The Saudi Arabia shows, not listed, tentatively scheduled for February and October for WWE as best I know
The company has found much success in Saudi Arabia, as seen by the conclusion of Crown Jewel. A pay-per-view which saw a number of high profile matches, including Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns, as well as a Triple Threat between the likes of Becky Lynch, Bianca Belair and Sasha Banks.
WWE put on a heck of a show at Crown Jewel this year
WWE Crown Jewel was the company's first pay-per-view back in Saudi Arabia following the COVID-19 pandemic. The last event they held was the 2020 version of Super ShowDown which took place in February.
The event was a huge success and featured an amazing match card, with the likes of Roman Reigns facing Brock Lesnar, Drew McIntyre challenging WWE Champion Big E and even a Hell in a Cell match between Edge and Seth Rollins. Despite some of the recent criticisms of WWE, they put on an incredible show on that night. One that truly went beyond most people's expectations.
The pay-per-view left the WWE Universe with a difficult decision to make regarding the match of the night.
