It's funny that Nick Khan says everything besides the big 4 are open for business and everyone is like "okay but we're an exception right?" :lol Saudis probably actually are tho

Rumble could be a possibility though they'd never be able to keep any surprises under wraps so it would have to be a pretty formulaic one. Mania I would still give a slight chance if the money is right but I think that's one event they really wanna keep in the US despite the UK teases.

I’ve actually talked with my dad about how I think having Mania at multiple locations might actually work now with the two night thing :lol but I suggested two places in America haha, or at least North America, maybe have one in like Canada. But yeah it would be costly.

I guess they didn't buy The Greatest Royal Rumble as an actual big deal after all.

Wasn't there a few old manias that were they had a few matches in different cities? they could do something like that but some of them could be taped because of time differences. spoilers would be a bitch tho.

They did it once, I believe it was the second one. 3 cities.

Just WrestleMania 2. They did 3 locations, basically an hour at each one. NWA tried it with Starrcade too in the 80s. Idk about monetary success but they didn't come off well watching

Honestly feel like that would cause way more headaches than putting the whole event in Saudi tbh :lol

Yeah you'd have to do split crews obviously, talent, crew, everything. Don't see it happening at all

Even if all that wasn't an issue, for the US folk you'd want to know who the hell is going to be on the card when the tickets go on sale but obviously that isn't possible :lmao
