Note On Expected Status Of WrestleMania 43 In Saudi Arabia Amid Iran War

A new report has a note about WrestleMania 43’s status amid the current war in Iran. As announced in September, next year’s WrestleMania will emanate from Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. WWE has yet to announce all the details for the show, and some fans have questioned if it will remain in the country as conflict rises in the region. Israel and the United States launched an attack on Iran on February 28th, and the conflict has spread to nearby countries as Iran has struck American bases on allies including Saudi Arabia.

A fan asked in the latest Fightful Select Answers Q&A if there was any chance of the show moving due to the conflict. The answer notes that while “anything is possible,” there are currently no plans to host the show elsewhere.

Sean Ross Sapp suggested that it would take “a lot more” for the event not to take place in the country as there’s too much money involved for WWE to move the show. Sapp noted, as you would likely expect, that if WWE hasn’t extended their deal with Saudi Arabia then they will want to do so.

It was reported that the 2026 Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia earned the typical $55 million for a Saudi PLE, while WrestleMania is expected to fetch a far greater price.
