The Orlando Business Journal is reporting that the Greater
Orlando Sports Commission is looking to get a couple of WWE
and UFC events by giving an $18 million grant.
The proposal includes either Survivor Series or Saturday
Night’s Main Event in November or December in 2026, a UFC
pay-per-view in August or September 2027, the Royal Rumble
in February 2028, and a two-night WrestleMania in April
2031.
The two WWE premium live events would be held at the Camping
World Stadium while the other shows at the Kia Center.
The Tourist Development Tax Sports Incentive Committee
greenly the grant and now has to go for further approval
within the local government.
The Commission wrote that all events would bring
approximately 300,000 visitors in total and more than $225
million in economic impact.
