Is WWE WrestleMania 43 going to Saudi Arabia? What we know

WWE could be taking WrestleMania to Saudi Arabia in 2027.

Fans in the UK have been clamouring for the Show of Shows to be brought to London, and with the 2026 location already confirmed for Las Vegas, we were hoping the following year could be our time.

Overnight there have been rumblings that the 2027 dates could see WWE take WrestleMania international by holding the two night extravaganza outside North America for the first time ever.

Currently nothing is confirmed, but Saudi Arabia seems to be high on the list given the pro wrestling giant’s longstanding partnership with the kingdom.

Already, WWE is taking the Royal Rumble international for the first time with the 2026 edition hailing from Riyadh, and fans had speculated that WrestleMania wouldn’t be far behind.

Here’s everything we know so far.

It’s important to note, nothing is official – and as New Orleans recently found out, even an announcement can be changed.

Overnight though, there are reports that a press release in Arabic was accidentally sent out early to members of the press revealing the news, before it was quickly pulled.

However, PWInsider has claimed that the announcement is legitimate, with official confirmation apparently set for Friday in Las Vegas, where TKO’s WWE will hold Worlds Collide on the eve of Saturday’s Terence Crawford vs. Canelo Alvarez fight.

It’s also alleged that Saudi Arabian adviser Turki Alalshikh said in a since-deleted Snapchat video: ‘WrestleMania has been announced, for the first time outside of America, WrestleMania in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia 2027.’
