WrestleMania 2026 wont be coming to New Orleans after allbut Paul Triple H Levesque just made it official that Money in the Bank will.
In a new statement posted on social media, Levesque addressed the recent joint announcement between WWE and the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation, confirming that WrestleMania is no longer scheduled for the Superdome in April 2026. But while the big show is being pushed to a future year, New Orleans isnt getting left behind.
Today I want to announce to you the first of those, one of which were very excited about coming to New Orleans on Saturday, August 29th, Levesque said. 2026 will be Money in the Bank.
He added, Money in the Bank is one of our biggest events of the year with high stakes, amazing drama and the chance of a lifetime for two WWE Superstars to walk away with a coveted Money in the Bank briefcase.
The updated plans come after WWE made a splashy on-air announcement earlier this year with The Rock naming New Orleans as the host city for WrestleMania 42. Thats now off the table, and no new host city has been announced. But WWE is keeping close ties with Louisiana, thanks to what Levesque described as great local partners from both the state and the city.
Stay tuned for more details on a WrestleMania coming to New Orleans, which will be announced at a later date, Levesque said. As our major live event calendar in New Orleans continues to expand and evolve so that just leaves one question. And are you ready?
WrestleMania has previously been held in New Orleans in 2014 and 2018, and its clear the city is still in WWEs future plansjust not in 2026. For now, fans can mark their calendars for Saturday, August 29, 2026, when Money in the Bank storms into town for a night that could change careers in an instant.
