WWE Stars Left in the Dark as Night of Champions Plans Remain Unclear Amid Global Tension

Uncertainty continues to loom over WWE’s upcoming Night of Champions event in Saudi Arabia as global tensions rise. According to Fightful Select, WWE talent scheduled to travel for SmackDown and Night of Champions this weekend in Riyadh have not been given any updates regarding potential changes to the trip.

This report follows news of U.S. jets scrambling over Saudi Arabia, further fueling speculation about the event’s status. Wrestlers are still expected to fly out mid-week via chartered flight. Despite talk of possible fan events, everything remains unsettled. WWE insiders say the company is “figuring things out like everyone else.” Fightful also noted that talent no longer receives special bonuses for Saudi shows, as such pay is now built into contracts.
