In September of last year, it was announced that WrestleMania 43 will take place in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia next year. WWE has not yet revealed all the details for the event, and some fans have expressed concerns about whether it will remain in the country amid rising regional conflict. Recently, Israel and the U.S. launched an attack on Iran, and the situation escalated when Iran targeted American bases in allied nations, including Saudi Arabia.
In a recent edition of Fightful Select Answers Q&A, a fan inquired about the possibility of relocating the event due to the ongoing conflict. It was noted that while “anything is possible,” there are currently no plans to move the show elsewhere. Sean Ross Sapp suggested that it would require “a lot more” for WWE to change the location, as there is a significant financial incentive for the company to keep the event in Saudi Arabia. He also mentioned that if WWE has not yet extended their deal with Saudi Arabia, they would be keen to do so.
Previously, it was reported that the 2026 Royal Rumble premium live event (PLE) in Saudi Arabia generated the typical $55 million for such events, while WrestleMania is expected to earn an even higher amount.
