In speaking to several within WWE sources this morning, they were across the board pretty surprised by Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro’s mention that Wrestlemania 2026 would emanate from Philadelphia, noting that it was not something that had been discussed internally.
We are also told by a well placed source who would be involved that the location for Mania 2026 has NOT locked in stone as of this writing.
There are some in the company who wondered if Shapiro just meant to reference WWE as a whole, not Mania itself and incorrectly spoke, but couldn’t state whether that was indeed the case.
PWInsider.com has reached out to WWE PR for clarification and should we receive a confirmation or denial on record, we’ll update.
Not gonna lie, I’m down for another Wrestlemania in Philly, although it would be odd for them to have it there twice so close together. I ended up out of town for it this year, but I’m close enough I was really hoping to catch some of the indie shows during the day and get home in time to watch Mania at night.
