WWE has released a new promo for next year’s WrestleMania 42, which also reveals its first official theme song — “Back in the Saddle” by Aerosmith.
The video features WWE COO Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque walking to a poker table, as the camera pans to the company’s top stars — current Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, CM Punk, and Brock Lesnar. Meanwhile, Paul Heyman stands in the corner, joined by Triple H
The wrestlers put all of their chips on the table with the WrestleMania logo, and a 2026 chip drops onto the table. A track by the hard rock band then plays in the background, revealing it as the event’s official theme song.
“They say in Vegas, everyone’s got a tell — a blink, a breath, a moment that can’t be controlled,” narrates Levesque. “But the great ones, they use it to their advantage. They own it. They’ve got them right where they want them. The rest just haven’t figured it out yet.
This isn’t the first time the band and the pro wrestling juggernaut teamed up, with their track, “You Gotta Move,” being used as the official theme song for SummerSlam in 2009.
WrestleMania 42, also promoted as WrestleMania Vegas, is set to take place on April 18 and 19, 2026, at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada. Originally set to take place at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana, the 42nd edition of WWE’s long-running sports entertainment spectacle will be held at the venue for the second consecutive time, after this year’s WrestleMania 41.
