WWE hosted a handful of events at Saudi Arabia from past few years since 2018 but last year it didn’t take place due to pandemic outbreak. Now, WWE is looking to host an event at Saudi Arabia this year.
WrestleVotes reported that two sources close to WWE told them that the company had plans of organizing an event at Saudi Arabia before the end of 2021.
Two WWE sources indicate that an event in Saudi Arabia prior to the end of 2021 is very much on the table.

It’s been a year for pandemic outbreak and restrictions has been slowly lifting across the country. So, it’s very likely that WWE may plan to travel Saudi Arabia once again but it all depends on the future situations at the Saudi Arabia.
WWE’s ten year deal with Saudi Arabia started with The Greatest Royal Rumble PPV in 2018, in which we saw 50 men Royal Rumble match won by Braun Strowman and awarded with special trophy.

Then, WWE hosted Crown Jewel in 2018, in which we saw WWE World Cup tournament won by Shane McMahon. Crown Jewel 2019 was the final PPV hosted at Saudi Arabia, in which The Fiend defeated Seth Rollins to win WWE Universal Title. Then, WWE planned for another event in 2020 but cancelled due to Covid-19 outbreak.
