WWE is making moves for 2025 with a major show planned for Jeddah in June. This would mark WWEs first June event in Saudi Arabia since 2019s Super Showdown, and it could be the only WWE event in the Kingdom next year.
According to Fightful Select, sources close to the situation have only heard of one Saudi Arabia event for 2025, breaking WWEs recent trend of hosting multiple shows annually in the region, except for the COVID years of 2020 and 2021. While details remain scarce, this event could set the stage for WWEs growing partnership with Saudi Arabia, leading up to the groundbreaking Royal Rumble in Riyadh in January 2026.
WWE President Nick Khan emphasized the companys global expansion strategy, stating, WWE is a global enterprise, and it only made sense to expand our relationship with the Kingdom by bringing one of our biggest annual events to Riyadh in January of 2026.
The June show in Jeddah could offer a preview of whats to come as WWE continues to deliver large-scale events in Saudi Arabia. With the Royal Rumble breaking new ground the following year, 2025s plans could serve as an essential step in the companys global efforts.
