Maybe later? WrestleMania has long since become the biggest and most important wrestling events in the wrestling world. It takes place every year, now over two nights, with WWE bringing in millions and millions of dollars ever time. The host city does very well too, but now one location is saying that they will not be hosting an upcoming edition despite suggesting that they would.

Over the weekend, in a since deleted Q&A video posted to Twitter, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro was listing events coming to the city of Philadelphia in 2026, including WrestleMania. However, the Governor’s office sent out an update to Fightful, announcing that there was an error in the video and WrestleMania would NOT be coming to Philadelphia in 2026. There is no word on where the show will be held and it is not clear when WWE will make such an announcement. WrestleMania 40 was held in Philadelphia earlier this year.

Opinion: That makes more sense, as while I could see Philadelphia getting WrestleMania again, it would be hard to imagine it taking place in the same city twice in three years. WWE seems more interested in spreading the wealth than that and there are several other places which would love to host the event. Philadelphia will likely get the show again though, as it did well this time.
