Saudi Arabian adviser Turki Al-Sheikh speaks about WWE WrestleMania 43 coming to Saudi Arabia and the news being leaked on social media.

In the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer discusses WWE WrestleMania heading to Saudi Arabia, John Cena’s remaining dates, and more.

The Showcase of the Immortals potentially emanating outside of North America for the first time in its four-decade history headlines this week's wrestling rumor mill and is joined by the latest on CM Punk and Stephanie Vaquer, as well as a devastating injury to an AEW star who just recently returned from a long hiatus.

Turki Alalshikh has made a major WWE announcement that could have a major impact on the company. Alalshikh is a high-profile Saudi Arabian sports promoter and has become one of the leading figures driving their involvement in global sport.

Saudi Arabia has suppressed women’s and LGBTQ rights in the past, and women in WWE weren’t able to perform at the early Saudi shows. That has changed over the years with more women competing at the Saudi events, and Pat McAfee gave credit to WWE and Triple H for bringing about the change.
