Negotiations Near For The Rock WWE WrestleMania 43 Saudi Arabia

WrestleMania 43 is confirmed to take place in Saudi Arabia in 2027, marking the first time the event will be held outside the United States, with the Saudi General Entertainment Authority playing a key role in organizing the show. Negotiations are reportedly advanced to feature Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in the main event, potentially against Cody Rhodes or Roman Reigns, with his participation significantly influencing the event's final financial terms. Sources indicate that The Rock's payout for the event would be a record-breaking sum, multiple times higher than any previous wrestler's earnings for a single event, emphasizing Saudi Arabia's intent to host the most star-studded wrestling show ever. The Rock has not appeared on WWE TV since the Elimination Chamber event and is currently undergoing a physical transformation for his acting career, which might require him to bulk up again for a WWE return. WWE has yet to officially confirm the event or The Rock's involvement, though an official announcement for WrestleMania 43 is expected soon. This expansion of WWE's Saudi partnership highlights the kingdom's strategy to become a hub for major global sports and entertainment events.
