WrestleMania week is rolling in Las Vegas, but behind the scenes, WWE talent are already dealing with a major problem — fans swarming the company hotel.
According to PWInsider, there was no extra security added at the WWE hotel on Wednesday night beyond the normal hotel staff. That became an issue fast, especially since the hotel is connected to a large casino, making it nearly impossible to control who walks in and out.
Fans quickly filled the lobby area and reportedly camped near elevators, waiting for WWE talent to appear. Once wrestlers showed up, the situation got chaotic.
Talent weren’t just greeted — they were surrounded. Large crowds gathered around wrestlers the moment they stepped off elevators, asking for photos and autographs. The situation wasn’t limited to top stars either, as referees and other staff members were also approached and mobbed by fans.
The issues didn’t stop inside the hotel. Events and appearances across Las Vegas during WrestleMania week have also reportedly been overwhelmed, with some venues struggling to manage the number of fans showing up.
With WrestleMania 42 festivities continuing across the city, talent are now hoping WWE takes action quickly to tighten security — especially around elevators and high-traffic areas inside the hotel.
Changes could happen as soon as tonight, but the situation has already raised concerns about how talent are being protected during one of WWE’s biggest weeks of the year.
Do you think WWE needs to step up hotel security during WrestleMania weekend, or is this just part of the chaos that comes with an event this big? Let us know your thoughts..
