WWE is about to cash in even harder on its controversial deal with Saudi Arabia and the schedule for 2026 is proof.
According to Fightful Select, WWE is locked in for three premium live events in Saudi Arabia next year, marking the biggest expansion yet for the company in the region.
The first event already has fans talking the 2026 Royal Rumble is officially set for Riyadh this January. But thats just the start. The report claims two more Saudi PLEs are on the table, with tentative dates set for May and November 2026.
That November date has sparked plenty of speculation about the future of Survivor Series, one of WWEs biggest annual shows. Traditionally held on Thanksgiving weekend in the U.S., WWE insiders told Fightful that if Survivor Series does head to Saudi Arabia, the company would move it off of Thanksgiving weekend, explaining they couldnt see talent being sent on an international trip over the holiday.
WWE currently has a contract to hold two Saudi shows per year, but clearly, thats not stopping the company from going bigger and stacking their international presence even more.
Production for the Royal Rumble is expected to ramp up in the coming weeks, kicking off what looks to be WWEs most aggressive Saudi schedule yet.
