Kevin Nash Predicts WWE Will Go Twice-Yearly With WrestleMania

Kevin Nash isn’t losing any sleep over WrestleMania 43 heading to Saudi Arabia—and he thinks fans shouldn’t either.

The WWE Hall of Famer used his Kliq This podcast to defend WWE’s decision to take its biggest show of the year overseas for the first time in company history.

While some fans are furious that WrestleMania 43 won’t be held in North America, Nash says it’s time to zoom out and think globally.

“It’s like, well, when does America get it? Like, you know, but by them saying they’re going to take the WrestleMania to Saudi Arabia, it’s like, and I could see they just changed up the one coming up and went, Oh, by the way, we’re not going to Vegas. We’re going to Saudi [Arabia].”

Nash made it clear that the scale of WrestleMania makes the move justified, especially when the event reaches hundreds of thousands of people across the world—even if some Americans feel left out.

“They’re giving you two fucking WrestleManias to prepare for them to go to Saudi… even if there’s 100,000 people that go to WrestleMania and another 100,000 people go to the city… And that’s taken away from the States. It’s still the people that are watching it worldwide, you know. And you’ve got it. You’ve always—it’s a World Wrestling Entertainment for the first fucking W is world. It’s not US, WWE. And I just look at it and I say, going to Saudi Arabia, to me, is huge.”

But Nash didn’t stop there. He went on to predict an even bigger future for the event.

“No, because I guarantee you, by the, by the time you get to that WrestleMania, the WrestleMania be twice a year, right? Come on. They’ve already expanded it to get to two days.”

The move to Saudi Arabia has sparked criticism, especially because of the country’s controversial human rights record. WWE’s press conference announcing WrestleMania 43 was closed to both the public and the media—likely in an effort to control potential backlash. Still, the Saudi government’s multi-billion-dollar deal with WWE continues to reshape the company’s strategy in a major way.

With Royal Rumble 2026 also set for Riyadh, and WrestleMania 43 locked in for 2027, Nash’s prediction of two WrestleManias per year might not be as far off as it sounds.
