Next year’s WWE WrestleMania will take place in Saudi Arabia, Riyadh. So far, an official date for when the event is scheduled to take place hasn’t been announced, but one can expect the premium live event to take place between late March and early April.
This will be the first WrestleMania to take place outside of North America. Every year, around WrestleMania week, a lot of other promotions also hold their shows to capitalize on the high demand.
But since next year’s show takes place in the Middle East, this leaves an opportunity for AEW to hold an event in North America around WrestleMania week instead.
