WrestleMania is heading overseas for the first time ever, and Nick Khan says WWE isnt worried about where the show happens. While speaking at the SBJ CAA World Congress of Sports in Los Angeles, WWE President Nick Khan confirmed that WrestleMania 43 in 2027 will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The move marks the first time the companys biggest event will be held outside the United States or Canada. Khan made it clear this isnt a one-off decision and pointed to WWEs ongoing partnership with Saudi Arabia as a major factor behind the move. The decision continues WWEs trend of running major events outside North America, something Khan believes fans will support no matter where the show is held. Khan also addressed criticism surrounding WWEs continued relationship with Saudi Arabia. According to reports from the event, he downplayed negative reactions and described critics as a small portion of the audience rather than a widespread concern. Khan referred to those criticizing the move as a vocal minority and mentioned that WWE decisions are based on measurable performance including ratings, revenue, and overall relevance. Saudi Arabia has already hosted several major WWE events in recent years, including the 2026 Royal Rumble earlier this year. Now, bringing WrestleMania there takes the partnership to an entirely new level. Moving WrestleMania outside North America marks one of the biggest location changes in the events history, and it could reshape how WWE plans major shows going forward.Do you think Wrestle Mania being held in Saudi Arabia is a good move for WWE, or should the event stay in North America?
