Saudi Arabia aims to host a significant WWE premium live event soon. As per an ESPN report by Mike Coppinger, a strategic agreement between Riyadh Season and the UFC will lead to extending the partnership between the two organizations. Turki Alalshikh, the chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority, revealed plans to organize a major UFC event in Riyadh and enhance Saudi Arabia’s existing deal with WWE.
Alalshikh expressed interest in having Saudi Arabia host either the Royal Rumble or WrestleMania, saying, “We will do big things with the UFC and TKO.” WWE has been organizing premium live events in Saudi Arabia since 2018, and the recent formation of TKO through the merger with UFC in September 2023 has created more opportunities for collaboration.
Further information on this collaboration will be shared as it unfolds. Keep an eye out for updates.
