WrestleMania 43 in 2027 will be hosted in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia!
A new contender has officially entered the race to host WWE WrestleMania 44, as Nashville pushes forward with a significant bid for WWE’s biggest annual spectacle.
According to Bryan Alvarez, Nashville has submitted an offer worth $3.5 million along with additional tax breaks, positioning itself as a serious candidate for the 2028 event. WWE has yet to confirm the final location.
With WrestleMania 43 already scheduled for Saudi Arabia, the 2028 edition remains the next available opportunity for a U.S.-based host city.
Nashville wants to host WrestleMania 44
Nashville’s proposal is backed by more than just financial incentives. The city is preparing to host the event at the upcoming Titans stadium, a $2.2 billion venue expected to seat 60,000 fans and be completed in February 2027.
The Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp confirmed it is actively working with WWE to finalize a potential date, signaling that discussions have moved beyond early-stage interest.
This development follows previous reports that WWE had initially considered Nashville for WrestleMania 2027, contingent on the stadium’s completion timeline. When that window closed, both parties shifted focus to a future event.
Hosting WrestleMania is a lucrative opportunity for any city. The event is known to generate over $300 million in local economic impact, making it one of the most sought-after annual sporting and entertainment events.
Cities typically submit comprehensive bids that include financial commitments, tax incentives, and logistical support. Nashville’s package reflects that standard, while also leveraging its growing reputation as a major live-event destination.
WWE President Nick Khan recently teased the announcement, stating: “Wait until you hear the announcement on where we’re going to be for WrestleMania in 2028.” However, he did not reveal any specific location.
Nashville has never hosted WrestleMania
While Nashville has never hosted WrestleMania, it has a strong track record with WWE events. The city hosted SummerSlam 2022 at Nissan Stadium, along with Night of Champions in 2014 and Judgment Day in 2002.
Those successful events strengthen Nashville’s case as a capable host for WWE’s flagship show. Combined with a brand-new stadium and strong financial backing, the city presents a compelling option.
As WWE evaluates its choices, Nashville now stands firmly among the leading candidates to host WrestleMania 44 in 2028.
