The 2026 WWE Royal Rumble PLE will reportedly be taking place in Saudi Arabia

According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com, it has been confirmed with multiple sources in WWE that the 2026 Royal Rumble PLE will be taking place in Saudi Arabia. This will be the first time a Royal Rumble PLE (not counting the “Greatest” Royal Rumble) takes place outside of North America.

Johnson noted the following…

“We are told the deal to take the event to Saudi is locked in and that an official announcement could come as soon as this Monday’s Raw Netflix premiere. WWE bringing one of their most important events of the year to Saudi Arabia would be their largest scale undertaking in that country to date and certainly opens the door for other ‘top five’ events, including Wrestlemania, to one day emanate from The Middle East. It will also likely spark a lot of discussion, given the scrutiny the company has received over the relationship in some circles.”
