WWE’s ‘Night of Champions’ Returns to Riyadh This June
WWE confirms ‘Night of Champions’ will take place at Riyadh’s Kingdom Arena on June 28th, featuring both SmackDown and Raw talent as part of its long-running Saudi partnership.
The road to glory runs through Riyadh as WWE’s biggest stars gear up for a showdown at ‘Night of Champions’ 2025. WWE has officially announced that ‘Night of Champions’ will return for its 2025 edition at the Kingdom Arena on Saturday, June 28th.
This will be the 11th edition of the ‘Night of Champions’ pay-per-view series and marks WWE’s latest appearance in Saudi Arabia following previous events such as ‘Crown Jewel’ and ‘Elimination Chamber’. The 2025 card is expected to feature top-tier talent from both the ‘Raw’ and ‘SmackDown’ rosters.
In the lead-up to the main event, an episode of ‘Friday Night SmackDown’ will be broadcast live from the same venue on June 27th, marking the first time ‘SmackDown’ airs from the Kingdom Arena.
The promotional trailer released on WWE’s social media platforms included a brief glimpse of CM Punk. Although WWE has not officially confirmed his participation, the cameo has fuelled speculation about a possible in-ring return.
Both events will stream live worldwide, with coverage on Peacock in the United States and via Netflix and other platforms across the MENA region. Tickets are expected to be available soon via official Saudi ticketing channels.
The announcement continues WWE’s multi-year partnership with the Saudi General Entertainment Authority under the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 strategy to host major global entertainment events.
