WWE WrestleMania Hosting Plans Remain Uncertain for Indianapolis New Orleans Despite Agreements

WWE has secured agreements with multiple cities for hosting major events, including Royal Rumble, SummerSlam, and WrestleMania, but the exact timing for Indianapolis and New Orleans to host WrestleMania remains unclear. Indianapolis signed a multi-year deal in 2024 to host these events at Lucas Oil Stadium, beginning with the 2025 Royal Rumble, but sources indicate there is no confirmed date for WrestleMania or SummerSlam there, with SummerSlam 2027 being the earliest possibility. Minneapolis is scheduled to host SummerSlam in 2026, and Las Vegas and Saudi Arabia are set to host WrestleMania in 2026 and 2027, respectively, pushing Indianapolis and New Orleans further down the line. New Orleans officials have expressed skepticism about when they will host WrestleMania, saying they will "believe it when they see it." Despite the uncertainty, the relationship between WWE and Indianapolis remains positive following the success of recent events like WrestlePalooza. Fans and officials in Indianapolis are growing impatient as other cities receive priority for these marquee WWE events.
