After years of getting the situation for subsequent yr’s WrestleMania locked in earlier than that yr’s Mania had even taken place, WWE modified issues up this yr, although not by design. Regardless of The Rock asserting earlier this yr that WrestleMania 42 could be in New Orleans, it emerged later within the spring that WWE could be transferring the occasion out of the location of WrestleMania’s 30 and 34. Only a few weeks later, WWE confirmed rumors going round by asserting WrestleMania 42 would as an alternative be in Las Vegas, the location of WrestleMania 41.
On the newest “My World,” AEW’s Jeff Jarrett and co-host Conrad Thompson mentioned the transfer from New Orleans again to Vegas, with Jarrett even noting that he had seen indicators for WrestleMania 42 in New Orleans when AEW ran a present in Lakefront, Louisiana in April. That proves to Jarrett that the choice to maneuver venues was very a lot a final minute name, and is a motive why he was initially caught off guard by it, although he rapidly realized there was nothing to be shocked about.
“In a approach, sure, [I] was very stunned,” Jarrett mentioned. “However then I caught myself earlier than that…thought had time to bake in my mind. And I simply mentioned ‘Nope, that is TKO. That is the brand new WWE.’ So all of the, quote, unquote, guidelines that I feel everybody has been so accustomed to, WrestleMania [in], you realize, Detroit, in Chicago, in New York, in Boston, and LA and Dallas and New Orleans, and perhaps in Atlanta…there’s discuss of right here within the hometown [Nashville], fairly the excitement, candidly, behind closed doorways, and ‘Oh, they are going to get a Mania’ and all this. On the finish of the day, it is ‘he who has the most important checkbook will get WrestleMania.'”
