Stephanie McMahon Says WWE Plans To Have Live Audience At WrestleMania 37

WWE hasn’t had a live audience since March … but that’s about to change, as Stephanie McMahon tell TMZ Sports WWE is planning to have fans attending WrestleMania 37 !!

McMahon joined the “TMZ Sports” TV Show (airs nightly on FS1) … where she announced WWE firing to have an audience at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa at WM on April 10-11.

“I’m thrilled and excited because hopefully this will be the first opportunity for us to have our fans back,” said McMahon.

“This is the current plan. Of course, the ticket information is not yet available as we are still trying to figure out all the machinations.”

McMahon tells us that WWE is keeping an eye on the Super Bowl (February 7, also at RJS in Tampa) … for advice on how to make sure the massive event goes off without a hitch.

“We will learn a lot from [the NFL] logistically, etc., and really best practices, what works, what doesn’t. But man, we can’t wait to get in and for 2 nights, really rock that pirate ship.

FYI, it’s been 316 days (Monday Night Raw, March 9) since the wrestling organization had live fans in the building.

Still, plans may change … and McMahon stressed that WWE’s top priority is the health of everyone involved.

“Together with the local organizing committee, all those responsible for health, health and safety are first and foremost, of course,” says Stephanie.

“For our fans, for our artists, for the employees, for the staff working in the building, there is a lot of different logistics to be worked out, but hopefully everything will work out, and this will be the first WWE event where we let’s bring the WWE Universe together in person, and I can’t wait. “

As for the exact number of fans they plan to admit … Stephanie says WWE has a plan, but isn’t ready to reveal the number just yet.

For comparison, WWE had around 100,000 fans at WM 33 at AT&T Stadium in 2016 (WWE is returning to Texas for WM 38).

Obviously, the number will be much smaller in April. But, in the end … the humans will be there!

There is more … we also spoke to Stéphanie about Rob gronkowski AND Tom brady.

Gronk is the former 24/7 Champion – and host of last year’s Mania – so we asked McMahon if a cameo from Rob and his teammate GOAT QB was in the cards.
