Latest Report Says WWE WrestleMania Set To Return To Las Vegas After New Orleans Cancellation

WrestleMania 42 was originally scheduled to take place in New Orleans next year, but the event was reportedly canceled by WWE.

Now, reports indicate that the company will bring its biggest event of 2026 back to Las Vegas, the site of this year's record-breaking WrestleMania 41 event. Nola.com was the first to report the news, stating that leadership inside of WWE made the decision.

"After the success of this year's event, the new leadership running WWE decided that they would rather hold next year's event in Las Vegas and see what response they get from fans, according to an industry official who wasn't authorized to be quoted by name."Nola.com

WWE have not made any official statement or commented on the New Orleans cancellation or the report that WrestleMania 42 is heading back to Las Vegas.

Dave Meltzer, meanwhile, reported that while Vegas isn't officially locked in, it's locked in enough to pull out of New Orleans. Meltzer wrote, "Vegas is the plan. Not locked but one would think pulling out of New Orleans means locked enough they'd tell New Orleans today they were out."
