WrestleMania XXV (also known as the 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania or WrestleMania 25), was a professional wrestling pay-per-view event made by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). It took place on April 5, 2009 at Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas.^[2][3] It was the twenty-fifth yearly WrestleMania event held by WWE, and the second WrestleMania in the state of Texas, with the first being 2001's WrestleMania X-Seven, which was held at the Reliant Astrodome. The tagline for the event was "Everything is bigger in Texas, especially WrestleMania". "Cowboy" by Kid Rock was used in the first promotional advertisement for the event.^[3] While WWE called it the 25th Anniversary, it is only the 24th anniversary as WrestleMania I cannot be an anniversary of itself.
