WWE is gearing up for this year’s WrestleMania in Las Vegas, with the event set to feature some of the biggest matches of the year. The anticipation is at an all-time high, but many fans outside the USA are hoping for an international edition of WrestleMania in the future. Despite the demand, WWE currently has no plans to host the event in the UK, Saudi Arabia, or any other international location.

According to Fightful Select, WWE has no plans to host WrestleMania outside the US until at least 2028. While Saudi Arabia and the UK are among the top contenders for a potential international WrestleMania, the company remains committed to keeping the event exclusive to the US for now. However, WWE has been in discussions about holding other major premium live events outside the country.

Initially, reports suggested that WWE planned to keep its Big Four premium live events—Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, SummerSlam, and Survivor Series—exclusive to the United States. However, with next year’s Royal Rumble already announced for Saudi Arabia, the possibility of other major PLEs being hosted internationally in the coming years has increased.

However, this year’s WrestleMania has faced significant backlash from the WWE Universe. Fans have expressed frustration over steep ticket prices, and criticism intensified when WWE made unexpected changes to the match card. As the event approaches, only time will tell how this year’s Show of Shows unfolds in Sin City this April.

According to WrestleVotes, WrestleMania 42 is likely headed to the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans for 2026. The venue previously hosted WrestleMania 30 in 2014 and WrestleMania 34 in 2018, both of which were highly regarded events. Additionally, the city’s signature purple aesthetics have contributed to its memorable atmosphere. Fans can expect an official announcement sometime in March.

Furthermore, with its newly renovated design and upgraded facilities, the Caesars Superdome also hosted this year’s Super Bowl LIX. Fans can expect an incredible spectacle in the Big Easy next year. It will be interesting to see how WWE incorporates this major announcement into the road to this year’s Showcase of Immortals.
