WWE plans WrestleMania 2027 in Saudi Arabia

WWE is reportedly preparing for WrestleMania 2027 to be held in Saudi Arabia, marking the first time the event will take place outside of North America. Saudi Arabian officials recently visited WWE Headquarters for kickoff meetings to ensure the event is as large as possible.

The official date for WrestleMania 43 has not yet been released, which sources suggest is due to the event's close connection to Saudi Arabian planning. An announcement may be made around November 7, coinciding with the WWE Crown Jewel event in Riyadh. Construction for the Crown Jewel event is scheduled to begin this week at the temporary Riyadh Seasonal Stadium.

The delay in announcing the WrestleMania date has reportedly caused independent wrestling promotions to hold off on their own scheduling, as they wait to see how a WrestleMania weekend held outside the United States will impact the industry landscape.
