Tony Khan comments on counter-programming WWE's WrestleMania in Saudi Arabia

WWE is set to host one of its biggest WrestleMania events of all time in Saudi Arabia in 2027. It will be the company's first-ever Mania show outside of the USA and Canada. Therefore, it has left the fans divided on the Stamford-based promotion's decision. However, for AEW, it leaves an opportunity to take the April slot and do a big show in the USA against WWE.

Speaking on a recent media call to promote the 2025 All Out PPV, Khan said that they are planning to host a huge event in the Spring of 2027. He believes that the initial few months of 2027 will be a glorious time for All Elite Wrestling.

“I have a lot of interest in it. I can promise we’re going to run a huge event in the spring of 2027. I think spring 2027 is going to be a great time for AEW.” he said [H/T: SEScoops]

The AEW President did not officially confirm which event they are planning to produce in the Spring of 2027. He hinted that they might be planning to move Revolution to that time as a big event for the company.
