WrestleMania 42 will take place in New Orleans for 3rd time

WWE star Dominik Mysterio wouldn't say 'no' to a possible match with John Cena at WrestleMania 41, he told Fox News Digital.

New Orleans played host to the Super Bowl for the 11th time in the city’s history, and on Friday, it was announced as the host of one of the biggest pro wrestling events in the world.

WrestleMania 42 will be held at the Caesars Superdome next year. It is the third time the city will host the "Granddaddy of Them All." The two-night event will take place on April 11 and 12, 2026. It is the first time the city will hold the event since WrestleMania 34.

"Finally, WrestleMania is coming back to New Orleans," Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, a 10-time WWE champion and TKO board member, said in a news release on Monday. "Next year, 2026, WrestleMania 42, live from the Superdome in one of the greatest cities on earth, New Orleans, Louisiana."

Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry also touted WWE’s decision to return to the "Big Easy."

"We are ecstatic to host WrestleMania 42 in New Orleans next year. Hosting this iconic event three times in the last 12 years is an honor we do not take lightly," Landry said. "I want to congratulate the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation for their successful efforts on this project. We look forward to showing WWE fans from around the world all our great state has to offer."
