WWE Night Of Champions Expected To Take Place Outside US

WWE is going international

Of late, WWE has begun hosting more shows outside of its home turf, the USA.

In 2025, the company hosted its PLE Night of Champions in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The city is quickly becoming a staple for PLEs as the high-profile Royal Rumble PLE was also held in Riyadh on Jan 31st this year.

WWE has also pushed its global envelope by hosting Raw and SmackDown shows across Europe early this year, and new reports say they will begin a European Summer Tour at the end of May and the beginning of June.

WWE International PLE Dates Revealed

The Clash in Italy PLE is set to take place on May 31st at the Unipol Arena in Bologna, Italy. This marks WWE’s return to Italy for a major event. In 2024, the company held a similar tour leading into Backlash France, which saw record-breaking gates for the promotion.

Following this, the next PLE on their calendar is Night of Champions.

BodySlam.net reports Night of Champions is tentatively scheduled to take place in Saudi Arabia on June 27th. The event is expected to be held in Jeddah, which will continue WWE’s long-term partnership with the Saudi General Entertainment Authority.

WWE will also be hosting WrestleMania 42 in Riyadh once again, as these shows in Saudi Arabia have proven to be major financial drivers for the company.

Here is the list of confirmed PLE dates and venues for this year so far.

Feb 28: Elimination Chamber (Chicago, IL)
April 19-20: WrestleMania 42 (Las Vegas, NV)
May 9: Backlash (Tampa, FL)
