WrestleMania 45 might actually be heading back to New Orleans in 2029, and if these reports are on the money, then the WWE Universe is in for a seriously epic comeback story.
The Big Easy’s Got a Hold on the Superdome
Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp dropped the bomb this Wednesday: WWE and New Orleans apparently have a hold on the Caesars Superdome for the spring of 2029. Yeah, you heard that right, 2029. That’s when WrestleMania 45 is slated to go down, so this isn’t just some casual rumor, folks. This news hits just days before one of WWE’s other massive premium live events, Money in the Bank, takes over the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans this Saturday. Talk about building some hype in the city!
From Heartbreak to Hope: The WrestleMania 42 Saga
Remember WrestleMania 42? That one went down earlier this year in Las Vegas at Allegiant Stadium. But here’s the kicker: it was originally announced for New Orleans back in February 2025! Then, just a few months later, WWE pulls the rug out, saying New Orleans wouldn’t host after all. The Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation even put out a statement on it, saying they were working with TKO to “expand our long-standing partnership,” which included UFC 318 in July 2025, Money in the Bank in 2026, and WrestleMania moving from the “currently scheduled 2026 timeframe to a future year.” Well, looks like landing WrestleMania 45 in 2029 would totally nail that “future year” part of the statement. This isn’t their first rodeo either. New Orleans has hosted WrestleMania twice before, WrestleMania 30 in 2014 and WrestleMania 34 in 2018, both at the Superdome. It just feels right, doesn’t it?
What This Means For The Next Few Years of WWE’s Grandest Stage
So, where do the other Manias land? Next year’s WrestleMania 43, set for April 2027, is gonna be in Saudi Arabia. That’s a huge deal, making it the first WrestleMania ever outside the US or Canada. And WrestleMania 44 in 2028? WWE hasn’t said a peep about that location yet. But with New Orleans potentially locking down 45, it shows they’re serious about being a consistent destination for WWE’s biggest party of the year. You gotta give ’em credit for playing the long game here.
So, keep your eyes peeled, WWE Universe. Money in the Bank is gonna rock New Orleans this Saturday. But all the chatter, all the speculation, it’s gonna be about that 2029 hold on WrestleMania 45. New Orleans is making a strong case to be a perennial home for the Showcase of the Immortals. If they land this, it’ll solidify their spot in WWE lore big time. You just love to see it.
