WWE is gearing up for a massive expansion in Saudi Arabia this yearand it could mean a serious revenue boost.
According to a new report from Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter on January 23, 2026, WWE is planning to hold three Premium Live Events in Saudi Arabia this yeara major shift following just one event in 2025.
WWEs partnership with the Saudi General Entertainment Authority began in 2018 and has typically included two massive shows per yearuntil the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the schedule. In 2025, only Night of Champions took place in the Kingdom, breaking from that two-event tradition.
Now, WWE appears to be making up for lost ground. With Royal Rumble set for January 31, 2026widely believed to be carrying a higher-than-usual site feeand two more Saudi events on deck, the promotion is on pace for a blockbuster financial year.
No dates have been officially confirmed for the remaining Saudi shows, but fans should expect announcements soon as WWE finalizes its global Premium Live Event calendar.
