Bully Ray Isn’t Shocked That Wrestlemania 43 Will Happen in Saudi Arabia

As previously reported, WWE will take Wrestlemania 43 to Saudi Arabia, where it is scheduled to take place in 2027. This comes after the news that the country will also get the Royal Rumble in 2026. In the latest episode of Busted Open Radio (via Wrestling Inc), Bully Ray said that he’s not shocked WWE is taking their biggest show of the year to the country.

He said: “I’m not shocked at all. Not that I expected it, I’m just not shocked because of what the WWE is doing with their ticket prices. People are now getting to the point where they’re b*****n,’ moaning, complaining about the ticket prices. It seems like little by little, the average family, the average joe, is struggling to afford tickets to a WWE show despite the fact that they’re sold out. But, it’s getting more difficult. Eventually, you’re gonna cap out, and people aren’t gonna be able to afford your show, and you’re gonna start seeing empty seats. Where is money not an issue? Money is not an issue there [Saudi]. Saudi, it’s gonna be the first time WrestleMania is on that side of the planet. The Saudi government is gonna pay out the wazoo, and they won’t blink an eye.“
