WWE and the Indiana Sports Corp. announced a first-of-its-kind agreement last week that will bring three of pro wrestling’s top events to Lucas Oil Stadium over the next eight years.

The deal means Indianapolis will host “Royal Rumble” on Feb. 1, 2025, and then “WrestleMania” and “SummerSlam” in the years after.

This week on the podcast, we’re giving host Mason King a break and turning the podcast microphone over to IBJ arts reporter Dave Lindquist. His guest is our own Mickey Shuey, who—among other things—covers tourism and the business of sports for IBJ.

Shuey has the latest on the WWE deal—including the history that led to the impactful agreement.
