• Big Event Won’t Take Place In Saudi Arabia In 2027

Even though WrestleMania 43 will take place in Saudi Arabia, the NXT brand likely won’t be making the trip. According to WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select, the current plan is to hold NXT Stand & Deliver as its own separate event once again next year, rather than part of the big WrestleMania week activities.

This year, NXT held their biggest show outside of the immediate WrestleMania bubble, and it seems the company liked the results enough to do it again.

By keeping the two shows separate, it gives the NXT stars their own spotlight and avoids the logistical headache of flying the entire developmental roster to Saudi Arabia.
