WWE announced a two-day total attendance of 124,693 for WrestleMania 41 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, the city’s first time hosting WWE’s signature event since WrestleMania IX was held at Caesars Palace in 1993. The announced crowd for Night 1 on Saturday was 61,467 with 62,226 on Night 2. WrestleMania 42 is scheduled for April 11-12, 2026, at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.
The integration between WWE and UFC, which share parent company TKO Group Holdings, was apparent throughout the weekend. TKO President & COO Mark Shapiro was sitting in the front row. WWE President Nick Khan and family were perched in the front row on the end seats near the ramp where the wrestlers entered. UFC President Dana White began the Peacock broadcasts as the narrator of “City of Dreams,” a video highlighting why Las Vegas is the home of combat sports. White attended the event with UFC Chief Business Office Hunter Campbell. A number of current and former UFC stars were shown during the broadcast, including HOFer Daniel Cormier.
