Nick Khan has confirmed that WWE already has advanced the creative work for WrestleMania 43, which will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The executive highlighted the importance of the event as it will be the first time WrestleMania is held outside of the United States and Canada, emphasizing the goal of offering a memorable show for the fans.

In an interview with The Varsity, Khan revealed that the creative plans for WrestleMania 43 are already set. "It had never been held outside of the United States or Canada. It's going to be in Riyadh. It's going to be a significant event," he declared. "We are already in the creative process. Of course, that is subject to any injury... but we are already in the creative process," he added.

Viewing parties and parallel events

Khan also spoke about the parallel activities that WWE has planned for WrestleMania weekend. The company has announced two events at the MSG Theater in New York. "We have announced two events at the MSG Theater. On the WrestleMania Saturday, there will be a viewing party followed by NXT or AAA. And the next day, at the MSG Theater, another viewing party, followed by NXT or AAA, whichever one didn't go on the Saturday night," he explained.

"We are also going to host viewing parties and all of this from the United States and other countries. We believe that, ultimately, the fans will go home happy," Khan concluded.

A few months ago, WWE announced viewing parties in New York during WrestleMania 43 weekend, which will include NXT and AAA shows.
