As WrestleMania 41 was taking place at Allegiant Stadium in April, WWE President Nick Khan was already planting the seed for a Las Vegas encore performance of professional wrestling’s biggest event.
WrestleMania 42 was originally expected to take place in New Orleans next year, but Khan was already impressed enough with what he saw in the week leading up to the two-day spectacle that is WrestleMania, and he asked Las Vegas Convention and Visitor Authority President and CEO Steve Hill if it were logistically possible to bring the event back to Sin City in 2026.
“Nick Khan approached me over the weekend of the event and said, ‘Is there any way that you guys could do this again next year,’ ” Hill told the Review-Journal.
