WWE has postponed the announcement of WrestleMania 43 dates, which are expected to take place in Riyadh next spring. The delay is attributed to WWE's strategic considerations regarding potential competition from AEW, which may host its own event during the WrestleMania weekend. Sources suggest WWE might have planned for April 10 and 11 but chose not to confirm the dates to maintain a competitive edge over AEW. Although WrestleMania will be held outside North America for the first time, WWE has scheduling events in New York City to counter any AEW plans. No official AEW events have been confirmed.
