Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro says WrestleMania is coming to the state in 2026.
In a now deleted social media post, the governor noted several events that would be making their way to the state in 2026. Amongst the events announced, Shapiro would list WrestleMania. In the Q and A video, Shapiro was asked what events would be coming to Pennsylvania in 2026.
"So get this, in Philly, we’ve got the Major League Baseball All-Star Game, we got the FIFA World Cup, we got WrestleMania, we got a little golf action, the PGA Championship and if you go over to Pittsburgh, we’ve got the NFL Draft and a lot more cool stuff happening all across Pennsylvania in the year 2026 for USA 250."
WrestleMania was just hosted in Pennsylvania with WrestleMania 40 from Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia earlier this year. As mentioned previously, the post has since been deleted.
Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp also tweeted about the announcement, adding further context.
