The Royal Rumble and WrestleMania are two WWE events fans look forward to every year. These shows are packed with exciting rivalries and storylines that come to life in the ring.
With WrestleMania 41 almost here and the Royal Rumble happening in just 10 days, the Road to WrestleMania is about to begin. Meanwhile, reports are spreading about the possible location for WrestleMania 42.
According to a report from PWInsider Elite, New Orleans could be the next city to host WrestleMania 42. Sources in Louisiana believe that New Orleans is the top choice, although nothing is definitive yet. New Orleans has already hosted WrestleMania twice, in 2014 and 2018, at the Caesars Superdome.
Per PWInsider, Louisiana (Hosts of WM30, WM34) could be the frontrunner to host WrestleMania 42.

Plus, the city will hold a WWE press event during Super Bowl weekend in February 2025, which adds to the excitement. With its vibrant atmosphere and past success, New Orleans seems like a desirable option. We’ll just have to wait for WWE’s official word.
Fans react to WrestleMania 42 location reports
WWE is working hard to make sure its programs reach a global audience, not just in the USA. They’ve already planned a lot, including the Royal Rumble 2026, which will take place in Saudi Arabia. That’s why fans began to speculate about the possibility of holding WrestleMania 42 internationally.
However, the latest reports have left some fans disappointed. While some are happy with the news, others feel uneasy about it. Many fans are suggesting other places for WrestleMania, like Chicago, the UK, Houston, and more.
Why can’t we get one in chicago it’s been so long

It's funny that this is how WWE does things, They give the titles to the same 5-6 people with a roster of over 60 wrestlers on each show for about 10-15 years. You have 50 states in the US, and the same 5-10 states get to hold PLE every year, especially WrestleMania, lol.
