Rumors are swirling that the 2027 Wrestlemania will be held in Saudi Arabia. Cageside Seats reports that a deleted Snapchat by Turki Al-Sheikh which indicated that “Wrestlemania 43 will be the first-ever outside of the United States or Canada.”
WrestleMania 42 will take place for the second straight year in Las Vegas this April.
The WWE will hold Royal Rumble this January in Saudi Arabia. It will be the first time that the Royal Rumble franchise will take place there. It seemingly expands the partnership with the Saudi General Entertainment Authority for an estimated $50 million per premium live event.
There is no report on whether WWE will receive more for Royal Rumble or a Wrestlemania if it truly is going to be held in Saudi Arabia. But, the news that it may head to Saudi Arabia is in line with what seems to be a hyper-speed attempt by TKO to monetize as much and as many events it can out of its properties. The partnership with Saudi Arabi is polarizing due to its social and political beliefs.
