WrestleMania will reportedly be held outside North America for the first time. Saudi Arabia is expected to host WrestleMania 43 in 2027. Turki Al-Sheikh, Saudi Arabian Minister and Chairman of the General Entertainment Authority, discussed the news in a Snapchat video. An Arabic press release was also issued temporarily. Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com reports that while the press release was pulled, “The story is 100% legitimate and an announcement is coming very soon.”
Powell’s POV: Once the 2026 Royal Rumble will be held in Saudi Arabia, it seemed l ike it was only a matter of time before WWE’s premier event would follow. I get that money talks and TKO has a strong alliance with the Saudi government, but it’s a shame that London won’t host the first international WrestleMania. Obviously, we’ll let you know if WWE makes an official announcement.
Horrible
You can understand the desperation though, TKO still don’t yet own all the money in the world so need to do something.
