New Orleans No Longer Hosting WWE WrestleMania 42 WWE

WWE WrestleMania 42 will no longer take place in New Orleans, LA, despite being officially announced to be hosting the event earlier this year.

UPDATE: New WWE WrestleMania 42 Location Reportedly Revealed – click here for the latest.

On the February 21 episode of SmackDown, The Rock announced that New Orleans would be hosting next year’s WrestleMania 42.

While WrestleMania 42 would have been the Big Easy’s third time hosting WWE’s Grandest Stage of Them All in 12 years, that will reportedly no longer be happening, as Wrestlenomics Brandon Thurston has reported on a major change to the location of next year’s event.

Wrestlenomics today reported that they had been sent a statement by the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation, which revealed that the city was no longer hosting next year’s WrestleMania, instead staging the event in an unspecified year in the future.

Instead of WrestleMania 42, WWE Money in the Bank will take place in New Orleans in 2026, as detailed in the statement below:

“The Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation and New Orleans & Company are working closely with our friends at TKO to expand our long-standing partnership,” the statement from the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation reads, “which will include UFC 318 on July 19, 2025, Money In The Bank in 2026, and WrestleMania – which will move from the currently scheduled 2026 timeframe to a future year.”

Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp and PWInsider’s Mike Johnson have both since confirmed Wrestlenomics’ report to be true with sources within WWE.

As of now there is no word on the new host location for WrestleMania 42, but we will be sure to provide updates as they become available.
