Details On Why WrestleMania 43 Date Wasn’t Announced At WWE Crown Jewel

WWE Crown Jewel came and went without a WrestleMania 43 date announcement, and one report suggests a reason why. Crown Jewel took place this past weekend and while it was widely expected that the promotion would announce the dates for WrestleMania 43 in Saudi Arabia, that ultimately did not come to pass.

It was noted on the latest Wresting Observer Radio (courtesy of Wrestling Inc) that the move is a bit of “political jockeying” with AEW. WWE is said to be keeping the dates quite so that they can keep people guessing including AEW, making the other company hold off on any potential announcement for plans around the WrestleMania window.

That news lines up with a report from Fightful Select in early October that said WWE was keeping US competition (including AEW) in limbo and making it harder for them to to plan major events, either around WrestleMania or in general when planning the PPV calendar.

It has been reported that WWE has an internal date of April 10th and 11th set for the PLE, though again it has not been officially announced.
