WWE’s Next Saudi Arabia Event May Not Happen

TLDR

WWE's planned July premium live event in Saudi Arabia is unlikely to happen according to Dave Meltzer, who reports that most within WWE believe the show won't move forward unless circumstances change due to risk concerns. The uncertainty extends beyond the July event to WWE's other scheduled Saudi Arabia shows this year and WrestleMania 43 planned for Riyadh in 2027, with Meltzer noting that big events scheduled for the country are not happening across various sports. While nothing has been officially cancelled or decided, the situation could represent a significant financial setback for WWE given the lucrative nature of their Saudi Arabia partnership that began in 2018.
