The next WWE premium live event from Saudi Arabia will be a
brand new King and Queen of the Ring, with the popular
tournament being brought back as a stand alone event.
The show will take place from Jeddah on May 27 during
Memorial Day weekend, one day prior the AEW pay-per-view
Double or Nothing.
While WWE held a WWE King and Queen of the Ring tournament in
2021, matches took place on TV shows with the finals then
held at the Crown Jewel show, also in Saudi, in October of
that year. Xavier Woods and Zelina Vega were crowned King and
Queen that night.
This will be the first of two premium live events from Saudi
Arabia for 2023 as part of WWE’s 10-year agreement with the
Kingdom. WWE gets around $50 million for each show presented
in Saudi Arabia from the Saudi government
