Triple H On WrestleMania Going Two Nights Permanently

They may have started a tradition. Earlier this month, WWE presented WrestleMania 36, which is pretty easily the most unique version of the show that the company has ever offered. In addition to the complete lack of fans at the WWE Performance Center, the show took place over the course of two nights. That was a weird situation, but it might not be weird for too much longer.

One of the more common complaints with recent WrestleManias has been the length. The last two editions have featured sixteen matches each and counting the Kickoff Show, a few recent shows have broken seven hours. That is a very long time to watch wrestling, so some sort of change could probably be a good idea. A pretty high up name in WWE might have a solution.

Triple H was a guest on this week’s WWE After The Bell podcast where he spoke about wanting WrestleMania to be a two day event going forward. The idea of WrestleMania is that of a week long festival with events taking place every day, though WrestleMania as the main stage event would take place over two nights. Should this move be made permanent, there is no word on what event would be moved, though Saturday has traditionally been the night for an NXT Takeover.

It was a huge show this year. Check out what happened both nights:

Opinion: This is one of those things where I’ll believe it when I see it. At the end of the day, I’m not sure I can believe that WWE would be able to hold themselves back from making both nights too long. If the event is split up over two nights and stays at about eight hours total, I could see it working. However, I’m not sure I can believe that WWE would be able to show that kind of restraint.
