"In addition to WrestleMania, other events will include Friday Night SmackDown, the 2024 WWE Hall of Fame Ceremony and Monday Night Raw at Wells Fargo Center as well as other fan events at the Pennsylvania Convention Center.

WWE have embarked on a new era after pro wrestling supremo Vince McMahon retired as the company's Chairman, CEO and head of creative after 40 years in charge.

McMahon stepped down after accusations of sexual misconduct and reports he allegedly paid several women millions in hush money between 2006 and 2022.

The American businessman's daughter Stephanie has succeeded him as chairwoman as well as co-CEO and will be in charge along with co-CEO Nick Khan.

The 76-year-old's son-in-law and wrestling legend Triple H has replaced him as head of creative.

And thus Stephanie, Triple H and Khan will be putting together the next two WrestleManias.
