WWE plans to turn WrestleMania 43 into a national event in the United States, even though both nights of the show will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

On Monday, the company confirmed it will hold official watch parties in cities across the country. Some of the events will take place at major commercial venues and select Cosm locations, a company known for its immersive sports broadcasts. The cities have not yet been announced.

New York City will be the main hub for WWE’s activities in the country. The Infosys Theater, located inside the Madison Square Garden complex and holding a capacity of around 5,600, will host watch parties on both nights of WrestleMania 43.

The broadcast will include large LED screens, sponsor activations, official merchandise sales, and other experiences for fans. WWE will also team up with Fanatics to organize interactive attractions and special stores spread around New York throughout the weekend.

Once each night of WrestleMania wraps up, fans at the Infosys Theater will stick around for a live show. NXT Stand & Deliver will run on one of the two nights, while AAA will present the first-ever Eternal Glory on the other. The order of the two shows has not been set.

The time difference between Riyadh and the East Coast will allow the watch parties to take place in the afternoon, with the NXT and AAA shows taking place during their traditional nighttime slot in the United States.

WWE has not yet announced the exact dates for WrestleMania 43, start times, ticket prices, or the additional cities that will host official watch parties. More information will be released in the coming months.
