5 wrestling rumors we hope are true and 5 we hope aren't: WWE possibly planning to re-hire 2 fired stars after 3 years, John Cena's father says Champion could become a "mid-carder" post-WrestleMania

#3. Hope isn't true: WWE pushing for an extremely large crowd at WrestleMania 37?

WrestleMania 37

WrestleMania 37 will take place at the Raymond James Stadium and will be WWE's first show in front of fans after 13 months. It's a huge occasion, and given that the NFL hosted The SuperBowl at the same venue earlier this year, WWE saw the event as a big source of reference.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the NFL only hosted a limited capacity of 25,000 fans, with the rest being filled up by cardboard cutouts. It was assumed that 25,000 will be the crowd for both days at WrestleMania 37.

While that isn't as large as the usual 70,000+ crowd at WrestleMania, this is understandable. 25,000 fans, to begin with, is a big boost for the WrestleMania show.

However, Dave Meltzer of WON revealed that WWE is pushing to fill 75% of the stadium - which would be 45,000 fans each day.

Sportskeeda's James Sullivan wrote:

In terms of specific numbers, a 75 percent crowd at the Raymond James Stadium, discounting the space required for the stage, wrestling ring, and equipment, is approximately 45,000. Hence, the combined attendance for this year's WrestleMania across Saturday, April 10 and Sunday, April 11 could be approximately 90,000 WWE fans.

We hope this isn't true because even 25,000 fans is a big upgrade from having none. Given that this is WWE's first with fans again, it should start slowly before governments allow the easing of restrictions and eventually, a larger crowd.
