Next year, WrestleMania will be hosted overseas for the first time in history when the 43rd edition of the event is held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Since the 1980s, a major professional wrestling event has always taken place on U.S soil during the month of March or April because of WrestleMania, but with WWE bringing the event to Saudi Arabia, many fans have questioned if AEW will take advantage.AEW's biggest show of the year, All In, was just hosted at Wembley Stadium in London, England for the third time in four years. Traditionally, All In takes place in August, leading many to believe that AEW could move the pay-per-view to April in order to counter-program WrestleMania next year, but WWE Hall Of Famer Jeff Jarrett doesn't see it happening."Idon't think that would be the play ...I'm very curious asthings roll out and you hear rumblings, but I think there's a lot of buzzfor the 2027 calendar. I think the 2027 calendar is going to be the most anticipated calendar in a long,long time because you have the first Mania not done on U.S soil which leaves the gaping hole ofthem fellas that just ran Wembley, where are they going to place a show in that time frame? Then you also have, wedid All In twice in Wembley. It's the big one. It's where kind of it all got cranked up. Then we went to Texasand then we just came back. So where's August going to be?" Jarrett explained on "My World." "The calendar of 2027 for everyone, all eyes on that."Earlier this summer, it was reported that WWE is expecting AEW to have some sort of presence in the U.S during WrestleMania weekend. That said, the Connecticut-based promotion has already prepared for any competition, having scheduled NXT Stand & Deliver and AAA Eternal Glory at the Infosys Theater at Madison Square Garden over WrestleMania weekend.If you use any of the quotes in this article, please credit "My World" with a h/t to Wrestling Inc. for the transcription.
