WrestleMania 43 will be taking place in Riyadh, in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and there are plenty of people who are really unhappy over this move. However, it appears that RVD has actually defended WrestleMania 43 taking place in Saudi Arabia.
While speaking on the 1 of a Kind podcast, RVD revealed his thoughts on WrestleMania 43 being held in Saudi Arabia and said he sees it mainly as a business decision. From what he has read online, there is a lot of money involved, both for WWE and for many of the wrestlers, so he doesnt see a problem with the move.
RVD wondered whether international fans will travel to Saudi Arabia to attend the show and pointed out that this is a key reason why cities want WrestleMania to bring in tourism.
The Whole Fn Show believes fans who already travel long distances, like from Japan or England to the United States, might also be willing to travel to Saudi Arabia instead, as it is simply a different direction on the map.
RVD compared WWEs schedule to giving fans birthday cake all year long. In his view, taking just one big show to a new location like Saudi Arabia still leaves fans with plenty of events to enjoy, so he feels they are spoiled.
WWE was paid $250,000 by Saudi Arabia to hold WrestleMania 43 there in 2027, so its clearly a business decision and the company will do whats best for business.
Many wrestling fans dont like WWEs plan to hold WrestleMania 43 in Saudi Arabia, but RVD thinks its a smart business move that will pay well for the company and wrestlers. He believes true WrestleMania fans will travel no matter where the show is and says there are already plenty of wrestling events around the world for fans to enjoy.
