WWE's global appeal has reached an all-time high with events being held outside of the United States on a more regular basis, including some of the company's biggest pay-per-view showcases. However, for the first time ever, WWE is now prepared to host its biggest event of them all in a foreign nation come 2027.

On Friday, WWE and Triple H revealed to its massive fanbase that WrestleMania 43 will be coming to Saudi Arabia as the country seeks out more sporting events in the lead up to future bids for the Olympic Games and FIFA World Cup. The event will take place during "Riyadh Season" as WWE's footprint in the region continues to grow after first debuting in the country back in 2018.

While other sports have already been making regular appearances in Riyadh, such as UFC, boxing, tennis and the Saudi Pro League investing heavily in major soccer stars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar and others, WWE is hoping to make its own impression with its top PPV draw being held outside of North America for the first time.

Recently, Triple H and the company revealed that their biggest shows will be coming to ESPN as part of a new long-term deal that will give WWE its biggest exposure ever after recently having its events shown via NBC's Peacock streaming service.
