WWEs grand event, WrestleMania 42, is facing significant hurdles when it comes to securing its location, and the latest updates suggest that the events future home is still uncertain.
According to Fightful Select, WrestleMania 42 isnt in New Orleans, and officially doesnt have a home, though its expected to be Las Vegas once again. This comes as a surprise to many, as Las Vegas was initially viewed as the frontrunner for the 2026 edition of WrestleMania. However, despite the ongoing speculation, WWE has yet to confirm the venue, and sources within the company have remained tight-lipped, giving no official word on the matter.
In the meantime, some sources have mentioned the possibility of other cities hosting the event, particularly London. The UK has been a point of interest for WWE, but theres a significant financial hurdle to overcome. It was noted that AEW pays the city and venue for All In and Forbidden Door, while WWE is seeking out a hefty site fee to bring the show to London, the report explained. This suggests that the high cost of hosting the event in London could be a major factor in whether the company moves forward with this option.
Saudi Arabia, which has long shown interest in hosting WrestleMania, is another rumored location, but it doesnt seem to be a feasible option in the immediate future. A longtime WWE employee weighed in, stating that if WrestleMania were to be held in Saudi Arabia, it would likely happen in the future, possibly rebranded as Super WrestleMania similar to how the company handled the Greatest Royal Rumble. This points to the idea that WWE could use Saudi Arabia as a venue for a special edition of WrestleMania later down the line.
Meanwhile, some within WWE have expressed that the continuous rumors about Las Vegas being a regular home for WrestleMania might be more than just speculation. Many in the company believe that is a negotiation tactic to encourage cities to bid more, the report noted. This indicates that WWE could be using Las Vegas as leverage in talks with other cities, pushing them to offer better deals to secure the event.
With WrestleMania 42 still without a confirmed location, fans are left waiting for an official announcement from WWE. The uncertainty surrounding the venue is only adding to the intrigue as fans wonder where next years most iconic wrestling event will take place.
