Legend on WWE possibly holding WrestleMania 42 in two countries
WWE recently announced that WrestleMania 42 will no longer take place in New Orleans, Louisiana. In his latest podcast episode, former WCW President Eric Bischoff speculated that the two-night event could emanate from separate locations.
WrestleMania 42 was originally due to be held on April 11-12, 2026, at Caesars Superdome. It has been widely speculated that the show could return to Las Vegas' Allegiant Stadium for the second consecutive year. London and Saudi Arabia have also been rumored as potential future destinations for The Show of Shows.
Bischoff said on his 83 Weeks podcast that WrestleMania Saturday and WrestleMania Sunday could realistically be held in different countries:
"Since WrestleMania is two nights anyway, why not do one night in Vegas and one night in London? It could be done. That would be wild." [From 01:59:56 – 02:00:14]
In 1986, WWE held WrestleMania 2 in California, Illinois, and New York. The experiment only lasted for a year before the show returned to one location in 1987.
Eric Bischoff's WWE WrestleMania 42 prediction
Although he would like to see WrestleMania 42 in two cities, Eric Bischoff thinks Las Vegas is likely to host The Show of Shows again.
Bischoff also questioned why the Crown Jewel will take place in Perth, Australia, on October 11. The six previous versions of the annual event were held in Saudi Arabia.
"If I had to place money on it [WrestleMania 42's location], I'd bet Vegas," Bischoff said. "My second bet would be Saudi because there's even more money there, and I'm still kind of intrigued as to why WWE moved the Crown Jewel event from Saudi to Australia. That, to me, is the biggest indication that there might be some smoke with that fire, as far as WrestleMania and Saudi." [From 01:56:46 – 01:57:16]
In the same episode, Bischoff explained why returning to WWE is no longer as fun as it used to be.
