The report also notes they have a specific headliner in mind for the monumental show.WWE WrestleMania In Saudi Arabia?The Observer's report states that not only is there a belief that WrestleMania will come to the Kingdom in 2027, but there is a strong push for Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson to headline the event. The idea of two WrestleManias in one year has reportedly been discussed as a way to make this happen without moving the traditional North American event.This would be a monumental step in the long-term partnership between WWE and Saudi Arabia. It would take their business relationship to an entirely new level.A Lucrative WWE PartnershipSince 2018, WWE has had a highly profitable 10-year partnership with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to produce two large-scale premium live events in the country each year. These events, such as Crown Jewel and King & Queen of the Ring, have become a major part of the WWE calendar and have featured some of the company's biggest matches.More news: WWE Superstar Announces Retirement MatchWhile the partnership has been a source of controversy at times, it is an undeniable financial success for WWE's parent company, TKO Group Holdings.
