Some big plans are at work for WrestleMania 2026.

WWE is currently preparing to deliver the final main roster PLE of 2025, Survivor Series, which will close out the show in style as the promotion focuses on 2026. However, a new report has revealed that WWE is already making massive plans for the ‘Grandest Stage’ WrestleMania.

The 42nd edition of WrestleMania is set to emanate live from the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. The show will take place over two nights, April 18 (Saturday) and April 19 (Sunday), 2026.

According to a new report, the Stamford-based promotion has reportedly been making big plans for the current WWE Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer. She captured the title after defeating Iyo Sky at Wrestlepalooza.
