Report: Date for WWE's Next Saudi Arabia Event Decided
After COVID-19 shut down international travel in 2020, WWE finally brought back its Saudi Arabia pay-per-views this past October with the Crown Jewel event in Riyadh. The decade-long deal between the promotion and the country will resume this year, and according to both Andrew Zarian of The Mat Men Podcast and Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, the next Saudi show has been slotted for Saturday, Feb. 19.
WWE kicked off its 2022 schedule with its first New Year's Day event, Day 1, this past Saturday at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta. The rest of WWE's announced pay-per-view schedule for 2022 includes:
