In a move that has set shockwaves through the pro wrestling world, WrestleMania 42 in 2026 has moved out of New Orleans with less than a year until the show. But reports are saying there are tons of reasons for the move.

According to Andrew Baydala, reasons for the move out of New Orleans include funding, security, the facilities and other unspecified reasons.

Several WWE employees have confirmed that WrestleMania is being relocated from New Orleans, so if you believe the news is false, that should clarify things.

While WWE has confirmed the move out of New Orleans for WrestleMania, they will now host Money in the Bank in 2026. New Orleans didn’t lose WrestleMania entirely but it just won’t be happening in 2026.

The new location for WrestleMania 42 has not been announced yet but this will be very interesting in how they put this show together because they always know well over a year ahead of time of the following years WrestleMania location.
