WWE is currently making preparations for their next Saudi Arabian event on November 5th. Crown Jewel will be a very big event, but the company isn’t finished holding huge shows in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The company inked a 10-year contract in 2018. They had to hold off on shows due to the pandemic, but those events will be tacked onto the end of their decade-long deal.
After Crown Jewel next month, WWE was planning to make their return to KSA in February 2023. We have been told that those plans have changed regarding exactly when they will return.
Ringside News was told by a tenured member of the staff that, “Saudi Arabia’s February date is being moved to May.” The company has not made any public announcement regarding this change.
WWE makes a ton of money off their controversial deal with Saudi Arabia. Even with Triple H taking control of the company’s creative direction, Nick Khan is still the co-CEO alongside Stephanie McMahon. With the kind of money WWE is raking in with this deal, it’s not a good idea to expect anything to change.
