WWE confirms location for WrestleMania week SmackDown, Raw episodes
WWE is continuing to roll out its plans for WrestleMania 42 week in Las Vegas.
WrestleMania is now just over two months away, and WWE confirmed today that T-Mobile Arena in Vegas will be hosting SmackDown and Raw episodes surrounding the event. The Friday, April 17 episode of SmackDown and Monday, April 20 episode of Raw will each emanate from the venue, serving as the last stop before Mania and the first show coming out of the event.
Special combo tickets for the two episodes are going on sale to the general public at 1 p.m. Eastern time on Friday, February 13. Prior to that, a pre-sale will begin on Wednesday, February 11.
This is the second straight year that Las Vegas has hosted WrestleMania, and T-Mobile Arena was also the venue for these WrestleMania week editions of SmackDown and Raw in 2025.
WrestleMania 42 takes place at Allegiant Stadium on Saturday, April 18 and Sunday, April 19. WWE has partnered with the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority for WrestleMania and its surrounding events, which also includes the WWE World convention returning from April 16-20.
The road to WrestleMania officially began this past weekend with Roman Reigns and Liv Morgan winning their respective Royal Rumble matches. WWE has not yet revealed which champions they’ll be challenging at WrestleMania.
