WWE wrestlers and fans have descended on Las Vegas for WrestleMania, but some talent have expressed concerns about the lack of additional security at their hotel, which is attached to a large casino. Reports indicate that the hotel lobby and elevators have been overrun with fans, making it difficult for wrestlers to move around safely. Talent are hoping for more security measures to be put in place to support them as they come and go from the hotel.

Why it matters

The safety and security of WWE talent is a top priority, especially during major events like WrestleMania where fan excitement and crowds can become unmanageable. Inadequate security measures could put wrestlers at risk and disrupt the overall event experience.

The details

According to PWInsider Elite, there was only the standard hotel security present last night, with no extra measures taken despite the hotel being attached to a large casino. This resulted in the lobby and elevator areas becoming 'mobbed' by fans seeking photos and autographs, not just from wrestlers but even referees. Some scheduled wrestler appearances were also said to be 'beyond mobbed' with venues overwhelmed by the crowds.

  • The security concerns were reported on the night before WrestleMania events began.
