A Record-Breaking Rumble and Beyond
The 2026 WWE Royal Rumble event has left fans buzzing with excitement and speculation. The highly-anticipated pay-per-view event took place at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas, and it did not disappoint. With a record-breaking number of eliminations and a surprise winner of the men’s Royal Rumble match, the evening was full of upsets and shocking moments.
However, as the dust settled and the curtains closed on the Alamodome, one question began to circulate among fans and pundits alike: what does the future hold for WrestleMania 43? Specifically, will the grandest stage of them all be a two-night extravaganza from Saudi Arabia next year?
According to a WWE insider, the possibility of a two-night WrestleMania 43 is a topic that has been discussed internally within the company. The insider revealed that WWE officials have been exploring various options for the 2027 event, including the possibility of hosting it in Saudi Arabia. The source stated:
“The idea of a two-night WrestleMania has been floated around, and it’s definitely something that’s being considered. With the success of the dual-branded pay-per-view events, WWE is always looking for ways to innovate and offer fans more content. However, there are a lot of logistical and financial considerations that need to be taken into account before making any final decisions.”
A Successful Royal Rumble and Its Ramifications
The 2026 Royal Rumble event was a resounding success, with a sold-out crowd at the Alamodome and a record-breaking number of eliminations in the men’s Royal Rumble match. The event saw a surprise winner emerge, as Cody Rhodes outlasted 29 other competitors to claim the coveted number one contender spot for the WWE Championship.
Rhodes’ victory has significant implications for the WWE Championship picture, with many fans speculating about a potential match between Rhodes and the reigning champion, Roman Reigns. With the “Big Dog” having successfully defended his title against a host of challengers, it’s unclear whether Rhodes will be able to dethrone him at WrestleMania 42.
