There have been many discussions about this recently WWE WrestleMania 43 among people concerned about the show taking place in Saudi Arabia. This is due to the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East which have recently reached a point where US Department of State American citizens have been advised not to travel to Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, due to fears of possible attacks from Iran.
Naturally, there have been concerns about WWE going to Saudi Arabia Crown Jewel Premium Live Event on November 7th since that show is more recent, back an emergency plan is being developed in case the Crown Jewel is to be moved out of Saudi Arabia. As for WrestleMania 43, it’s still full steam ahead. According to Fightful Select who spoke to sources close to events in Saudi Arabia, those in the country want to make WrestleMania 43 as big as possible, and that representatives from Saudi Arabia visited WWE headquarters a few weeks ago to begin matches for the show.
A date for WrestleMania 43 has yet to be announced, but Saudi sources told Fightful Select that they hope the date will be announced very soon, as several independent promotions will also be waiting to see if any other promotions will take advantage of the show outside of North America. The reason why this hasn’t been announced at the time of writing is due to WrestleMania being in conjunction with Saudi Arabia, and that the upcoming Crown Jewel event could potentially be a reveal day.
As for Crown Jewel, Riyadh’s seasonal stadium, where the show will be held, will be built specifically for the event, and construction of the site for Crown Jewel will begin this week, according to Saudi sources.
