WWE will be returning to Saudi Arabia next month for their next international pay-per-view.

Reports surfaced over the weekend that WWE is expected to hold a pay-per-view on February 20, 2020 at an international location.

PWInsider has confirmed the report, indicating WWE is returning to Saudi Arabia, with an official announcement expected soon.

WWE’s last Saudi Arabian event was Crown Jewel in Riyadh. The event was plagued with controversy following flight delays which kept WWE talent stranded in the country.

It’s unknown if WWE plans to keep a portion of the roster stateside for Friday Night SmackDown the next day in Glendale, AZ.

WWE has an agreement with the General Sports Authority to run two events in the Kingdom yearly until 2028.
