WWE WrestleMania 42 Location Major Update

WWE

A major update has emerged regarding the new location of next year’s WWE WrestleMania 42 event.

On May 22 it was revealed that WWE no longer planned to host 2026’s WrestleMania 42 event in New Orleans, despite the company officially announcing that the event would be coming to the city just three months prior.

Instead WWE announced that Money in the Bank would be coming to NOLA on August 29, 2026 – with a future WrestleMania coming at an unspecified date.

While the new location of WrestleMania 42 has not been confirmed by WWE as of yet, reports have suggested that the event will be returning to Las Vegas for a second year running.

In a major update on the situation, Bryan Alvarez revealed on Wrestling Observer Live that “several hurdles” have now been cleared for WrestleMania to return to Vegas, with an official announcement expected soon:

“As of today, they’re still not ‘confirmed’ for anywhere, but this morning, they cleared several hurdles that were in the way of WWE going to WrestleMania (in Las Vegas).

“Vegas is apparently making a lot of concessions to clear the way for WrestleMania in Vegas. I was told that as of today, it is almost a done deal.

“One of the issues was an issue with the stadium – this is not gonna be in the Sphere, it’s looking like it would be in the stadium. Apparently there was an unannounced concert, but the concert was close enough to the planned date of WrestleMania that there was not gonna be enough time to set up, and the concert was unwilling to move.

“And then apparently there was an issue with the convention center, which is where they were gonna do all of their whatever it’s called now (WWE World etc), but there were some issues with the convention center as well.

“I’m not sure what hurdles were cleared, but several were this morning. So it’s looking like probably very, very shortly, we’re going to get the news that next year’s WrestleMania is officially in Las Vegas, Nevada.”
