In a recent development, PWMania.com previously indicated that there are discussions about AEW hosting a major pay-per-view (PPV) event on the same weekend as WWE The showcase of the immortals 43 — which will take place in Saudi Arabia next year. Be that as it may, AEW has not yet provided any specific details regarding this event.
Sean Ross Sapp was asked about when AEW might announce its plans for The Grandest Stage of Them All weekend, in the latest edition of Fightful Select Answers Q&A. Currently, WWE has only acknowledged that WrestleMania 43 will be held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in April 2027. As an added layer to this, sapp predicted that this announcement will come after WWE reveals its own plans for WrestleMania 43. Along those lines, no final dates or venues have been disclosed, marking the latest WWE has ever waited to announce WrestleMania plans.
Sapp anticipates that WWE will announce the dates and venue during Crown Jewel week. He also mentioned that AEW has a clear idea of what they want to do, where they will host the special event, and their overall plans, as they have been discussing the episode since WrestleMania 43 was revealed.
Additionally, the moment was previously shared that during the AEW All Out media call, Tony Khan stated that the company is planning a “huge installment” in Spring 2027. Nevertheless, he did not provide any further details on whether the AEW pay-per-view would coincide with WrestleMania 43. Notably, WrestleMania 43 will be the initial WrestleMania ever held outside of North America.
