WWE announced that WrestleMania 43 will take place in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 2027, marking the first time the company’s biggest annual event will be held outside North America. The news was revealed Friday during a YouTube live stream from Las Vegas, featuring WWE stars including Triple H, The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, Seth Rollins, Logan Paul, Bianca Belair, Liv Morgan, Stephanie Vaquer, and Charlotte Flair.
WWE first partnered with Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Sport in 2018 through a 10-year deal to host annual shows, and the company has since held numerous Premium Live Events in Riyadh and Jeddah. WWE Chief Content Officer Paul Levesque, also known as Triple H, called the announcement a historic step, describing it as “our first foray into doing our Super Bowl in an international market.” Saudi Arabia will also host the 2026 Royal Rumble, another of WWE’s top annual events.
Next year’s WrestleMania, titled “The Showcase of the Immortals,” will return to Las Vegas, after initially being announced for New Orleans. WrestleMania has become a two-night event in recent years and, aside from WrestleMania VI and X8 in Toronto, has traditionally been held in the United States. Fans in Europe had hoped that cities like London or Paris would be the first to host the event overseas.
