WWE to have three PLEs in Saudi Arabia in 2026, but only one in 2025

TKO Chief Financial Officer Andrew Schleimer revealed yesterday during the TKO earnings call with investors that WWE will be having three premium live events in Saudi Arabia in 2026.

The plan for three events next year will differ from this year, with only one Saudi premium live event set on the 2025 calendar, with Schleimer saying that it will have a hit of approximately $55 million in company revenue.

WWE has already announced that next year’s Royal Rumble will take place from Riyadh, the first time that the Rumble will happen outside North America.

During the same conference call, TKO Chief Operating Officer Mark Shapiro said that the company is also close in negotiations with the Kingdom to launch a boxing league where TKO would operate and promote but it would be owned by Saudi Arabia.
