WWE keeps getting a lot of negative reactions for their
WrestleMania 43 in Saudi Arabia announcement and the recap
video which aired during the Worlds Collide show last night
was met with a lot of boos and “you sold out” chants from
the Vegas crowd.
The live announcement on YouTube also had several negative
feedback in the live chat yesterday and with over 600,000
views so far, the entry only has 14,500 likes. A service
which reveals how many dislikes a YouTube video has shows
that the WrestleMania announcement has nearly 39,000
dislikes on it.
There are unconfirmed rumors that WWE was paid in the region
of $250 million to bring WrestleMania to Riyadh in 2027, far
eclipsing any other fee which WWE received in its existence.
In comparison, every single WrestleMania from 1985 until
this year drew $400 million in ticket sales adjusted to
today’s dollar according to Wrestlenomics, so their site fee
alone will be over half of that for one event.
WWE currently receives $50 million per every show produced
in Saudi Arabia and it’s believed that they’re also getting
$100 million for the Royal Rumble in January 2026.
