WWEs deal with Saudi Arabia was lampooned when they first inked the decade-long deal. They are still committed to bringing the best sports entertainment possible to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, but the company is switching things up for the next two years.
WWE has brought big events to Saudi Arbaia, even reinventing a classic like King of the Ring. Now, the company is looking toward the future, and that includes more events in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
During WWEs 2024 earnings call, TKO CFO Andrew Schleimer announced that the company will hold one premium live event in Saudi Arabia in 2025, and this is down from two they held in 2024. This change is expected to impact WWEs financial outlook.
WWE has not yet announced details for its 2025 Saudi Arabia event. However, the 2026 Royal Rumble is scheduled to take place in Saudi Arabia in January, marking the first time the event will be held outside North America.
Since 2019, WWE has held two events in Saudi Arabia each year, with the exception of the COVID-19 pandemic years. However, the companys schedule for these events is set to change in the coming years.
This will give fans a lot to look forward to when it comes to WWE bringing big events to Saudi Arabia. Only time will tell if Saudi ever gets a WrestleMania event, but it seems plausible after they have secured the Royal Rumble in 2026.
