WWE WrestleMania 43 is now inching closer, but the WWE Universe still does not have a confirmed date for the event. Previously reported to take place in Saudi Arabia next year, the promotion has not yet announced a date for the show.

However, WWE fans might not need to wait much longer for a confirmation. As per Fightful Select, the wrestling promotion hopes to reveal the date around WWE Crown Jewel in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on Nov. 7, 2026, that is, if an announcement doesn't come sooner.

The current delay seems to be closely linked to WWE's plans for Saudi Arabia. A WWE source revealed that the announcement of the WrestleMania date was delayed because of the event's association with Saudi Arabia.

Fightful Select also reported that Saudi Arabian representatives recently visited WWE HQ for kickoff meetings related to the event. The report also added that officials in Saudi Arabia want to make the upcoming WrestleMania 43 as big as possible, with plans already advancing.
