RIYADH: WWE has officially announced that the upcoming premium live event in Jeddah, 萝莉视频 will now be 鈥淣ight of Champions,鈥� set to take place on Saturday, May 27 at the Jeddah Superdome. 

The event, initially billed as 鈥淜ing and Queen of the Ring,鈥� will now feature a series of WWE title matchups to be defended in one night next month.

鈥淣ight of Champions鈥� marks the second premium live event to be held in the Kingdom after the 鈥淓limination at Chamber鈥� took place at the same venue in February of last year. It will be the ninth event that WWE has held in 萝莉视频 under a 10-year partnership with the General Entertainment Authority in support of Saudi Vision 2030.

Historically, it is also the 10th 鈥淣ight of Champions,鈥� the event in Jeddah reviving a series that had previously been held annually from 2007 to 2015.

The event will showcase top-tier talent from WWE鈥檚 Raw and SmackDown brand divisions, as the organization continues to enjoy an eventful year.

Vince McMahon has returned as executive chairman of WWE, and the sports entertainment juggernaut recently merged with UFC to form a new publicly traded company controlled by Endeavor Group. WWE has a market valuation of about $6.5 billion, while Endeavor has a market cap of about $10 billion.

The recent WrestleMania 2023 held at SoFi Stadium in California was the most successful one ever for the flagship event. The two-day extravaganza delivered the streamer鈥檚 highest weekend usage ever and generated the most hours watched of any live event on Peacock with the exception of the Super Bowl, according to NBC Universal. The event also had the most social media engagement with over 500 million views online.

WrestleMania 2023 also had the largest live audience in the history of the series with 161,000 at SoFi Stadium generating over $21.6 million in ticket sales.
