Original story from February 8, 2019:
A while back we let you know Tampa put in a bid to host WrestleMania. It was thought at the time that if it happened, it’d be in 2023, 2024 or 2025. This past August, a survey revealed Tampa was on a short list of potential hosts. Now there are reports that Tampa could host World Wrestling Entertainment’s biggest event of the year as soon as next year.
