WWE Fans Forced To Wait For UK WrestleMania

WWE fans might have to wait a few more years to see WrestleMania land in the UK.

On February 13 it was reported that WWE will announce the host city for WrestleMania 42 very soon. It’s believed the event will take place in New Orleans, the home of WrestleMania 30 and WrestleMania 34.

The report added that the company would make the announcement in the coming weeks.

According to a follow-up from Fightful Select, the plan for a New Orleans WrestleMania in 2026 goes back several years to Vince McMahon’s time running the company. However, given the changes made to the location of WrestleMania 41, some wondered whether these plans would be changed.

Fightful added that those they’ve spoken to within the company said a WrestleMania in Saudi Arabia or the UK won’t happen before 2028.

Sadiq Khan Determined To Land WWE WrestleMania

In January, a spokesperson for London Mayor Sadiq Khan said he remains determined to bring WrestleMania to the city.

In a short statement, the spokesperson added that Khan wants to “cement London’s reputation as the undisputed sporting capital of the world.”

Back in July 2024, it was revealed that Triple H and Nick Khan had travelled to London to meet Sadiq Khan. The meeting came after Sadiq Khan went public with his desire to bring WrestleMania to London that April.

Meanwhile, it’s been announced that the Royal Rumble will be held in Saudi Arabia in 2026. This marks the first time the event has ever been held outside of North America.
