Overview
- Maurice Shortall, a Kilkenny councillor, publicly urged Ireland on Thursday to mount a credible bid for a future WrestleMania, citing tourism gains and global exposure.
- Reporting points to Dublin’s Croke Park as the likely Irish venue because it can hold more than 80,000 fans for major events.
- Nashville has reportedly offered $3.5 million plus tax breaks for WrestleMania 44 in 2028, with the Tennessee Titans’ new Nissan Stadium viewed as the probable site.
- WWE has confirmed WrestleMania 43 for Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, marking the first edition held outside the United States or Canada and signaling openness to non‑North American hosts.
- Ireland has hosted WWE TV shows, including a Raw in January 2026, but has never held a premium live event, which requires a formal bid and significant funding to handle stadium logistics and visitor demand.
