WrestleMania is considered WWE's flagship event,[1] and has also been described as the Super Bowl of sports entertainment.

On February 18, 2013, WWE announced that WrestleMania XXX would be held at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in the city of New Orleans on April 6, 2014.The event is alternatively known as WrestleMania 30. On August 12, 'travel packages' for WrestleMania XXX went on sale, which not only included tickets to WrestleMania but also hotel room accommodations and various 'WrestleMania Week' activities such as WrestleMania Axxess, the 2014 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony and the next Raw; the cheapest package cost $795 per person.On November 16, individual tickets went on sale through Ticketmaster, with prices ranging from $25 to $850. While ordering WrestleMania through pay-per-view television costs between $55 - $70, WWE has also made WrestleMania XXX available live through its new WWE Network online streaming service, which costs $9.99 per month with a six-month contract;thus WrestleMania would be the first event available simultaneously on pay-per-view and on the WWE Network.

The event will be the first WrestleMania to be held in the state of Louisiana. There are three official theme songs for the event - "Celebrate" by Kid Rock, "Legacy" by Eminem and "In Time" by Mark Collie. A promotional poster for the event was released through pay-per-view providers such as In Demand, with the tagline laissez les bons temps rouler (let the good times roll).

In late January 2014 after the Royal Rumble event, CM Punk reportedly legitimately walked out on WWE while still under contract and WWE stopped promoting him for future events; which Professional Wrestling Torch editor Wade Keller analysed played a part in Daniel Bryan's WrestleMania journey.

WWE WrestleMania 2014 : Predictions

With WrestleMania 30 but days away, anticipation for WWE's greatest spend-per-see of the 12 months is reaching a fever pitch. While the many twists on the highway to WrestleMania have produced this year's function relatively difficult to forecast, there have been a few rumors circulating in advance of the event this Sunday.

Initial off, Batista shocked everyone in attendance at the WrestleMania press convention when he appeared on stage to encourage his involvement in the title match this weekend and was extremely likeable and entertaining. Remember to observe, this is not some variety of April Fools' gag—Batista was considerably better in the awkward location of a push meeting at the Hard Rock Cafe than he is on Raw.

(Wrestle Zone's Nick Paglino has a recap of the push meeting right here.)

Although no great revelations arrived from the push conference, an job interview with the Bella Twins carried out by Josh Mathews forward of the function seemed to hint at a long term programme amongst Daniel Bryan and John Cena, when Bryan's fiancee, Brie Bella, suggested that Bryan's popularity was much more natural than that of her sister's boyfriend, Cena. This could be anything at all from idle speak to advertising for Total Divas to a hint at the principal occasion of WrestleMania 31, so consider it with a pinch of salt—although it really is difficult to envision Cena not getting a prime contender if Bryan does get the title on Sunday.

Talking at the press conference, Triple H verified that NXT performers would be present for some WrestleMania 7 days protection on the WWE Network.

Will WrestleMania dwell up to the hype?
Sure No Undecided Post Vote vote to see outcomes

Affirmation came very last 7 days that the Tag Team titles would be defended in a four-Way match and that the bout would take area on the two-hour pre-demonstrate, which starts at 5 p.m. ET on Sunday. This would propose that the Andre the Giant Memorial Struggle Royal that was rumored to be relegated to the pre-show, according to F4WOnline (by way of Lords of Soreness), will in simple fact be on the principal card.

Even though the talent involved in the Tag title match will no doubt end result in a quite entertaining pre-demonstrate, it would seem only appropriate that the Fight Royal will consider spot on the pay-for each-see appropriate. If the intention is to get as considerably expertise on the card as achievable for the 30th anniversary, why not do it correctly? In addition to, a fast-paced four-Way tag match is the excellent way to hype up the group at the arena and the viewers at home.

In other Struggle Royal information, in accordance to Cageside Seats, Raw common supervisor Brad Maddox has been announced as a participant in the match. This will be the initial match of 2014 for Maddox. In accordance to WrestlingInc.com, Rob Van Dam is also rumored for the match, which means a pair of spots could nevertheless be left for huge surprises on the night time.

Images of the stage for WrestleMania thirty being created have begun circulating Twitter. Some people consider understanding what the staging seems like to be a spoiler, so it'll continue to be behind this link for these who want to hold out and see it (it shouldn't be also much of a spoiler to say you ought to assume plenty of gold and purple).

Rumors of Sting creating an physical appearance at WrestleMania have as soon as yet again reared their head. In very last week's Wrestling Observer E-newsletter (h/t B/R's Sharon Glencross), Dave Meltzer described that Sting vs. Undertaker is supposed for WrestleMania 31 and that there is some likelihood that that match will be teased properly in advance of time.

Wrestle Zone reported Sting will be in New Orleans generating an physical appearance at WrestleCon this weekend, so it could well be that he may possibly make an visual appeal at possibly WrestleMania itself or Uncooked the subsequent evening to start off a calendar year of buildup to the long-awaited match.

Last but not least, it continues to be to be seen whether or not CM Punk will enjoy any portion in WrestleMania this 12 months. Punk is when again becoming talked about at length right now, both for his evident engagement to AJ Lee—which, in accordance to Wrestle Zone, is true—and in many April Fools' gags pertaining to him generating an visual appeal at WrestleMania.

Apart from interjecting in an already crowded main function, it's tough to see in which Punk would match in on the 'Mania card as a shock appearance. If a match with Triple H wasn't enough for Punk a couple of months in the past, it is very not likely that he'd display his confront in the Battle Royal. That becoming mentioned, at this position, I wouldn't compose something off—from Punk interfering in the main event to him showing his encounter someplace fully unforeseen.
