Orlando Drops $29 Million to Bring Back WrestleMania and UFC—Camping World Stadium in the Mix

Orlando is putting serious money on the table to bring WWE and UFC back to town in a massive way—including a pitch to host WrestleMania 2031.

According to Sports Business Journal, the Orange County Commission just approved $29.46 million in tourist development tax sports incentive funds to support five major event bids. The biggest slice? $18 million for the Greater Orlando Sports Commission to “draw four future events from the WWE and UFC — including WrestleMania in 2031.”

That’s right—Orlando’s not just trying to bring back the biggest wrestling weekend of the year, they’re gunning for a full-on takeover. WrestleMania 2031 would be held at Camping World Stadium across two nights in April, with the Kia Center hosting Raw, SmackDown, and other events during WrestleMania Week.

They’re not stopping there. The city’s also eyeing:

• Survivor Series or Saturday Night’s Main Event in late 2026
• A UFC pay-per-view in August or September 2027
• Royal Rumble in February 2028 at Camping World Stadium

Jason Siegel, President & CEO of the Greater Orlando Sports Commission, said the proposed deal “may include about 10 to 12 shows at both the Kia Center and Camping World Stadium,” and confirmed that “WWE is in conversation with roughly two dozen other cities on various events.”

On top of that, another $11 million is being allocated to Florida Citrus Sports to turn Camping World Stadium into a temporary home for the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2027.

Orlando previously hosted WrestleMania XXIV and WrestleMania 33—both at Camping World Stadium—and now they’re looking to run it back bigger than ever.
