There has been an update on a potential location for WWE WrestleMania 42. The company is currently building towards WrestleMania 41 later this year at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.
According to a new report by PW Insider, the promotion is considering New Orleans, Louisiana, as the location for next year’s Show of Shows. WrestleMania XXX and 34 were both held at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans. New Orleans is currently the frontrunner to host the event in 2026.
The winners of the Men’s and Women’s Royal Rumble Matches respectively will go on to challenge for a major title at The Show of Shows. Cody Rhodes and Bayley won the Royal Rumble matches last year and went on to become champions on The Grandest Stage of Them All. WWE Royal Rumble 2025 will take place on February 1 in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Bill Apter believes major WWE star should remain champion until WrestleMania
Legendary wrestling journalist Bill Apter recently shared his thoughts on the upcoming World Heavyweight Championship match between Gunther and Jey Uso. The Ring General will be defending the title against Main Event Jey at Saturday Night’s Main Event next weekend.
Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling’s The Wrestling Time Machine podcast, Apter noted that he was looking forward to the title match next Saturday night. The veteran predicted that Gunther would remain champion until WrestleMania and claimed that Jey Uso didn’t need a title.
“It’s gonna be a great match. But ‘Yeet’ rhymes with beat. Unfortunately, Jey Uso, fabulous as he is, is not the guy to take the title away from Gunther. He’s over huge; he doesn’t need the belt. Gunther needs to keep the belt, at least, until WrestleMania,” Apter said. [From 10:20 onwards]
