According to PWInsider.com, New Orleans has emerged as the frontrunner to host WrestleMania next year, with discussions about the city gaining traction within WWE over the past month. This is the first time the possibility has been spoken of locally in Louisiana. Additionally, it was noted that Indianapolis is still being considered as a potential host city for WrestleMania 43.
WWE has previously held two WrestleMania events in New Orleans at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome: WrestleMania 30 in 2014 and WrestleMania 34 in 2018. Both events featured historic moments that are still talked about today.
