WRESTLING RUMORS: Monday Night Raw May Be Doing Something Brand New

It would be a first. Earlier this week, Monday Night Raw reached twenty nine years old, as the show made its debut on January 11, 1993. The show has been around for a very long time now and has been held in a variety of countries around the world. It is still the company’s flagship show and now there is a chance that they will be doing something else in a new area.

According to Andrew Zarian on the Mat Men Pro Wrestling podcast, WWE may film an episode of Monday Night Raw in Saudi Arabia when the company goes to the country in February. It is not confirmed if this will take place, as WWE will be returning to Saudi Arabia for an event on February 19, though they already have a Monday Night Raw scheduled for February 21 in Columbia, South Carolina. Monday Night Raw has never been held in Saudi Arabia.

This could be cool. Check out what happens when Monday Night Raw leaves America:

Opinion: I’m not sure if this is actually going to take place, but WWE’s results in Saudi Arabia have been more than a bit rocky over the years so far. The relationship may make for great business for WWE, but it seems that a lot of the wrestlers like being back in the United States. Maybe the South Carolina show will be moved, though that might wind up being moved to make things more interesting.

How would the show work in Saudi Arabia? How much different would it be? Let us know in the comments below.
