On Thursday, WWE announced Night of Champions will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on June 27, 2026.
The event will air internationally on Netflix and on the ESPN Unlimited App in the U.S.
Payout Perspective:
The news comes at a time where the mid-east is unstable. The U.S./Israel-Iran conflict continues despite political maneuvers. Despite the event being two months away, there has to be uncertainty and contingencies on what to do if the region becomes a safety concern for the talent. Yet, TKO is in the making money business. With Wrestlemania scheduled to be in the region next year, TKO seems beholden to continue the partnership with KSA despite the instability.
