Backstage Update On WrestleMania 32 Plans For The Rock, WWE Network Expansion, WWE Attendance
- WWE is now looking at doing Triple H vs. The Rock at WrestleMania 32 next year. This would go along with the Stephanie McMahon vs. Ronda Rousey singles match, if they are able to work it out with UFC. The SmackDown angle between The Rock and Triple H they did in 2014 was done with the idea that the two rivals would face each other at either WrestleMania 31 or 32. The Rock vs. Brock Lesnar had been rumored for WrestleMania 32 but it looks like WWE has nixed that idea.
- WWE is looking at expanding the WWE Network into India, China, Japan, Germany, Thailand and Malaysia next.
- Below are recent WWE attendance figures:
* April 2nd in Tampa, FL for NXT drew around 225 fans
* April 3rd in Palatka, FL for NXT drew around 150 fans
* April 4th in Orlando for NXT drew around 350 fans
* April 6th in Austin, TX for RAW drew 6,000 fans
* April 7th in Dallas for SmackDown drew 9,500 fans
