Okay so where would you like to see WWE run a PPV at that they never have before? SummerSlam: PNC Park (Pittsburgh, PA)/Capacity: 38,000. The view here would be incredible with the city backdrop, and the stadium itself is very intimate and feels like you're always ontop of the action. Plus, Pittsburgh is a pretty good wrestling crowd and other cities like Cleveland, Youngstown, and others in the tri state make it a very easy drive, so it wouldn't be hard to sell out. WrestleMania: Wembley Stadium (London, UK) Capacity: 90,000 Ok, I am sure most overseas want to see this, but I think it would be dumb for WWE not to try WrestleMania there. Its a sure sell out, crazy and passionate fans, and would be an all out spectacle. But the hurdle for some reason is the TV time difference. I understand that WWE likes their shows to go on at 7pm, but I am sure that if you hold the event in London at 8pm and it starts here 3pm EST and 12pm PT there would be very few complaints. Honestly, I'd much rather be done with wrestling at 7-8pm at night, than struggling to stay awake at 11pm, thats just me though. For anyone trying to defend the timezone argument, the NFL runs crappy teams out there that go live stateside at 9am and people watch. This should not be an issue. Where would you guys like to see WWE put on a PPV

I'd like to see one of the big four at Wembley Stadium again. Also it's nice to see that you are understanding with the time difference, us UK fans have to stay up till 4am for RAW/PPVs 😑 A midnight finish would be great lol.
And just out of curiosity, have WWE held many PPVs at baseball fields? I think WrestleMania XIX is the only one I'm aware of.

Again I hope they realize that it wouldn't be a bad idea to have a UK PPV. I mean I'd be ecstatic if Mania started 3pm in the USA and then ended at 7:00-7:30pm. I know you guys get the shaft with the PPV times, but it is hard to watch a PPV from 5pm(preshow)-11pm without sleeping or losing interest. They used too before production value became important (The Big Event, WrestleFest, etc...) I think it would be awesome if they did SummerSlam in baseball stadiums because it would give that "summer party" vibe. Yankee Stadium, PNC Park, Dodger Stadium would all be amazing places to hold shows at. The baseball stadiums have summer concerts there, so I can imagine if WWE worked something out schedule wise, it would be rather easy to get it done.

Granted it wasn't a PPV but Exhibition Stadium (the former home to the Toronto Blue Jays) hosted the Big Event in 1986. Additionally, the Showdown at Shea events. For PPV's The Astrodome, Skydome, and Safeco Field all count as baseball stadiums. Granted, the Astrodome was a joint MLB-NFL stadium, it does count as a baseball stadium. Same with what is now Hard Rock Stadium where the Florida (now Miami) Marlins used to play at. The Skydome and Safeco Field are the only true baseball-first stadiums the WWE has ever held a PPV at.

I'd just love to see WM return to MSG for every tenth WM. Which obviously won't happen, but, it'd be nice.

I'd love to see Summerslam at PNC Park. I don't think anybody can appreciate the vision of how awesome the views and production value would be, until they visit the stadium themselves. I may be a tad biased, but it definitely is the best stadium I have ever been too. Intimacy, cleanliness, views, sightlines, ease of access, it has it all.

This would never happen, but having a Royal Rumble at the ECW arena in NYC would be an amazing atmosphere.

Hell, they can call it NXT Takes Manhattan. Similar to one of the Friday The 13th movies. WrestleMania at the Linc in Philly. I second this. I can already see the logo being that of the Liberty Bell. After following the construction of Mercedes Benz Stadium and seeing what the near finished stadium looks like, the WWE would have a field day in there.

I think it's pretty good odds that Philly gets another one before they reach WM 40. They'd be fools not to have it here again. Philly is the epicenter of wrestling

Top of the list for me is a potential SummerSlam in Yankee Stadium (ruling out WrestleMania since they're finicky about the weather, heated ring or not). It's known that former owner George Steinbrenner was a pro wrestling fan; it'd be nice to host an event at his palace...though it's a shame he won't be able to see it.
Others venues I'm looking forward to seeing them host an event are Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, City of Champions Stadium in LA/Inglewood, (hopefully Lincoln Financial Field in Philly in March/April 2019...and by gawd, they have to come back to MSG for a PPV...ANY PPV!

Well, KeyArena in Seattle is rumored to be getting WWE Backlash on Sunday, September 10th, 2017 as I expect the WWE to make an announcement during tomorrow's SmackDown.

If they ever do have WM here in Philly again, it'd be cool to have the NXT Takeover at the ECW Arena. The place looks really nice now compared to years ago and rumors are they want to expand it.

I would like to see Wrestlemania held at FedEx Field in Maryland. The stadium can hold up to 82,000 people, and would give Maryland it's first Wrestlemania ever.
