WWE Considers Second 2027 WrestleMania in Saudi Arabia Headlined by The Rock

Pressure from Saudi organizers to book Dwayne Johnson as headliner coincides with a leadership rift at TKO over creative control.

Overview

  • WWE is exploring an international WrestleMania in Saudi Arabia in 2027 alongside the traditional U.S. edition, potentially creating two marquee events in one year.
  • Saudi General Entertainment Authority sources are advocating for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson to lead the Saudi show, citing his global draw and board role at TKO.
  • The ‘Super WrestleMania’ concept would add the Saudi event without disrupting the established North American WrestleMania calendar.
  • This proposal builds on WWE’s 10-year partnership with Saudi Arabia, which has delivered annual Crown Jewel and King & Queen of the Ring events and will host the 2026 Royal Rumble in Riyadh.
  • Reports of a power struggle between Johnson and Chief Content Officer Triple H at TKO suggest internal dynamics may determine whether the Saudi WrestleMania moves forward.
