In a wild and unexpected shakeup to upcoming WWE events, New Orleans and the WWE have confirmed that WrestleMania 42 will not take place in the city. While a new location has not officially been announced, multiple outlets have reported that there's an intention to bring WrestleMania back to Las Vegas for the second year in a row.

After an abrupt change of course, WrestleMania 42 could reportedly take place in Las Vegas, but will it ultimately affect WWE’s soaring profitability in 2026?

There might be a massive change brewing with WWE's planned "WrestleMania 42" event. During the Feb. 21 episode of "Friday Night SmackDown," The Rock announced that WWE's biggest annual PLE will be held at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.

A new report from the Wrestling Observer indicates that Vince McMahon would have handled the situation regarding WrestleMania 42 and New Orleans very differently.
