On May 5, 2024, WWE will announce the most-awaited detail following the Kentucky Derby pre-race event. For the longest time, Minnesota has been the most likely choice. On the other hand, there have been talks of a possible move to Las Vegas, Nevada. In addition, the show may take place in May for the first time since higher-ups in WWE have reportedly been pushing for the event to occur somewhere not too cold or indoors because they weren’t satisfied with the weather in this year’s WrestleMania 40 in Philadelphia in April.
Back in 2021, WWE declared the venue(Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada) for the SummerSlam Premium Live Event during the Belmont Stakes pre-show race. The moment recreation brought excitement in the WWE community however, as usual, the internet is split over the news release. Later today, all the speculations and murmurs will be silenced at the 150th Kentucky Derby which is a 1 1/4 miles long race exclusively for 3-year-old horses. But how contained is the excitement in the WWE universe?
Fans divided over location hints

But there was an early hint from WWE star Triple H that a surprise release will occur soon, with a focus on Las Vegas. Though Las Vegas is gaining more and more support, Minneapolis is still a chance to host. Commenting on the announcement drop on X, a Minnesota supported chimed in and said, “Minnesota got robbed again”
