Clarification has emerged on uncertainty surrounding an announcement about a future WrestleMania event.

With WrestleMania 41 set to take place in Las Vegas next April, WrestleMania 42 is the next Show of Shows currently without an announced location.

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro appeared to confirm that WrestleMania would be returning to Philadelphia in 2026, with WrestleMania included in a video showing events taking place in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh in 2026

This video was deleted from social media, resulting in uncertainty about the upcoming event.

Fightful has now shared a statement received from the Governor’s office, who reached out to Fightful to confirm that indicating that WrestleMania 42 would be in Philadelphia was a mistake.
