Update On WWE Potentially Holding WrestleMania In Saudi Arabia

WWE's biggest show of the year in WrestleMania is highly sought after, with cities around the world looking to bring the event to their town, even offering WWE millions of dollars to do so.

WWE have been in a partnership with Saudi Arabia since 2018 and the Chairman of Saudi Arabia's General Entertainment Authority Turki Alalshikh has long made it clear he would like WrestleMania to take place in Saudi Arabia. The 2026 Royal Rumble has already been announced for Riyadh.

While Saudi Arabia may want WrestleMania, it doesn't look set to happen anytime soon. Fightful Select has reported they haven't heard of a Saudi Arabia WrestleMania being on the cards in the coming years. A longtime WWE employee believes if a WrestleMania were to take place in the Middle East, it would be later in the year and billed as 'Super WrestleMania', similar to 2018's infamous Greatest Royal Rumble.

One city looking to land WrestleMania is London, but money is the main stumbling block to the Showcase of the Immortals emanating from the capital of the United Kingdom. More WrestleManias look set to take place in Las Vegas, though, with it being noted that WWE may run Las Vegas on a regular basis.
