WWE Raw to Be Taped in Saudi Arabia

WWE is set to make history by hosting its first-ever episode of Monday Night RAW in Saudi Arabia, coinciding with the WWE Crown Jewel event. The announcement was made by Turki Alalshikh, Chairman of the Saudi General Entertainment Authority, who confirmed that RAW will be taped on Sunday, November 3, and air on Monday, November 4. This marks a significant expansion of WWE's partnership with Saudi Arabia, which has included numerous events since 2018. The Crown Jewel event is scheduled for November 2, and both shows will be part of the Riyadh Season. Previously, WWE held a SmackDown episode in Saudi Arabia earlier this year, but this will be the first airing of their flagship show. The events are expected to feature a strong lineup of wrestlers and highlight Saudi Arabia's growing role in international sports entertainment.
