What events have WWE held in Saudi Arabia, show history and main events
WWE returns to Saudi Arabia this week as they host 2024's Crown Jewel show from the Mohammed Abdo Arena in Riyadh.
This year they will crown the first-ever WWE Crown Jewel champions as both Raw and SmackDown's top title holders go head-to-head. WWE Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes will take on WWE World Champion Gunther, and WWE Women's Champion Nia Jax clashes with WWE's World Champion Liv Morgan.
It will be the twelfth event held in Saudi Arabia, with WWE now hosting two shows a year in the Middle Eastern country.
When was the first WWE show in Saudi Arabia?
WWE signed a 10-year strategic partnership with the Ministry of Sport in 2018, which would see the hosting of Premium Live Events in Saudi Arabia.
The inaugural event was the Greatest Royal Rumble. Held on April 12 2018, it was a spin-off from WWE's annual Royal Rumble event and saw Braun Strowman win the main event match.
Since then, WWE have made two visits a year to the country hosting a series of 'Crown Jewel' standalone shows as well events that are part of the company's PLE calendar.
