Brett Lauderdale on His Doubts That Indies Wrestling Will Be Part of WrestleMania 43 Week in Saudi Arabia

Fightful held a recent interview with Game Changer Wrestling owner and promoter Brett Lauderdale. One of the topics discussed included Lauderdale’s thoughts about his belief that it is highly doubtful that GCW and other indies promotions will travel to Saudi Arabia and be part of WrestleMania 43 week in 2027.

“Of course there’s been discussions about all of those options. Saudi Arabia, of course is not realistic and I highly doubt that anything is going to be happening over there in an indie wrestling level. But there’s tons of possibilities and options that have been floated and I’ve heard lots of things that both include us and don’t include us, meaning other people also planning for a weekend of that magnitude.”

Lauderdale also gave his thoughts about how its is hard to make any plans without an actual concrete date for WrestleMania 43.

“It’s really hard to plan anything without knowing a date, which as you said, they haven’t given us even a date yet. So it’s super hard to start planning a location or start putting anything together when you don’t know when it’s going to happen. Of course I know who I would want to work with. I know how we would want to do it, but it’s all just tentative until we have something firm to plan around. I think something will happen. I just don’t know what it’s going to be and where it’s going to be yet.”
