WWE Sale To Saudi Arabia Could Be Announced At WrestleMania

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia could purchase WWE in the near future.

Ever since the Stamford promotion ceased being an independent company in September 2023, talks about its potential sale have prevailed.

In April 2023, Endeavor announced its agreement to acquire the World Wrestling Entertainment, and the deal was finalized in September. The American conglomerate also has the full ownership of UFC since 2021.

Over the last couple of months, there existed rumors that one of the upcoming WrestleMania events could be held in Saudi Arabia.

On September 12, Paul “Triple H” Levesque confirmed that the 2027 show will leave North America for the first time in its 40+ years of history.

In 2018, WWE had signed a 10-year deal with Saudi Arabia to host premier events in the country as part of Saudi Vision 2030 program. The promotion’s last visit to the Kingdom was in June 2025 for the Night of Champions PLE.

As soon as the news of WrestleMania in Saudi Arabia broke, the WWE Universe has been split in its opinion.

If it’s not gonna be now, it’s gonna be sometime in the future leading to 2030, which is a huge date for Saudi Arabia.
