Image: WWE The financial success of WWE WrestleMania 41 continues to increase with the reveal that WWE has been approved for $4.2 million in tax credits for holding the week in Las Vegas, Nevada. The story was first reported by the Nevada Current on Thursday. The transferable film tax credits were approved by the Nevada Film Office and the Governor’s Office for Economic Development for last weekend’s WrestleMania in addition to related events like Raw, SmackDown, and NXT shows. The credits are on top of the $5 million WWE received from the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority for bringing their annual mega-event to their city. From the Currant report who noted the tax credit: “The $4.2 million in transferable film tax credits represents roughly 12% of the $33.7 million total production budget WWE estimated for two nights of WrestleMania 41 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas and three nights of wrestling events at nearby T-Mobile Arena. But $4.2 million is more than half of what the company estimated it
