A report from PWInsider claimed that despite recent speculation regarding WWE’s international event schedule, the company is continuing to move forward with its plans to stage WrestleMania 43 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with preparations for the historic event remaining active behind the scenes. Earlier this month, representatives from Saudi Arabia visited WWE headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut, where discussions reportedly took place concerning WrestleMania 43 and the extensive logistical planning required for the event.

As is standard procedure for WWE’s events in Saudi Arabia, the company is expected to maintain contingency measures and alternative plans should circumstances require adjustments. The Stamfoprd-based promotion will also continue working closely with private security firms that operate in the region, ensuring safety.

While there has been speculation within the wrestling industry in recent days suggesting that the promotion may already have domestic backup locations in mind in case WrestleMania needs to be relocated, sources within the company have indicated that it is still too early for any formal relocation plans to have been established. Those same sources did acknowledge, however, that contingency discussions have taken place regarding November’s Crown Jewel event, with the company evaluating potential alternatives should ongoing instability in the Middle East and North Africa region force the company to change course.

The Stamford-based promotion’s President Nick Khan is certainly excited to see WrestleMania take place outside North America.

In an interview on The Varsity, Nick Khan stated:

“It’s never been outside of the US or Canada. It’s going to be in Riyadh. It’s going to be a significant show. We’re already across the creative. Of course, that’s subject to any injury… we’re already across the creative,” he said.

It remains to be seen how WrestleMania 43 pans out.
