At the time of writing, we are about six months away from WWE WrestleMania 43, which will take place in Saudi Arabia in April 2027. However, with the biggest show on WWE’s annual calendar less than half a year away, an official date for the event has yet to be announced, and according to a new report, that announcement is not on WWE’s top list.
By: WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful SelectWWE is in no rush to release a date for WrestleMania 43 for two specific reasons, one of which is the special circumstances surrounding the event. Given that this will be the first WrestleMania outside of North America, things will likely work a little differently when it comes to ticket distribution, especially in the host city of Riyadh. WWE actually wanted to get everything sorted and in order before the date was announced so that the run to WrestleMania would be as smooth as possible. Fightful Select previously spoke to sources in Saudi Arabia about WrestleMania, and those sources believed that WWE Crown Jewel 2026 could be the ideal place to announce the date considering that the event will also take place in Riyadh.
The other reason has to do with companies and promotions that may try to take advantage of WWE’s non-WWE country for WrestleMania weekend. Without announcing an official date, WWE sources stated that the state competition has been left in limbo, where they can’t schedule anything not just for WrestleMania weekend, but for the entire month of April. Many believe it AEW needs to put on a show to face WrestleMania as that company is likely to put on the equivalent of a WrestleMania spectacle, but the longer that date remains private, the harder it will be for anyone to plan anything.
