WWE is reportedly planning to return to Saudi Arabia sooner rather than later.
WWE last held an event in Saudi Arabia with Crown Jewel on November 4, 2023. Per Mike Johnson of PWInsider, the company is targeting late May for their next premium live event in Saudi Arabia. This would line up with the 2023 schedule, when the company held Night of Champions in Jeddah on May 27.
WWE Night of Champions 2023 featured a tag team bout where Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa faced Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. Plus, Seth Rollins battled AJ Styles in the finals of a tournament to crown the new World Heavyweight Champion.
WrestleZone will provide more information as it becomes available.
Nick Khan On WWE’s Goal To Become A Global Localized Product
During the latest TKO earnings call, WWE President Nick Khan highlighted how the company hopes their deal with Netflix will help them become a global localized product.
“For us, a global localized product has always been a priority,” Khan said. “We think Netflix helps us with that. If you look at the premium live event schedule for this calendar year; Perth, Australia this past weekend. Berlin, France, Riyadh, Canada, all over the world.
“Look for, down the road, more local stars from those markets as we expand our tryouts to international markets so we feel confident over time that will be covered and be part of the Netflix deal.”
