WWE’s Big Play to Bring WrestleMania to Saudi Arabia in 2027

For decades, WrestleMania has been WWE’s crown jewel, the one night when months of storytelling, rivalries, and build-ups all come together on the grandest stage possible. It is not just wrestling’s biggest night, it is a pop culture event that has gone from a one day spectacle in the 1980s to a two night blockbuster in recent years.

But now it looks like WWE might be ready to push the boundaries even further. According to the Wrestling Observer, the company is floating the idea of holding two WrestleManias in the same year, one in North America as usual and another potentially in Saudi Arabia in 2027.

That is right, for the first time ever, the biggest event in professional wrestling could be doubled up.

Saudi Arabia’s Big WrestleMania Push

This is not just a casual rumour. Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority chairman, Turki Alalshikh, recently took to X with a cryptic tease about “a giant entertainment event” in 2027. While he did not mention WWE by name, insiders believe he was hinting at a WrestleMania-level show.

And when Saudi Arabia sets its sights on something, they do not usually think small. Reports suggest they are lobbying hard to bring WrestleMania to the Kingdom, with a clear aim of making it one of the most star-studded events in WWE history. According to the Wrestling Observer, they even want Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in the main event.

It is easy to see why they would be interested. WWE’s partnership with Saudi Arabia has grown steadily since the two signed a lucrative 10 year deal back in 2018. Since then, the Kingdom has hosted some of the company’s biggest international events, including Crown Jewel, Elimination Chamber and the massive Greatest Royal Rumble.

In fact, in 2026, Riyadh will host the Royal Rumble, the first time that iconic match will take place outside North America. If that is not a sign of Saudi Arabia’s growing role in WWE’s global plans, nothing is.

Two WrestleManias in One Year Could Be a Game Changer

If WWE moves forward with the plan, the idea would not be to replace the US based WrestleMania, but to create a second, equally massive show later in the year. Think of it like a Super WrestleMania, a sister event that is not just another pay per view but something with the same level of spectacle, scale, and global attention.

From a business standpoint, it makes perfect sense. WWE could hit two huge markets in one calendar year, tap into entirely different time zones and audiences, and cash in on the staggering financial offers Saudi Arabia is reportedly willing to put on the table.

 For fans, the idea is a little more complicated. WrestleMania has always been special because it is rare, the one night everyone works toward all year. Adding a second could be exciting, but it could risk diluting that magic.
