Will Ospreay Thinks AEW Should Heavily Consider Running A Big Weekend While WrestleMania Is In Saudi Arabia

Will Ospreay weighs in on the possibility of AEW taking advantage of WrestleMania in Saudi Arabia.

WWE will travel to Saudi Arabia for WrestleMania in 2027, leaving a major US weekend open for events. WrestleMania has become the yearly destination, not only for wrestling fans, but for wrestlig promotions as dozens of events run throughout the week featuring talent from all companies.

With WWE in Saudi, it is unclear what will happen to the indies during that week and weekend.

Speaking to Josh Martinez, Will Ospreay was asked about the possibility of using his connections to put together a major weekend in the US while WWE is in Saudi.

“It has crossed my mind, especially hearing [WrestleMania] would be going to Saudi Arabia. Why not? There are going to be a bunch of wrestling fans that usually flock to whatever city they are in and it’s something we should heavily consider. I hope our boss [Tony Khan] is considering it. I think the best thing we can do, on that day that WrestleMania is in Saudi Arabia, make affordable tickets for one of the greatest wrestling shows ever and make it a whole week. Ring of Honor on Saturday. Help out a bunch of Indie promotions on Friday. We can definitely formulate such a great, affordable time for wrestling fans and families. If we don’t look at that, what’s the point of doing it?” he pondered.

WrestleMania 43 is still one year away with plenty of time to shake out.

Elsewhere during the interview, Ospreay commented on TNA pulling talent from indie matches against AEW opponents. You can find his full comments here.
