As with the case every year, when one WrestleMania is airing, the next years event tends to be announced. WrestleMania 42 was originally announced to take place in New Orleans, a place it has been held most recently in 2018 for WrestleMania 34. Now, there is a report that this location is no longer happening.
Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics received a statement from the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation saying the event will be rescheduled for a later year. The statement also includes that WWE Money in the Bank will be held in New Orleans in 2026.
The Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation and New Orleans & Company are working closely with our friends at TKO to expand our long-standing partnership, 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 also confirmed this report. This news has not been announced by WWE themselves to the general public.
