Summary
WWE announced that its Night of Champions premium live event will be held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on June 27. The event was previously canceled due to the conflict between the US and Iran, but a ceasefire was brokered. WWE also confirmed that WrestleMania 43 will be held in Riyadh in 2027, the first time the event will be held outside the US.
Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script. WWE events are always held in Saudi Arabia, despite the conflict in the Middle East. The company’s president, Nick Khan, said they will still hold WrestleMania next year in Saudi Arabia, despite complaints from a “vocal minority”. The event has been a fruitful partnership for WWE, but it’s hard not to wonder if the politics will ever clash with the sport.
