A recent report sheds light on WWE's upcoming plans for Saudi Arabia in 2025, and fans won't want to miss the developments!

In a notable announcement, WWE has confirmed that the Royal Rumble will take place in Saudi Arabia in January 2026. This marks the first major event in the region since the RAW episode following the Crown Jewel event in Riyadh last November. However, it remains unclear if WWE will host any other shows in Saudi Arabia before the Royal Rumble event next year.

According to Sean Ross Sapp from Fightful, there will likely be only one WWE event in Saudi Arabia in 2025, with a target date set for June in Jeddah. This adjustment comes after WWE had successfully hosted two shows annually since their partnership with Saudi General Entertainment Authority began in 2019. The COVID-19 pandemic had temporarily disrupted this routine, but WWE has since returned to a regular schedule.

Triple H’s Insight into WWE’s Growing Relationship with Saudi Arabia

Ahead of WWE’s Crown Jewel event, Triple H shared his thoughts on WWE's evolving relationship with Saudi Arabia during an interview with Nathalie Mamo. His reflections reveal a partnership that has grown in significance and ambition.

"We love this partnership here," Triple H stated, emphasizing how the journey began with the desire to introduce premier entertainment to Saudi audiences. "Initially, fans were excited but uncertain about what to expect. Over time, I've witnessed extraordinary growth in that excitement."

Triple H proudly recalled a historic moment: "We had the first women's match here in Saudi Arabia. We went from asking, 'Can we bring women here?' to seeing them featured prominently on billboards throughout the city. The General Entertainment Authority, along with His Excellency, even reached out to us, asking for more female representation in our shows. This demonstrates the remarkable progress in Saudi Arabia and showcases the power of WWE as a truly global brand."

As WWE continues to cement its role in Saudi Arabia, fans are left wondering what other surprises are in store as they establish a more unified and diverse approach in their programming. Stay tuned for more updates, as WWE's influence grows dramatically in this pivotal region!
