When will WWE return to Saudi Arabia?

WWE hasn't been back to Saudi Arabia since February 2020- a month before the global lockdown began. To begin with, WWE's deal with Saudi Arabia seems to be clouded in controversy.

There aren't much details known about the nature of the lucrative deal, but it's enough for WWE to host massive stadium shows twice a year and even bring back several legends such as The Undertaker, Goldberg, Brock Lesnar, Triple H, etc.

Now that the world is slowly opening up again, WWE is going to start a tour. However, with regards to the Saudi Arabia deal, WWE is reportedly expected to return this fall, per Mike Johnson of PWInsider:

"With the world starting to open up and World Wrestling Entertainment beginning to tour again, we have been asked by several readers if and when the company might resume doing their Saudi Arabia events. We are told by company sources that the early expectation is that they will finally return to Saudi Arabia this fall, but an official date has not been locked in yet. The expectation is that they will run one event there before the end of the year."

We hope this isn't true because it seems to be a bit too early to return. We're curious as to whether WWE will be open about the details of their deal in Saudi Arabia, but it seems unlikely to happen.
