WWE Reportedly Returning To Saudi Arabia After Evolution PPV

[Captain Stud Muffin (BLM)]

It looks like WWE may return to Saudi Arabia during the first week of November for their second show under a new 10 year deal with the Kingdom.

WWE recently rescheduled two live events from the upcoming European tour to May 2019, according to PWInsider. The October 31 show in Stockholm, Sweden has been rescheduled to May 11 and the November 1 show set for Oslo, Norway has been moved to May 12.

We mentioned this past April that WWE would be returning to Saudi Arabia for an event later this year. According to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Saudi officials believe that the date for the next event will be Friday, November 2. This would be just a few days after the all-women's Evolution pay-per-view on October 28. A November return for WWE would be interesting because George Barrios noted during a WWE conference call that the shows with the Saudis would be annual. WWE ran their first show under the 10 year deal back in late April, the Greatest Royal Rumble.

News from yesterday but I didn't see it on here or maybe I overlooked it. Anyway, guess the women get some time off after the fact though this seems to be just a live show if anything since WWE aren't hyping it up and they have the show in Australia coming up too

As usual their travel schedules are crazy

In the bright side I guess the woman get to spend some time home?

a true women's Revolution indeed taking place in WWE

[chronocross]

Would it be a house show or another GRR-like event?

Another GRR event. The Saudi government need Bread and Circus.

That’s why, when it comes to the Women’s Revolution, just be happy for the ladies, themeselves. When it comes to WWE Corporate, it’s all just marketing.

100%. WWE's glad-handing and pro-WWE nonsense? f*** it all to hell. The women who get the opportunities that let them be bigger stars, achieve their dreams, and probably move more merch for being actually present and credible parts of the show? That part doesn't stay there. I just wish some people could better understand that difference and not assume any positivity about WWE's women is just eating out of the corporate slop bucket.

The reason they're paying so much is for the propaganda. WWE gives them a global audience.

Or maybe I'm wrong.

Pretty much, yeah. It was sealed by the videos they showed about Saudi Arabia.

Including “Hey! Last year we let women DRIVE!”

[Tenshigure]

The real reason why they're doing this is just so they can continue 'Battle of the Brands' with Creed and Prince Pretty, don't lie to me WWE!

Seeing Creed’s reaction to Pretty stealing Eddie Guerrero from him is the best $100m Saudi Arabia’s ever spent.

Should we contact Snickers?

[Pushed to the Moon]

Some say the King Of Saudi Arabia started the men's revolution.

[Hit Girl]

Better call Yokozuna and Ultimate Warrior.

[MiLB Fan]

PWInsider says that the show is happening on November 2.

Actually, someone in the Saudi family suddenly wants Nikolai Volkoff.

[KAMALARAMBO: BOOMSHAKALAKA!!!]

Since it’s in November will this be the Greatest Survivor Series with teams of 6 vs. 6?
