WrestleMania 42 set in Vegas

WrestleMania 42 will return to Las Vegas next weekend, with WWE set for two nights at Allegiant Stadium on April 18 and April 19. (wwe.com) In the United States, both shows are scheduled to stream live on ESPN at 6 p.m. Eastern on Saturday and Sunday, while WWE says Netflix will carry the event outside the United States. (wwe.com) The advertised top matches include Cody Rhodes defending the Undisputed WWE Championship against Randy Orton and CM Punk, billed by WWE as World Heavyweight Champion, facing Roman Reigns. USA Today reported on April 11 that 13 bouts were scheduled as WrestleMania week began. (wwe.com, usatoday.com) Las Vegas is getting WrestleMania for the second time in three years after WWE staged WrestleMania 41 at Allegiant Stadium in 2025. WWE and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority announced the 2026 return in May 2025. (wwe.com) WWE is also selling a new kind of premium ticket: seats built atop the WrestleMania set itself. The company said on March 17 that it was the first time fans could buy seats positioned on top of the event’s stage. (corporate.wwe.com) Allegiant Stadium is promoting Priority Pass packages around the event, including premium seats for both nights, appearances by WWE talent, pre-show events and hospitality perks. The stadium’s event page lists WrestleMania 42 for April 18 and April 19. (allegiantstadium.com) The setup underscores how WrestleMania has become a weeklong travel draw as much as a wrestling card, with WWE bundling tickets, hospitality and destination marketing through Las Vegas tourism officials. WWE’s ticket announcements for the event were issued in partnership with the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. (wwe.com, wwe.com) By this time next week, WWE will be back in the same stadium with a championship doubleheader, a Las Vegas tourism push and fans watching from seats that, this year, extend all the way onto the set.
