WWE has recently opened an office in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Ruwaida Al Duhaish, the WWE Operations Manager in Riyadh,
wrote on her LinkedIn that she was thrilled to see their new
office come to life and she’s proud to have contributed to
turning this vision into a reality.
“More than just a workplace, this office marks a key step in
strengthening our presence in the MENA region – bringing us
closer to our partners,” she said.
WWE announced yesterday that WrestleMania 43 will be heading
to Saudi Arabia in 2027, an announcement which did not go
over very well with online fans. The press conference was
held at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas hotel and casino
yesterday in the presence of the Chairman of the General
Entertainment Authority, Turki Alalshikh.
The company is in its eighth of the 10-year deal with the
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, a deal which calls for two premium
live events per year amounting to $50 million each.
