WWE Confirms WrestleMania 42 Las Vegas Return 2026

WWE has announced that WrestleMania 42 will be held at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on April 18-19, 2026, marking a return to the venue following the record-breaking success of WrestleMania 41. The company reversed its earlier plan to host the event in New Orleans, citing the tremendous attendance and revenue figures from the previous Las Vegas show. Meanwhile, WWE wrestler Ron Killings, formerly known as R-Truth, is undergoing a rebranding process where WWE is blending his real name and ring name, signaling a transitional identity rather than a full change; Killings has declined offers to change his entrance theme, favoring to keep his established music. A major storyline development occurred with Jacob Fatu betraying Solo Sikoa during the Money in the Bank Ladder Match, transitioning Fatu into a babyface role and setting up a new feud as Sikoa remains a heel. Additionally, Paul Heyman's character presentation has shifted to a darker, more sinister persona following his alliance with Seth Rollins, who won the Money in the Bank briefcase with the aid of Heyman's faction, positioning Rollins for a future world title challenge.
