So is Elimination Chamber a Saudi Arabia event now?

[agent817]

With Elimination Chamber having been announced as the next Saudi Arabia show, I wonder if this is going to now be exclusive to Saudi Arabia. Some people on here had said that the name is inappropriately named if it's taking place in Saudi Arabia. Did WWE decide to do away with Super Showdown? I know that event didn't have the best track record, except for maybe 2018's show, but that took place in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. I don't see another "Greatest Royal Rumble" event again. I think that was just a one-off.

So is Elimination Chamber exclusive to the SA shows now?

Well, it always was, It's just WWE branded now.

I doubt it's an every year thing; they're just dangling a big, impressive gimmick in front of the Saudis to show they're bringing their A game and tons of value to the deal. I wonder if maybe it even has something to do with the numbers of part-timers they have available for the show; not enough Attitude Era names can go so they're throwing on a giant cage instead. It'll probably be a domestic show in 2023 again.

I don't think there's much that is hard and fast with these events outside of, say, Crown Jewel.

We'll see next year.

Think it’s because they’re playing catch-up considering they lost a couple of years of Saudi shows and as a result, can’t really do the whole “here’s a glorified house show” thing. So if they find a slot in their calendar in between tours, they’re going to fit a Saudi show there.

Whether that means it’ll be consistent or we’ll be back to “normal” before long, who knows?

Dont think so. They can do Hell in a cell there too next year
