Establishments in the Las Vegas area may face a blackout for the upcoming WrestleMania pay-per-view. Fightful reports that the distributor for the event has informed venues within a 50-mile radius of the stadium that they will not be permitted to license and broadcast the show.
The protocol is reportedly designed to drive ticket sales for the two-night event at Allegiant Stadium. While WWE did not comment on the situation, sources indicated to Fightful that while smaller operations might attempt to bypass the rule, it could negatively impact local businesses that rely on combat sports broadcasts, particularly given the strong UFC market in the city.
