The new location for "WWE WrestleMania 42" has been announced.

During the "Money in the Bank 2025" PLE, a video package played of WWE chief content officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque. During the video, Levesque confirmed that "WrestleMania" is returning to Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

Speculation ran rampant about the new "WrestleMania 42" location after WWE decided to put New Orleans aside for the time being. Soon, it would be reported that WWE was working through some hurdles in order to return to Las Vegas for the two-night special.

"WrestleMania 42" will take place April 18-19, 2026. In the announcement video, Levesque asked if fans were ready to "double down."

WWE held "WrestleMania 41" in Las Vegas. It's been reported that WWE was offered more money to host its biggest event of the year in "Sin City" once again. It was also said that the company didn't want to stray away from where its convention and other pre-show events were held during the 2025 "WrestleMania."

While "WrestleMania 41 Sunday" was headlined by John Cena, things will be quite different in 2026, as Cena will retire before WWE returns to "Sin City."

One man who figures to be a focal point of "The Grandest Stage of Them All" in 2026 is Cody Rhodes, who will likely have a rematch with Cena at some point. Many expect the two to collide again at "SummerSlam."

Over on the female side, Rhea Ripley will also likely have a key role at "The Showcase of the Immortals."
