Saudi Government Official Seemingly Teases Hosting WrestleMania 43
WWE’s strategic partnership with Saudi Arabia saw fruition in 2018.
The 10-year deal is a part of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and initially involved the Stamford promotion hosting two pay-per-view events annually in the country.
As of August 2025, the company has hosted 13 PLEs while abiding by the partnership’s terms.
For the first time, a Royal Rumble event will move outside North America in 2026. With this announcement, speculations about WrestleMania heading to Saudi Arabia gained momentum.
Initially, Fightful reported its sources saying WWE did not plan to hold a WrestleMania in the UK or Saudi Arabia before 2028. But a more recent update suggests it may happen sooner.
