WrestleMania 42 will not take place in New Orleans next year.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson announced in February during Smackdown the Big Easy would be the host city in 2026.

However, according to a statement provided to Wrestlenomics, that won’t be the case.

“The Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation and New Orleans & Company are working closely with our friends at TKO to expand our long-standing partnership,” the statement from the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation reads, “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.”

Instead of WrestleMania 42, WWE’s Money in the Bank premium live event will be held in New Orleans in 2026. No date was given.

There has been no indication as to where WrestleMania will take place next year.

According to report, the foundation described the statement as a “joint message from both their organization and WWE.”
