WWE has locked down the plans for its return to Saudi Arabia.
Deal
Last year’s first Saudi show was Night of Champions in May, followed by Crown Jewel in November. The company has a 10-year partnership with the Saudi General Sports Authority, and WWE is paid big money to host two events in the country per year.
News broke this week that WWE was looking at May for a return to the country. In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reported that the plan is for the show to be held on May 25th, the day before AEW Double or Nothing.
