WRESTLING RUMORS: Update On WWE’s Return To Saudi Arabia

Mark your calendars. It’s a new year and that means it is time to see what is coming up next on the wrestling schedule. WWE has a lot of shows to run, with some of their bigger ones coming early in the new year. Day One is already out of the way and we are on the Road to WrestleMania, but now we might need to get ready for one heck of a big out of the way trip.

According to Andrew Zarian of the Mat Men Podcast, WWE is heading back to Saudi Arabia for its next event at some point in February. The show is expected to be held on Saturday, February 19 as it would continue WWE’s new trend of major events being held on Saturdays. WWE was last in Saudi Arabia for an event on October 21, 2021 when they presented Crown Jewel.

WWE has a history in Saudi Arabia. Check out some of the company’s time in the country:

Opinion: This is something that is just going to be taking place for a long time to come. A lot of fans are not going to be pleased and that makes sense, but ultimately this is something that does WWE a lot of good financially. It is what does the best business for them, though it would be nice if the shows themselves were a bit higher quality. Maybe the next one can change, but there isn’t much reason to get your hopes up.

What do you expect from the show? How well will it go? Let us know in the comments below.
