Speaking on Sportskeeda's The Wrestling Time Machine show, Long stated that the decision was likely financially motivated. He noted that Vegas was a tourist city and fans could base their trip around attending WrestleMania.

"Well, you got a year to worry about it. It's only going to run that one time once a year, and people are gonna come into Vegas all through the year, 24/7. It's a tourist city. So I think you know, people are in and out, so I think it's a good idea because I believe that every year there are some people that are gonna be in Vegas that weren't there last year, they didn't see WrestleMania. And it's gonna get so big and talked about so much, so a lot of people are gonna say Hey, let's go to Vegas. We can gamble and, of course, go to WrestleMania," said Teddy Long.

The promotion signed a ten-year deal with Saudi Arabia in 2018. It will be interesting to see if any other major WWE events are held in Saudi Arabia following the news of WrestleMania 43.
