WWE announces Night of Champions 2025 for Saudi Arabia

This will be WWE’s first event in the country this year. Their last show was November’s Crown Jewel event, where Cody Rhodes successfully defended the WWE title against Gunther.

Night of Champions will also mark the first time that WWE will hold a show at the Kingdom Arena. Opening last year, it has already been home to a UFC on ABC event as well as several boxing matches including Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou back in October. 

WWE has already announced that for the first time ever, the Royal Rumble will be held in Saudi Arabia in January of 2026. While a 50-man ‘Greatest Royal Rumble’ previously took place in the country, it was not the traditional Royal Rumble match where the winner gets to headline WrestleMania.
