"We look forward to bringing WWE's biggest event, WrestleMania, to Las Vegas and Allegiant Stadium so we can collectively make WrestleMania 41 on April 19 and 20, 2025 the most successful WWE event of all time."

Philadelphia hosted WrestleMania 40 in April at Lincoln Financial Field and drew over 145,000 fans in attendance across the two-day event. The card consisted of 14 matches, highlighted by The Bloodline—led by The Rock and Roman Reigns—defeating Cody Rhoades and Seth Rollins in a tag-team match. Philadelphia Eagles offensive linemen Jason Kelce and Lane Johnson also made a surprise appearance at the event.

WWE also announced that Raw, SmackDown, NXT Stand & Deliver, the WWE World fan event and the 2025 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony come to Las Vegas along with the two-day event.

Las Vegas last hosted WrestleMania IX in April 1993 at Caesars Palace.

Peacock Will Increase Subscription Prices Again Ahead of the Paris Olympics

Peacock is getting a price hike, as Comcast is going to increase the price of subscriptions for its streaming app by two dollars ahead of the Paris Olympics. It will mark the second time the streamer's cost will go up in a year. It will now cost $7.99 for the version with ads and $13.99 for the ad-free version.

Peacock originally launched in 2020 at just $4.99 per month, and it was $9.99 per month as recently as last spring. Not long after it was announced that the streamer would carry the first online exclusive NFL playoff game, they raised the prices to $5.99 and $11.99. People complained, but the experiment was deemed a success as 23 million people tuned in to watch.

Now they're doing the same thing ahead of the Olympics, which begin on July 26 and run through Aug. 11. The plan is to make every event available to stream live and on-demand and fans will have the ability to watch up to four events at once. NBC has the broadcast rights for the Olympics through 2032.

Peacock is clearly using sports as the main selling point of their streaming service with NFL, Olympics and even WWE, but it's also their excuse to raise prices. How else do you expect them to pay for something like the Philadelphia Eagles' season-opener in Mexico or the Olympic broadcast rights which they currently have through 2032?

If you do end up subscribing to Peacock because of live sports make sure to get your money's worth by checking out shows like Poker Face, Mrs. Davis, Twisted Metal, Paul T. Goldman and The Traitors. Just don't tell anyone because they might raise the prices again.
