Did You See Who Showed Up to WrestleMania 40?
According to the Inquirer, WWE’s chief content officer called this year’s event in Philadelphia “the biggest WrestleMania of all time.” More than 145,000 people came to Lincoln Financial Field over two days to set a record for attendance. Hype was huge in Philly, but the WWE reports this event pulled fans from all 50 states and 64 countries.
And the term “fans” ranged from kids to adults to local and national celebrities. Jason Kelce, Swoop, Snoop Dawg, and more took to the stage to help usher in the mania of the WWE.
