Las Vegas will host “The Showcase of the Immortals” during two nights of WrestleMania 41 this year, but reports have already pointed to a possible location for WrestleMania 42 in 2026. According to PWInsider EliteNew Orleans is currently the favorite for next year’s WrestleMania, if the rumor mill around Louisiana residents is to be believed. PWIE reported that they also heard the city was being discussed within WWE last month, but this was the first time it had been discussed locally.
The outlet also reported that Indianapolis, Indiana is “absolutely” on the table for WrestleMania in 2027, after WWE and the city announced a partnership in June 2024 that would bring WrestleMania, SummerSlam and Royal Rumble to the region. The Royal Rumble will take place in Indianapolis next month at Lucas Oil Stadium. The upcoming SummerSlam held in the city will be a two-night event, like WrestleMania, but the date has not yet been announced.
New Orleans hosted WrestleMania 34 in 2018 at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, where the main event saw Brock Lesnar retain the Universal Championship against Roman Reigns. The event was also the first time then-UFC fighter Ronda Rousey was seen in WWE, embarrassing Triple H and Stephanie McMahon alongside Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson after the actor removed her from the ring.
