While the Raymond James Stadium will host WrestleMania, the Amalie Arena will be hosting all the other weekend WWE live events.
The Amalie Arena, which is located around 5 miles away from the Raymond James Stadium, can fit around 20,000 fans while the stadium sits just over 65,000 fans plus it has an additional 10,000 temporary seats for special events.
Next year’s show will have a different order of events though as Smackdown is moving to Friday nights on FOX starting this October. In the press release, WWE is listing four nights of events, rather than five, starting with Smackdown, then the Hall of Fame, NXT Takeover, and Raw. Since Smackdown is on Friday, it’s unclear what goes on Saturday night although most likely it will be NXT.
The Hall of Fame might be a different format starting from next year and could be during the day rather than in the evening. By the looks of it, there will be no events on Tuesday.
WWE has not announced where Axxess will be taking place from but the Tampa Convention Center looks like the ideal location.
