WWE to return to Saudi Arabia in October
  • Video teasing the return of world wrestling’s biggest name to the Kingdom was released after the weekend’s WWE SummerSlam

WWE Crown Jewel’s highly anticipated return to Saudi Arabia has been confirmed for October of this year in a video teaser that was released after the weekend’s SummerSlam in Las Vegas.

“This October we return to a place that brings out the best for all the world to see,” the video said, over action footage of some of WWE’s biggest names, including Saudi superstar Mansoor.

WWE has already held three events in the Kingdom, starting with 2018’s Crown Jewel at King Saud University Stadium in Riyadh. This was followed by 2019’s Super ShowDown at King Abdullah International Stadium in Jeddah, which saw home favorite Mansoor win the 51-man Battle Royal.

Super Showdown returned to Saudi in February 2020, this time at the Mohammed Abdu Arena on the Boulevard in Riyadh.
