The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia obtains the Royal Rumble 2026, apparently showing an evolution of the relationship between the Kingdom of the Middle East and WWE. While Saudi Arabia will welcome one of the four large ples next year, in 2025, the company temporarily fell back into Saudi shows.
In the call of the results of the fourth quarter, the financial director of Tko Group Holdings, Andrew Schleimer, said that the company would be only one pled in Saudi Arabia in 2025, but that there will be three in 2026, which includes the Royal Rumble. It has not been announced when the Saudi full of 2025 takes place, and the date of the Royal Rumble 2026 has not yet been announced. Schleimer said that fewer Saudissements in 2025 will have an “unfavorable impact” on the company’s revenues up to $ 55 million. Until 2025, WWE had directed two Ple in the kingdom per year since the start of the agreement between the company and the Saudi General Sports Authority in 2019.
WWE has increased the number of international ples in recent years. Where Saudi Arabia was the only location for non-North American international ples, the company has since organized events in Scotland, Wales, Paris, Berlin, Perth and the American territory of Puerto Rico. WWE should return to Paris on August 31 for confrontation in Paris to Paris La Defense Arena, which is the only other international announced for the year outside the Mars elimination event in Toronto, and the still annual Saudi show
