Shapiro states that he cannot give away too much.
WWE is a month out from WrestleMania 41 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The company’s biggest show of their calendar year was discussed by Mark Shapiro, President and C.O.O. of WWE’s parent company, TKO Group Holdings.
Shapiro was interviewed at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media & Telecom Conference and was asked about John Cena’s heel turn at Elimination Chamber. He praised Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque and his creative team.
Shapiro added that people are going to be amazed at the surprises at WrestleMania 41. He said he cannot give away anymore than that and joked that if he did, someone from Levesque’s team would be on his case about it.
I’ll tell you this though, when you’re front page on the ESPN app, you’re above the fold and that video of The Rock and (John) Cena and Cody (Rhodes), you’re now making more of a cultural impact than you have historically. Especially when it’s a competitor that carries the events so I was excited to see that… Paul (Levesque) and his creative team are second to none… You’ll be amazed at the surprises that are about to come your way at WrestleMania in Las Vegas.
WrestleMania, I can’t give away any plotlines. I wouldn’t make it off this stage. Somebody from Paul’s team would be here to knock me out. But, it’s gonna be very exciting. I mean, Vegas is gonna be incredible. The whole weekend is just gonna be a spectacle. In the same way or the same vein the Sphere was a spectacle for the UFC and 306. It’s gonna be a great story for us and always a great time to be negotiating new deals.
As of this writing, the lineups for WrestleMania 41 on April 19th and 20th are listed as follows:
- Undisputed WWE Championship: Cody Rhodes (c) vs. John Cena
- WWE Women’s Championship: Tiffany Stratton (c) vs. Charlotte Flair
