1/25 Total Divas Viewership Against the Royal Rumble, WWE Removing the Numbers from WrestleMania Branding?

1/25 Total Divas Viewership

 WrestleMania Branding Changing?

There has been some speculation recently that WWE may be getting rid of the numbers in the annual WrestleMania branding. The logo for WrestleMania 31 features a “Play” button instead of a number, as Vince McMahon praised the tech prowess of the Silicon Valley in his 2013 press conference. The WrestleMania 31 logo features a blue star, reminiscent of the Dallas Cowboys. 

In the Tuesday broadcast of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted that it’s likely this kind of branding for ‘Mania will continue, as McMahon feels the number system now makes the company’s annual spectacle feel old. While the logos may not feature the corresponding number going forward, in a practical sense nothing really changes. WrestleMania 31 is obviously still “WRESTLEMANIA 31” regardless of what the logo says.
