If the Rumble is coming to Lucas, you would think Mania is also going to Lucas? I wonder if they would attempt an event at the Brickyard. I don't know exactly how you'd make it work for wrestling but it'd be a cool aesthetic.

Indy hosted WrestleMania VIII back in the day. Tickets sold "ok" ... but now with traveling crowds I would expect a much better turnout if the product is still good.

Wow I guess Jan. 25 was too early? First time Rumble has been in Feb.

Looking at the calendar and the first Raw of 2025 is Jan. 6 😬 and that only leaves 3 episodes of Raw before the Rumble. Maybe they wanted 4?

In this package it only lists Lucas Oil so we have to assume all 3 are taking place there until they tell us otherwise

Oh yeah I didn't even factor in the 7 year thing.

Interesting that they say TWO-NIGHT SummerSlam. So it could be sticking around for a while at least. Also NXT events held in Indiana.

Toothpaste is already out of the bottle with getting an additional day's worth of revenue. Like the 3rd hour of RAW, it's here to stay.
