WWE will seemingly return with the Night of Champions premium live event chronology later this year in Saudi Arabia. For weeks now, fans have been trying to find out the whereabouts of the next Saudi show since WWE usually hosts two such events in the Middle Eastern country in a calendar year.
Speculation intensified after the annual Crown Jewel premium live event, a pendant Saudi show, was announced from Australia for the very first time. In an update, a report from Bodyslam.net affirms that WWE will be hosting Night of Champions 2025 in June, with the premium live event locked in for Saturday, June 28, in Saudi Arabia.
The report was first published through the PWNxBodyslam Discord as it stated that the go-home SmackDown edition for the Night of Champions 2025 premium live event will go down the night before on Friday, June 27. It’s still unclear whether Monday Night Raw following the PLE will also be taped from the country like WWE did during their 2024 trip.
Reason WWE Draft 2025 Isn’t Officially Announced Despite Being In Schedule
As such, Night of Champions 2025 will be the second time that WWE will host the annual premium live event since reviving the tradition two years ago. In 2023, WWE re-inserted the PLE into the calendar after a gap of eight long years. However, it was dropped from the schedule last year to be replaced with the WWE King & Queen of the Ring PLE.
Furthermore, WWE is looking to squeeze Night of Champions 2025 neatly between Money in the Bank in early June and SummerSlam in early August, making the month of June a packed month for the company’s global fans. If reports are to be believed that early July will also witness the cult PLE, Evolution’s return to the calendar, to the delight of the female WWE talents.
