"That will get lost" - Diamond Dallas Page shares his opinions on WrestleMania 38 being a two-night event (Exclusive)
Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page recently spoke about how he felt when WWE announced that WrestleMania 38 would be a two-night affair.
The Show of Shows is set to emanate from the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX, on April 2 and April 3. The event is billed as "The Most Stupendous Two-Night Event in WrestleMania History."
Diamond Dallas Page was on this week's episode of the Bro Show alongside former WWE writer Vince Russo. There, the former mentioned that he did not understand why WWE is still sticking to the two-night concept for Mania now that COVID-19 is not a factor.
He suggested that it would be interesting to see if WWE reverts to its typical one-night format for WrestleMania next year.
"I get it when you were having COVID. But now, I don't get it. It will be interesting to see if they do it next year. Because if it's successful, you know they're doing to do it again. But if it's not, that will get lost," DDP said. (from 6:27 onwards)
