WWE, an American professional wrestling promotion based in Stamford, Connecticut, United States, has been promoting events in Saudi Arabia since 2014. After initially holding non-televised house shows, in 2018 WWE announced a 10-year strategic partnership with the General Sports Authority (GSA), which would include the hosting of pay-per-view (PPV) events in Saudi Arabia. WWE announced on November 4, 2019 that it had "expanded" its partnership with the General Authority for Entertainment through 2027, under which it would hold two "large-scale events" in the country per-year. These events have been held at venues in either the capital city of Riyadh, or Jeddah.

  • WWE, an American professional wrestling promotion based in Stamford, Connecticut, United States, has been promoting events in Saudi Arabia since 2014. After initially holding non-televised house shows, in 2018 WWE announced a 10-year strategic partnership with the General Sports Authority (GSA), which would include the hosting of pay-per-view (PPV) events in Saudi Arabia. WWE announced on November 4, 2019 that it had "expanded" its partnership with the General Authority for Entertainment through 2027, under which it would hold two "large-scale events" in the country per-year. These events have been held at venues in either the capital city of Riyadh, or Jeddah. The first event in the agreement was Greatest Royal Rumble—a spin-off from WWE's annual Royal Rumble PPV—on April 27, 2018. In November of that year, WWE held a second PPV in Saudi Arabia, Crown Jewel. Beginning in 2019, WWE began to regularly hold two PPVs in Saudi Arabia per-year, with one Super ShowDown event in the first half of the year, and Crown Jewel in late-October or early-November. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and WWE's suspension of touring, Crown Jewel was not held in 2020, nor was Super ShowDown held in 2021. Crown Jewel would return in 2021, and Super ShowDown was replaced in 2022 by Elimination Chamber—marking the first time that WWE had hosted one of its previously-established PPV events in Saudi Arabia. The partnership has faced criticism over Saudi Arabia's poor human rights record (including its suppression of women's and LGBT rights), the country's use of sport to direct public attention from it, as well as the 2018 assassination of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Some WWE performers have declined to participate in the Saudi shows due to objections over the government's policies. Due to the aforementioned restrictions on women's rights, members of WWE's women's division did not perform in the Saudi shows until Crown Jewel in 2019, where Natalya and Lacey Evans participated in WWE's first women's match in the country. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter gave the relationship between WWE and Saudi Arabia their annual "Most Disgusting Promotional Tactic" award in both 2018 and 2019, the first time in history it has been given twice to the same maneuver. WWE's Saudi shows also took the publication's "Worst Major Wrestling Show" for three consecutive years, including 2018's Crown Jewel, and the 2019 and 2020 Super ShowDown respectively. (en)
  • WWE, американский рестлинг-промоушн, базирующийся в Стамфорде, Коннектикут, США, проводит мероприятия в Саудовской Аравии с 2014 года. В отличие от обычных шоу WWE, женщинам-рестлерам было запрещено появляться на мероприятиях, проводимых в Саудовской Аравии, до 2019 года. Многие мероприятия в стране, проводимые WWE, подвергались критике из-за проблем с правами женщин, ЛГБТ, и прочими нарушениями прав человека в Саудовской Аравии. Это осудили такие активистские группы, как Code Pink, и несколько политиков. Wrestling Observer Newsletter присудил отношениям между WWE и Саудовской Аравией ежегодную награду «Самая отвратительная рекламная тактика» в 2018 и 2019 годах, впервые в истории дважды вручив ее одному и тому же событию; лауреатом награды «Худшее крупное шоу рестлинга» также ежегодно с 2018 года становится мероприятие WWE в Саудовской Аравии ( 2018 года, 2019 года и 2020 года соответственно). 4 ноября 2019 года WWE объявила о «расширении» своего партнерства с Главным управлением развлечений до 2027 года, в рамках которого она будет проводить в стране два «масштабных мероприятия» в год.
