-- The bid to host Wrestlemania 31 is heating up. Both Santa Clara, CA & Philadelphia, PA are the top two markets that are competing to host WWE's flagship PPV.

Santa Clara Mayor Jamie Matthews and representatives from the San Francisco 49ers will meet with WWE officials at WWE headquarters next week to attempt to finalize a deal to bring Wrestlemania to their city.

If Santa Clara wins the bid, Wrestlemania 31 will be held at Levi's Stadium, which is currently under construction. If Philadelphia wins, the event would be held outdoors at Lincoln Financial Field.
