Daniel Bryan overcame all the odds and won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 30 in New Orleans.

WWE has now confirmed that WrestleMania 34 will also take place in New Orleans, with the event inked in for Sunday, April 8, 2018 as the city celebrates 300 years since it was founded.

A capacity crowd of 75,167 filled the Superdome in 2014 to witness Bryan and Lesnar's triumphs, as well as John Cena defeating Bray Wyatt and Cesaro winning the inaugural Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.
