Turki Al-Sheikh Makes Major WWE WrestleMania 43 Promise
WWE WrestleMania 43 is going to take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This will be the first time the premium live event will be held outside North America.
The chairman of the General Entertainment Authority (GEA) of Saudi Arabia, Turki Al-Sheikh, recently addressed WrestleMania 43 taking place in Saudi Arabia next year in his latest Instagram post. He promised that next year’s Showcase of Immortals is going to be a memorable one and urged fans not to miss it.
He wrote: Riyadh Season Memories: In 2027, we are bringing WrestleMania, and for the first time ever it will take place outside of North America. I promise you will not want to miss this one. See you in Riyadh.

The Saudi Arabian government intends to give fans a once-in-a-lifetime experience next year at WrestleMania 43, and to do so, rumors claim that they are planning to bring in The Rock to appear and wrestle at the event with a huge money offer.
Word on the street is that The Rock will probably face Roman Reigns in a dream match that has been discussed in WWE for a while now.
The match was heavily teased for WrestleMania 40, where The Rock wanted to face Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Championship. But at the time, Cody Rhodes was chasing Roman Reigns’ title. Therefore, fan backlash forced WWE to book Cody Rhodes vs. Roman Reigns instead.
Potential Opponent For Roman Reigns At WWE WrestleMania 43
Saudi Arabia could finally make the dream match between The Rock and Roman Reigns happen at WrestleMania 43, but The Rock is a busy man, so it is uncertain whether it will happen.
A report from Self Made Pro has stated that if The Rock vs. Roman Reigns doesn’t happen, WWE might pivot to booking Roman Reigns vs. Oba Femi at WrestleMania 43.
So I talked to someone in WWE, right? There’s a lot of moving pieces right now and they’re still unclear, at least as far as I’m aware, as far as the people I spoke to are aware, I should say. Right now, if Dwayne’s not doing Mania, then they’re looking to do Oba Femi and Roman at Mania.
