Industry Reactions To WrestleMania 42 Being Moved, UPDATED INFO (Patreon)
Content
Wrestlenomics dropped a shocking report, revealing that WrestleMania 42 would no longer be in New Orleans. WWE confirmed the news to Fightful, clarifying that it's part of a larger deal that will bring WrestleMania to the city in a future reveal. Now, Fightul Select has learned of many reactions throughout the industry.
Upon hearing the news, many WWE employees, staff and talent were shocked. One talent noted that they were surprised to see this past year's WrestleMania announced so late, with it being early May 2024. Now, with next year's not being announced officially as of yet, this puts it at one of the latest announcements for Mania in recent memory.
Talent that we spoke to are largely unfazed, as WWE generally handles the planning and travel for those weeks and weekends anyway. Several of the talent that we heard from said that they hadn't even begun to think about next year's WrestleMania, and haven't heard where it will be yet.
We're told this regime has been much more apt to waiting to announce any number of shows, and are open to changes if the revenue generated is a significant increase.
There was immediate frustration within the industry. A number of sources indicated that Wrestlecon had already signed their venue contract for New Orleans. We haven't been told of any other promoters that had already signed deals, but it has been normal practice to start negotiating for venues almost a full year ahead. There was immediate posturing from a number of companies to find out where next year's WrestleMania would be moved to.
We're working to find out more and will likely update this article.
UPDATE: NOLA News is claiming that WrestleMania 42 is headed to Las Vegas. Shortly before 3 PM ET, someone formerly connected to WWE had intimated the same to Fightful.
Those we are speaking to are expecting a date change. The early word we'd got was that no Las Vegas deal was finalized, but they were closing in on Allegiant Stadium for April 18-19.
