New Orleans Loses WrestleMania 42
- WWE has decided not to hold the WrestleMania event in New Orleans as planned for April 2026, postponing the event to a later date while maintaining hopes to return in the future.
- The cancellation followed WWE's acquisition by Ultimate Fighting Championship in September 2023 and leadership changes deciding to move the event from New Orleans.
- WrestleMania returned to New Orleans in 2018, drawing 124,693 attendees and generating an estimated $175 million in economic benefits for the city.
- A new multi-event, multi-year agreement includes UFC 318 on July 19, 2025, and WWE's Money in the Bank in 2026, while WrestleMania will be rescheduled for a future year.
- The cancellation leaves a significant gap in New Orleans' event calendar but officials expressed hope that WrestleMania will return in the future alongside other scheduled events.
