Since 2018, the WWE have hosted two events a year in the country, starting from the Greatest Royal Rumble. The last event there was the Super ShowDown back in February last year. The pandemic prevented the company from travelling. However, it seems that a return to the country may soon be on the cards.

Will the WWE resume their Saudi Arabia shows?

According to a tweet from the Saudi General Sport Authority’s Ministry of Sport, the country are re-opening for soccer games. While this does  not necessarily mean that the WWE will travel to the county this year but with sporting events limited since last year due to the pandemic, this is good news for the promotion.

This also falls in line with a previous report by Wrestlevotes, who claimed back in April that multiple WWE sources were indicating that a return to Saudi Arabia was “very much on the table” before the end of 2021.

“Multiple WWE sources were indicating that a return to Saudi Arabia was “very much on the table” before the end of 2021. “

The WWE and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia announced in 2018 that they were entering into a 10-year strategic multi-platform partnership to support the Saudi Vision 2030 initiative; which is the Kingdom’s social and economic reform program.

Five events have since taken place, with the deal requiring WWE to stage two events in the country every year.
