Earlier this year, global music star and WWE collaborator Bad Bunny stirred speculation when he suggested that WWE Backlash would take place in Mexico, though he provided no details on a date or location. That claim was quickly debunked by multiple sources, who confirmed that there were no official plans for Backlash to be held in Mexico. However, the comments reignited fan interest and speculation that WWE could return to the country for a major event in the near future.
According to WrestleVotes, speaking during a recent edition of SportsKeeda’s Backstage Pass Q&A, WWE has been heavily discussing the possibility of holding a Premium Live Event (PLE) in Mexico—with 2026 being identified as a likely target. WrestleVotes noted, “Mexico has been discussed heavily. I don’t know if it’s official. The London thing is always there. They’re always wanting shows. They always put themselves out there to get big shows. Look, WWE is gonna go where they make the most money. Internationally has been selling out just as much as domestic.”
While nothing is confirmed yet, WWE’s continued international expansion—along with the success of recent PLEs in markets like France, the UK, and Australia—makes a return to Mexico a highly plausible move in the next phase of WWE’s global strategy.
