WrestleMania 37 will feature a pair of hosts.

WWE announced today that Hulk Hogan and Titus O'Neil will host WrestleMania 37. The two-night event is taking place at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida on Saturday, April 10 and Sunday, April 11.

Hogan is a member of the WWE Hall of Fame, while O'Neil is part of the current roster and is also an ambassador for the company.

Hogan previously hosted WrestleMania 30 in 2014. Other past WrestleMania hosts have included NFL star Rob Gronkowski, Alexa Bliss, The New Day, and The Rock. Gronkowski was the host of WrestleMania 36 last year, with O'Neil taking over for him during night two after Gronkowski won the 24/7 Championship.

O'Neil lives in Tampa and is known for doing charitable work in the community.

Hogan was also the host of 2018's Crown Jewel event in Saudi Arabia, with that being Hogan's first appearance on WWE television since being fired from the company in 2015 when racist language that he had used eight years earlier was made public.

After a pre-sale began yesterday, WrestleMania 37 tickets officially went on sale today. Roman Reigns vs. Edge for the Universal Championship, Sasha Banks vs. Bianca Belair for the SmackDown Women's Championship, Bobby Lashley vs. Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship, and The New Day (Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods) vs. AJ Styles & Omos for the Raw Tag team titles have been announced for the event.

A larger-than-life icon and a pop culture phenomenon, Hulk Hogan is one of the biggest names in WWE history. On Jan. 23, 1984, 'Hulkamania' was officially born when he defeated The Iron Sheik to become WWE Champion at Madison Square Garden. He headlined WrestleMania III, where he successfully defended the WWE Championship against Andre The Giant in front of a record 93,173 fans at the Pontiac Silverdome. Hogan went on to win six WWE Championships, starred in movies, television shows and became an idol to a vast legion of fans he dubbed 'Hulkamaniacs.' He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2005 by Hollywood legend Sylvester Stallone, and this year will become a two-time Hall of Fame inductee as The nWo, one of sports entertainment’s most notorious factions, is enshrined.

Titus O’Neil is one of the most philanthropic Superstars in WWE history and a former WWE Tag Team and 24/7 Champion. A fixture in the Tampa Bay community and passionate about giving back to families in need, O’Neil founded The Bullard Family Foundation, an organization that provides families and children in need with special moments, programs, and resources to help build character, develop relationships, and strengthen communities around them. In addition, O’Neil is an Ambassador for WWE, helping thousands of individuals through various nonprofits and WWE partners including Susan G. Komen, Boys & Girls Clubs of America and Special Olympics. His passion for community and uplifting others inspired him to write his first book, 'There’s No Such Thing as a Bad Kid: How I Went from Stereotype to Prototype' in 2019. O’Neil is a Tampa Bay native and graduated from the University of Florida where he was a standout football player for the Gators.
