WWE set to earn $150 million for WrestleMania in Riyadh

WWE will reportedly receive $150 million from the Saudi Arabian government for holding WrestleMania 43 in Riyadh next year, according to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio. This significant amount comes amid ongoing travel warnings issued by the United States government and a Level 3 advisory against traveling to Saudi Arabia. Meltzer noted that WWE is keen to maintain their relationship with Saudi Arabia, which could prevent any cancellation of scheduled events like Crown Jewel, set for November 7, 2026. Contingency plans are in place for potential changes should travel advisories intensify.
