Back when WrestleMania 36 was supposed to take place at Raymond James Stadium last April, Kevin Owens came up with the idea of diving off the stadium's pirate ship (it ties into the pirate theme of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers) during his grudge match with Seth Rollins. Those plans had to be scrapped after the COVID-19 pandemic forced Mania to be shunted inside an empty WWE Performance Center, but KO still managed to land a big stunt by hitting a senton off the giant WrestleMania sign.

"True story: I went to a show there in January," Owens tweeted after WrestleMania 36. "As soon as I saw it, I told myself no matter what I was doing at Mania, I'd find a way to jump off that thing. I even took pics of it to figure out the best way to go about it. It didn't work out but I found the next best thing!"

WrestleMania will finally take place in Tampa's stadium this year, and photos of the entrance stage of WrestleMania 37 have already made their way online. The stage is shaped like another pirate ship, but it also blocks the Buccaneers' ship. Despite that, Owens hasn't given up on his dream.

Owens will take on Sami Zayn at this year's WrestleMania with Logan Paul in Zayn's corner.
