WrestleMania 42 is no longer taking place in New Orleans,
Louisiana, with The Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation
saying that the city will host WrestleMania another year.
“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.” a statement sent to
Wrestlenomics.com said.
It is unknown why the show is no longer being held in New
Orleans, which already hosted WrestleMania 30 and 34 in the
past at the Caesars Superdome. Money In The Bank next year
will substitute WrestleMania in the city instead, presumably
at the Smoothie King Center.
WWE has not issued a statement yet.
The WrestleMania 42 location announcement was done by Dwayne
“The Rock” Johnson during a Smackdown which was held in New
Orleans in February of this year.
