WWE WrestleMania 42 No Longer Taking Place In New Orleans
WWE WrestleMania 42 in the Big Easy might not be a done deal anymore. According to a new report from Wrestlenomics, WrestleMania 42 will no longer take place in New Orleans in 2026. A statement provided to Wrestlenomics claims New Orleans will get a future WrestleMania in an unspecified year. In addition, New Orleans will get two major events, one being the 2026 Money In The Bank event. Advertisement 'The Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation and New Orleans & Company are working closely with our friends at TKO to expand our long-standing partnership,' the statement from the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation reads. 'Which will include UFC 318 on July 19, 2025, Money In The Bank in 2026, and WrestleMania – which will move from the currently scheduled 2026 timeframe to a future year.' New Orleans & Company is a marketing group that promotes the New Orleans tourism industry. This is similar to how the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority promoted WrestleMania 41. Update: Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp is reporting that WWE confirmed the Wrestlenomics report is true. In addition, the WWE source noted that the change is part of a larger deal that adds the 2026 Money In The Bank event and a future Wrestlemania event. Update 2: A new report claims WrestleMania will return to Las Vegas in 2026. Where will WrestleMania 42 take place? WWE has not announced where WrestleMania 42 will now take place. Money In The Bank typically takes place in June or July. However, a date for the 2026 event was not mentioned. It was noted that the UFC and MITB events are part of a broader 'multi-event, multi-year agreement' being negotiated between local organizers and WWE and UFC parent company TKO. Advertisement New Orleans was only announced as the WrestleMania 42 location in February. That announcement came courtesy of The Rock, who delivered the news on an episode of SmackDown that taped in the city. WrestleMania 42 was originally scheduled to take place on April 11-12, 2026 at the Caesars Superdome. The venue previously hosted two other WrestleManias in 2014 (XXX) and 2018 (34). WWE had also gone as far as announcing televised WrestleMania 42 week events in New Orleans. However, these events are also likely going to be rescheduled.

Juggalos Brawl With GCW Wrestlers During Violent J Performance
Photo Credit: Sean Ross Sapp via Twitter This weekend's GCW live event gave fans much more than they expected. GCW was in St. Louis this weekend to present its 'Amerika's Most Wanted' live event. In addition to GCW action in the ring, the event also advertised a live musical performance from Violent J of the Insane Clown Posse. Advertisement During his performance, some JCW (Juggalo Championship Wrestling) talent and GCW wrestlers ended up brawling on the stage. Violent J has worked with GCW before, including a cameo on commentary for GCW's Bad Trip live event. This brawl looks like it could also be the start of a storyline feud between GCW and JCW, something Violent J has said he'd be open to in the past. The Insane Clown Posse launched JCW in 1999, and the wrestling promotion has run full-time since 2011. Violent J spoke with WrestleZone's Bill Pritchard about his future hopes for JCW and said he 'admires the f*** out of GCW.' He said his goal is to get JCW on a similar level one day. Advertisement 'I've been talking a lot with Brett from GCW. I love picking his brain and I could do that for hours, I like to consider him a friend of mine. And I admire the f*** out of GCW, brother. If I could get my company anywhere, I would like to be where they are to where they put a show on. People know what to expect before they even announce any talent.' 'They know what to expect from GCW. They know you're going to get a level of entertainment guaranteed from a GCW show. I want JCW to have a similar reputation. But we're not very big into deathmatches anymore. I personally only like to see deathmatch stuff in like blow-offs and things like that.'
