Minutes after the official press announcement that WrestleMania will be coming back to Orlando at the Citrus Bowl in 2017, WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon sat down with the Orlando Sentinel for an exclusive interview Tuesday.

His biggest event of the year, WrestleMania 32, is just weeks away in Dallas and the plans are already in motion for WrestleMania 33 in Orlando.

Question: You were just in Chicago last night [for Monday Night Raw]. That's a quick turnaround to be here this morning but once you get on that wheel, I'm sure it was a little bit easier. You get used to it.

Answer: "And you don't want to get off because if you do, it's like a merry-go-round. The merry-go-round keeps going faster and faster. It's tough to get back on.

A: "I must say that we're welcome here and that's part of the reason and it's the first time we're repeating [the same arena]. There have been a lot of improvements. We would not have come back had there not been a lot of improvements to the Citrus Bowl. We just can't now. And playing at these stadium shows is, for us, our big deal.
