WWE and Indiana Sports Corp on verge of announcing mutli-event PLE deal

The often-reliable @WrestleVotes X account is reporting that WWE and Indiana Sports Corp are in the final stages to bring the 2025 Royal Rumble and a future WrestleMania and SummerSlam to the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

The 2025 Royal Rumble proposed date is February 1 and that would make it the first-ever Royal Rumble in the month of February.

The city of Indianapolis has not hosted a WrestleMania since WrestleMania 8 in 1992 at the Hoosier Dome, an event remembered for Macho Man Randy Savage winning the WWF title from Ric Flair and The Ultimate Warrior returning to save Hulk Hogan from Sid and Papa Shango.

Indianapolis also hosted SummerSlam in 2008 but has not held a Royal Rumble.

If this turns out to be happening it means that the city is coughing up probably millions of dollars as a site fee for each event, something that WWE is working on to get for every premium live event they have.
