The collaboration between WWE and AAA aims to blend the distinct wrestling cultures and fan bases of both organizations, creating an event that appeals to a diverse audience. Fans can look forward to an entertaining night filled with high-energy performances and competitive matchups.
In addition to Worlds Collide II, WWE has also announced that WrestleMania 42 will return to Las Vegas in 2026. Scheduled for April 18 and 19, 2026, this two-night event will take place at the Allegiant Stadium. Ticket sales for WrestleMania 42 will commence on September 24, 2025. The previous edition of WrestleMania in 2025 was notable for taking place across multiple venues in Las Vegas, further cementing the city as a central hub for professional wrestling events. WrestleMania events have historically proven to be extremely successful, with the recent WrestleMania 41 setting impressive attendance records.
As Vegas continues to enhance its reputation as a hub for major sports entertainment, both Worlds Collide II and WrestleMania 42 are expected to draw significant crowds and generate enthusiasm among fans, athletes, and the media alike. With the wrestling industry on an upward trajectory, these events collectively highlight WWE’s commitment to expanding its influence and providing unforgettable experiences for its audience.
