Tampa Rumored To Host WM38
The WrestleMania ship may have sailed away from Tampa Bay this past weekend, but it maybe turning the masts back that way in 2022.
According to WrestleVotes, Tampa Bay looks to be on the shortlist for the WrestleMania 38 location.
Now that the weekend that “was to be” has passed, I can say that Tampa Bay will be in the running to host #Wrestlemania 38 in 2022.
All the initial legwork is obviously done, with the city still very much eager to host the event. Might be a shoe in. Time will tell.
