Date On When WWE Plans To Return To Saudi Arabia

WWE entered a 10-year working relationship and partnership with the Saudi General Sports Authority in 2018 and has since been holding two Premium Live Events per year in the country, which the company is paid big money to do so. WWE held their first Premium Live Event in the Kingdom of Saudia Arabia this 2023 last month, with the Night of Champions show and with the company previously announcing Survivor Series for Saturday, November 25 from inside the Allstate Arena in Chicago, Illinois, that leaves the month of December open for a Premium Live Event in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, but WWE hasn’t held a Premium Live Event in the month of December for a few years now.

According to Brandon Thurston of WrestleNomics, WWE’s next Saudi Arabia show is planned for Saturday, November 4th, but there’s no word yet on what the show will be called and where it will emanate from, though WWE’s Saudi Arabia show in the month of November is usually called Crown Jewel and the Premium Live Event usually emanates from Riyadh or Jeddah. It was also noted that the WWE airs a live episode of WWE Friday Night SmackDown the week prior to the Premium Live Event and tapes the following week’s show the exact same night immediately after the live episode due to talents having to fly out several days prior to the Premium Live Event due to the long flight to Saudi, so we can expect the November 3 episode of WWE SmackDown to be taped on October 27.
