With WWE's decision to move on from Minneapolis as a potential home for Wrestlemania 33 in 2017, PWInsider.com has heard from multiple sources that Orlando, Florida is very high on the list of locations for hosting Wrestlemania in 2017.

Whether a final decision has been made or not is unknown, but there has been a lot of movement of late in regard to working out the potential logistics of bringing the company's flagship event back to the Orlando area.

WWE hosts their Performance Center and WWE NXT tapings regularly in the Orlando area and there has been talk of moving a physical WWE Hall of Fame venue to that market for some time as well.

WWE ran Wrestlemania 24, highlighted by Ric Flair's retirement match against Shawn Michaels and Undertaker vs. Edge for the World title at the Citrus Bowl in March 2008.

One year they'll pick London.

I'm hoping that Triple H's Takeover experiment helps convince them that doing a PPV in the UK is completely viable.

I know there's a time difference but with the correct amount of notice, it would just be a daytime went for the US for one year in every 10-15.

Yes. Which is why it makes perfect sense to do it, because you wouldn't have to do the show on time-delay for US PPVs.

WHen I watched Metallica and many other gods of metal at Wembley Stadium, it was filled with 90,000 mad metal heads.

90,000 Mad for It British fans at a Wrestlemania with a whole weekend in London (like they do with the NFL now twice a year) would be huge. Massive in fact.
