WWE has reversed a controversial blackout policy that had banned WrestleMania 42 watch parties in Las Vegas.
The company had initially prohibited commercial screenings within 50 miles of Allegiant Stadium, a restriction aimed at stimulating ticket sales.
Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select first reported that the promotion dropped the ban following local pushback. He reported that several casinos, hotels, and city officials had expressed mounting frustration over the restrictions in recent weeks.
Sapp noted that the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority had paid a site fee with the expectation of generating city-wide economic benefits. A source told the outlet that the blackout contradicted this goal by exclusively favoring the host venue.
Stadium Swim at the downtown Circa resort confirmed the policy change on Friday night. A venue representative replied to a social media user inquiring about the blackout status by posting, “Not anymore. It has been lifted.”
WrestleMania 42 takes place on April 18 and 19, 2026.
