WWE's strategy for selecting the host city for WrestleMania 42 has taken an unexpected turn. The company is currently busy making negotiations to encourage cities to submit more bids for hosting the show. Earlier, the Showcase of the Immortals was originally scheduled to take place next April at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, but news broke late last week that it would no longer host the event, and a new venue is yet to be announced. WWE is reportedly pressuring cities into bigger bids to host WrestleMania 42 WWE is reportedly putting pressure on cities to make bigger bids to host WrestleMania 42. The company is using the uncertainty surrounding the event's location as a tactic to prompt cities to increase their bids. By doing this, WWE may be creating a competitive environment where the hosts feel compelled to offer more attractive financial packages to secure the event. According to Fightful Select , 'WrestleMania 42 isn't in New Orleans, and officially doesn't have a home, though it's expected to be Las Vegas once again.' This comes as a surprise to many that the company is considering Las Vegas again, as Las Vegas was initially viewed as the frontrunner for the 2026 edition of WrestleMania. Despite the ongoing speculation, WWE is yet to confirm the venue, and sources within the company have remained tight-lipped, without declaring any official word on the matter. In the meantime, some sources have mentioned the possibility of other cities hosting the event, particularly London. The UK has been a point of discussion for hosting , but the high cost of hosting the event in London could be a major factor in whether the company moves forward with this option.

They stated, 'Saudi Arabia, which has long shown interest in hosting WrestleMania, is another rumored location, but it doesn't seem to be a feasible option in the immediate future. A longtime WWE employee weighed in, stating that if WrestleMania were to be held in Saudi Arabia, it would likely happen in the future, possibly rebranded as 'Super WrestleMania. ' In reality, the contest to host is fierce, as it contributes significantly to the country's economy. As WrestleMania 41 was hosted at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas in April 2025, a city known for its high-profile events and substantial tourism revenue.

Roman Reigns revealed why he'll be having chemotherapy until he dies after previous retirement from WWE
Wrestler Roman Reigns will be competing at Wrestlemania in the WWE as he continues to fight his personal health battle he will likely face for the rest of his life. Reigns will face CM Punk and Seth Rollins in a Triple Threat Match this weekend on Saturday's Main Card at WrestleMania 41, which is taking place at the Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada. And on Sunday's Main Card, Cody Rhodes takes on John Cena for the Undisputed WWE Championship, in what will be Cena's final WrestleMania match owing to his retirement from professional wrestling at the end of this year. Reigns' current WWE contract expires after WrestleMania 42 next year, which is being held next April at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. And Reigns has cast doubt over his long-term WWE future, as he believes his wrestling career only has a couple more years left on its clock before he looks towards another form of entertainment less physically taxing. Speaking to Vanity Fair, he said: "After I finish the contract that I'm in, we probably got another year or two max. "Then it's time to take on a less physical form of entertainment." But regardless of what path his career takes in the future, Reigns will be battling and managing an illness for the rest of his life. Reigns was first diagnosed with leukaemia in 2007 when he was a budding American footballer. His illness returned in 2018 which meant he spent time away from wrestling and he returned to the ring in February 2019 when his leukaemia went into remission. The type of leukaemia Reigns lives with is incurable but is treatable and so he will be on medication to control it for the rest of his life, but that it does not affect his ability to perform in the wrestling ring. Speaking last year at the press conference ahead of WrestleMania XL, Reigns said: "I'm still on oral chemotherapy, it's a medication that I'm going to have to remain on my entire life most likely. "It's just a part of my personal battle. It doesn't affect me, thank God, I'm still able to perform. I think anybody in my position would say health is wealth. "As long as I continue to perform, you already know that's at bay. We're good. We're still in remission. It is something that is still part of my life."

Groom Goes Viral for Dancing Down Wedding Aisle to Kendrick Lamar's 'Not Like Us': See the Video! (Exclusive)
Kendrick Lamar would approve of one groom's epic walk down the aisle! Before bride Shamar Marchand (née Brown) reached the altar on March 1 at Hilton Miami Aventura in Florida, her fiancé, Adler Marchand, made his wedding ceremony entrance one that their 206 guests will never forget. He danced down the aisle to a custom wedding remix of Lamar's hit "Not Like Us." In a recording of the wedding entrance — which has nearly 18 million views on TikTok since it was posted by the groom's sister, Yrva Marchand, on March 2 — Adler looks dapper at the end of the aisle wearing a cream suit and golden eyewear. His best man, Bryan Roberts, stands beside him. Suddenly, the music shifts from Young Thug and Gunna's "Hot" to Lamar's "Not Like Us," which causes guests to erupt into applause. A wedding remix of the song's Super Bowl LIX Halftime version began playing. Related: Why Are Drake and Kendrick Feuding? A Complete Timeline of the Rappers' Beef — Including the Diss Track That Scored Kendrick 5 Grammys "It's a wedding day vibe, I'ma step up through the door," Adler lip synched. "You really 'bout to do it? Ring and vows set in place this is bigger than the moment. You really 'bout to do it?" Guests cheered as Roberts gave Adler some lip balm and adjusted his suit. "Then get on it like that. Ayy, I'm trippin', I'm slidin', I'm ridin' through the back like, 'Baow.'" The crowd then erupted as Adler and Roberts danced down the aisle like Lamar during his Super Bowl performance on Feb. 9 at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans. "The response from our guests was absolutely incredible — they went wild, hyping me up the entire way down the aisle," Adler tells PEOPLE. "Many friends and family members mentioned that they expected nothing less, given my energy and creative talents." He continues: "I was admittedly nervous and even started forgetting some of the lyrics we rehearsed. I remember my best man whispering, 'Hold on, don't go yet!' when I started moving too early. Despite the nerves, we all improvised together, and that collective energy turned a few hiccups into one of the most memorable moments of our day." Adler tells PEOPLE that his "Not Like Us" wedding entrance was a "last-minute decision." He was originally planning on "casually" walking down the aisle to "Hot." "But after thinking about it more, I decided to remix Kendrick's halftime performance lyrics and reached out to my friend and producer Danny Ramirez, to see if he could rap and create it for me," he explains. "Once he sent it back perfectly, I shared it with my fiancée at the time, and she approved. Then, I ran it by my best man, and he liked it too." Just two days before the wedding, Adler met up with Roberts for 10 minutes to quickly rehearse. "And that was it!" he says. "The whole idea and execution came together within a week, making it one of the most spontaneous but exciting parts of the wedding." Adler has always been a "huge" fan of Lamar, "not just for his music, but for his vibe as an entertainer and creative visionary." "The energy in 'Not Like Us' has always resonated with me, and after watching his Super Bowl performance repeatedly (I lost count after watching it 100 times!), I was completely inspired to incorporate that vibe into my wedding," Adler says. "With my last name being Marchand and our wedding hashtag #MarchandDownTheAisle, it felt like a perfect and relevant match that truly captured the excitement and uniqueness of the day I was marrying my bride."

Shortly after his unforgettable entrance, Adler exchanged vows with Shamar. The couple met through church in 2016 when they were both attending Latter Rain Family Worship Center, but they didn't romantically connect until four years later in 2020 when they worked together on their pastor's 50th birthday party. Adler asked Shamar to be his girlfriend on Aug. 2, 2020, and popped the question on Nov. 2, 2023. "After years of dating, I knew she was the one," he says. "I'm now excited to tie the knot with my best friend." Read the original article on People
