WWE takes WrestleMania 42 from New Orleans after announcing as host city in February

After announcing New Orleans as the host city for WrestleMania 42 earlier this year, WWE has removed the event from the Big Easy.

According to a statement from the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation, the promotion is rescheduling a WrestleMania in New Orleans for a later, unspecified year. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson announced New Orleans' Caesar's Superdome as the venue for 2026 in February during a segment on WWR Friday Night Smackdown at Smoothie King Center.

New Orleans & Company head Walt Leger also noted that WWE hopes to bring other pay-per-view events to the city.
