WWE’s plans for WrestleMania 42 in 2026 have undergone a significant change, as the event will no longer take place in New Orleans.
WrestleNomics first reported the news. According to PWInsider.com, WWE currently does not have an official replacement location for its annual flagship event listed internally. However, there is a growing belief within company circles that WrestleMania 42 might be heading to an international destination. While Saudi Arabia is slated to host the Royal Rumble in 2026, it is considered unlikely that the country would also host WrestleMania in the same calendar year.
Speculation regarding potential international hosts has included Mexico, which has reportedly been considered for a major WWE event soon. London has also been mentioned as a possibility, following interest expressed by the city’s Mayor. If WrestleMania 42 does indeed take place internationally beyond its previous ventures into Canada, it would mark a historic first for the company, taking its grandest spectacle to a new global stage.
As of now, these are speculative discussions and beliefs within the company. WWE has not made any official announcements regarding a new location for WrestleMania 42.
