Status of upcoming WWE shows in Saudi Arabia under discussion
The ongoing conflicts in the Middle East may have prompted WWE to discuss its upcoming two shows in Saudi Arabia.
Our Bryan Alvarez recently noted that there have been discussions about the two WWE shows in Saudi Arabia this year, as well as next year’s WrestleMania 43 in Riyadh. Alvarez emphasized that although there have been discussions, no decision has been made yet.
Alvarez also made it clear that he was not reporting on anything that had already been cancelled or was getting cancelled in the future, and was instead emphasizing the discussions that took place in WWE about their upcoming show status in KSA.
Earlier this year, WWE successfully held the Royal Rumble 2026 PLE in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on January 31, 2026. Two more unnamed WWE PLEs are also planned to take place in Saudi Arabia later in May and November. Both of these events are set to be followed by next year’s WrestleMania 43.
