WWE enters the new year with its major pay-per-views already announced. The Royal Rumble, Elimination Chamber, WrestleMania, SummerSlam and Money in the Bank already have homes heading into 2026.

The Road to WrestleMania 42 begins Jan. 31 with the Royal Rumble. WWE is taking the Royal Rumble to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, for the first time. The winner of the men's and women's Rumble matches will earn world title shots at WrestleMania.

Speaking of WrestleMania, WWE made rare and unprecedented moves for 2026's flagship show. WrestleMania will return to the same city, Las Vegas, in back-to-back years for only the second time in more than four decades. The company relocated Mania from New Orleans to Las Vegas, marking the first time WWE had changed cities after publicly announcing WrestleMania. As a compromise, New Orleans will host Money in the Bank on Sept. 6 and has been promised a future WrestleMania.
