Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro’s tweet has caused a stir in the wrestling world as he announced that WrestleMania 42 will be coming to Philadelphia in 2026. However, the tweet has since been deleted.
The tweet mentioned several major events happening in Pennsylvania in 2026, including the Major League Baseball All-Star Game, the FIFA World Cup, WrestleMania, the PGA Championship, and more. It also highlighted Pittsburgh hosting the NFL Draft in the same year.
While the tweet generated excitement among wrestling fans, WWE officials have not officially confirmed Philadelphia as the location for WrestleMania 2026. According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, WWE has been securing locations for future events, but Philadelphia’s status remains uncertain.
Interestingly, WrestleMania 40 took place at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia earlier this year, showcasing the city’s ability to host large-scale wrestling events. This history makes Philadelphia a strong contender for hosting WrestleMania 42 in 2026, despite the lack of official confirmation at this time.
