Overview

  • Saudi GEA chairman Turki Alalshikh said in a since‑deleted Snapchat video that WrestleMania 43 will be held in Saudi Arabia in 2027, which would be the event’s first staging outside the United States or Canada.
  • PWInsider’s Mike Johnson characterized the news as 100% legitimate and indicated an official announcement is expected soon, with reports noting an Arabic press release briefly went out before being withdrawn.
  • WWE has not issued formal confirmation as of Sept. 11.
  • Saudi Arabia is already set to host the Royal Rumble in January 2026, reflecting WWE’s ongoing international expansion and a partnership that industry estimates value at roughly $50 million per Saudi PLE historically.
  • Some outlets report an unconfirmed deal near $100 million and suggest the full WrestleMania weekend could be included, with additional chatter about outreach to major legends remaining speculative.
