Buckle up, wrestling fans: WrestleMania is coming back to New Jersey.

On Friday morning, WWE will announce that WrestleMania 35 will be held at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford next year, two sources with knowledge of the situation confirmed to NJ Advance Media.

The expected date of the event is April 7, 2019.

The sources asked for anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the matter.

The announcement will be made at MetLife Stadium at 11 a.m. Friday. Lt. Gov. Sheila Oliver will be on hand.

Rumors of WWE's flagship event returning to the Garden State have been swirling for months. Barstool Sports reporter Robbie Fox reported in January that MetLife Stadium would host WrestleMania 35.

BREAKING: #WrestleMania 35 will be held back at Metlife Stadium in New Jersey (promoted as New York). Philadelphia and Detroit were the other frontrunners but I'm told NY is a done deal at this point. — Robbie Fox (@RobbieBarstool) January 31, 2018

This will be the fourth WrestleMania in New Jersey. The first two were WrestleMania IV and V at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City in 1988 and 1989.

Those two events were promoted by Donald Trump, who at the time owned a pair of casinos in the city -- Trump Plaza and Trump's Castle. On TV, both events were said to have taken place at Trump Plaza (even though that was not the case).

The last time New Jersey hosted WrestleMania was in 2013, when MetLife Stadium served as the arena for WrestleMania 29.

Nearly 80,000 fans packed in to watch John Cena dethrone The Rock as WWE champion that year, in a match that capped a night highlighted by an appearance by not-yet-president Trump, then-Gov. Chris Christie helicoptering in, and a performance by Sean "Diddy" Combs.
