Seth Rollins may be the main event. The match is now seemingly official following an intense segment between the three on Smackdown.
