The stage is near completion before the PLE this weekend.
A new major update regarding the massive stage for WrestleMania 42 is out. The PLE, which will emanate as a two-night spectacle from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on April 18 and 19, carries massive anticipation among fans.
The set build started on April 13 due to the venue being occupied earlier for a show, giving the production crew just six days to complete one of the most elaborate stages as WWE gears up for the ‘Grandest Stage.’
WWE takes over Allegiant Stadium for WrestleMania 42
The new update for the WrestleMania 42 stage features the entire arena, where the main entrance stage is being built on the right side, with a large LED wall and ramp extending toward the ring area.
The central pillar structure (with multiple screens on all sides) is likely part of the main visual centerpiece, used for promos, entrances, and crowd visibility. The screens are currently showing test patterns. The seating in front of the stage and above the entrance ramp is also visible.
Additionally, the ring setup is still underway, along with the seating arrangements, while the 360 screen, along with lights above the ring, is installed. Usual equipment like boom lifts and cranes is visible, as the construction continues.
