“WWE and Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority did not respond to questions from us about whether they are considering rescheduling or canceling the event due to the ongoing war in the Middle East.” (H/T: WrestlePurists on X)

The promotion is currently on the road to WWE WrestleMania 42 next month in Las Vegas. Next year’s WrestleMania event is scheduled to take place in Saudi Arabia as well. There have been recent reports that WrestleMania 43 is also in jeopardy of taking place in Saudi Arabia next year.

Former WWE writer reacts to WrestleMania in Saudi Arabia

Wrestling legend Vince Russo shared his thoughts on WrestleMania 43 taking place in Saudi Arabia next year.

Speaking on Writing with Russo, the veteran noted that wrestling fans might not be open to traveling across the world to attend The Show of Shows for several reasons.

“They have no idea where Saudi Arabia is. So when you tell them Saudi Arabia, they think it’s halfway across the world. They’ve got no idea where it is.” He continued, “So the fact of the matter is that this is halfway across the world. There’s gonna be stereotypes with those types of people, with these types of fans who are not educated, and then the money. The money is like third, bro. First, you don’t even know where it is, you don’t even think about going in. Second of all, am I going to be in danger? Is it safe? I think that’s the one that gonna turn the most people away because that’s the unknown.”

Only time will tell if the promotion decides to change plans for Night of Champions 2026 in the weeks ahead.
