It’s been apparent that WWE has had a business relationship with The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Since 2018, the partnership has only grown. Next year’s Royal Rumble will take place in Riyadh. For fans who can’t make that trek, the broadcast will be available on ESPN platforms in the United States. Viewers across the globe can also catch the Royal Rumble on Netflix. It’s been a highly-speculated about move for many fans. And, the announcement of this WrestleMania development is the firm confirmation of those whispers.

In a statement, HE Turki Alalshikh said: “WrestleMania is already the biggest date on the wrestling calendar and this announcement marks a significant moment in our partnership with WWE. We deeply respect the legacy of WrestleMania and the global prestige it holds among wrestling fans around the world. As part of Riyadh Season in 2027, our vision is to elevate this iconic event to unprecedented heights and deliver a WrestleMania unlike anything the world has ever seen.”
