Update On WWE's Plans In Saudi Arabia This Year, Slightly Different Than Usual

Come on over? There are all kinds of WWE events throughout the course of the year and most of them are pretty much run of the mill. Those are the shows that WWE presents every year and there is only so much of note about them. On the other hand, WWE will occasionally present something with more of note, and that might be what we are going to see in a few months.

According to Fightful Select by way of Cagesideseats.com, WWE is only expected to present one Premium Live Event in Saudi Arabia this year. The event, currently untitled, is expected to be held in Jeddah in June. This comes after WWE has announced that the 2026 Royal Rumble will be held in Saudi Arabia. WWE has held events in the country since 2018, with the most recent being Crown Jewel 2024.

There have been some major shows in the country. Check out some of them over the years:

Opinion: This is a bit of a surprise as the company is changing its normal schedule of two events in the country every year. That being said, it very well might be due to the Royal Rumble coming to the location near year, as that is a major event rather than something unique for Saudi Arabia. I’m curious to see how this goes, though it’s likely to have the same baggage that all of the previous shows have had.
