WrestleMania 26 Location & WWE Releases Manu

News

WrestleMania 26 will be held on the 28th March 2010 at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. WWE is expected to make an announcement tomorrow in a press conference at the stadium alongside Elaine Scruggs, the Mayor of Glendale. The stadium hosted Superbowl XLII last year and has a maximum capacity of 73,000.

Phoenix has been trying to get the event for some time now. Over a year ago there were photos in a local newspaper of Wayne Gretzky wearing a WrestleMania 2010 shirt. The discussions between Glendale and WWE have apparently been going on for a while now, as during a Raw taping in Philadelphia in October 2007 footage was filmed of some fans outside the arena holding a “WrestleMania is going to Rock the Desert” sign.

Manu, a.k.a. Afa Anoai Jr, was released by WWE today. The decision does not come as a surprise.
