As we approach the commencement of the Road to WrestleMania with the 2024 Royal Rumble, an intriguing development is unfolding regarding the final destination on this path: the Raw after WrestleMania 40.
Renowned for being one of the most exhilarating shows of the year, the Raw after ‘Mania typically boasts surprise returns, debuts, and NXT call-ups—hallmarks of WWE’s entertainment formula.
While the show doesn’t always meet expectations, there’s a palpable sense that WWE is gearing up for an especially memorable spectacle on April 8, as hinted by recently divulged details about the event’s seating and staging.
According to the reports, the Wells Fargo Center is currently configured to host a total of 16,909 fans, with 15,905 tickets already distributed as of the time of this writing.
Adding an interesting twist is a separate note from reports, revealing WWE’s decision to eschew the traditional stage setup for the Raw after ‘Mania. This move, typically reserved for venues hosting Premium Live Events, allows for expanded seating capacity and, consequently, higher ticket sales—a strategic choice considering the perennially high demand for the show.
WWE’s prior visit to the Wells Fargo Center was on January 23, 2023, for the special 30th anniversary of Raw, which turned out to be a sold-out event with a total attendance of 14,451.
