Backlash won’t be the only WWE premium live event in May

WWE will be holding two premium live events next month. The sports and entertainment juggernaut will return to Puerto Rico for Backlash on the first Saturday of May. Then, on May 27, WWE Superstars will travel to Saudi Arabia for Night of Champions.

The event was initially called King and Queen of the Ring but was renamed Night of Champions. According to reports, WWE renamed the event to coincide with Roman Reigns’ 1000-day run as the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion.

It remains to be seen how Triple H will book the card for the May 27 premium live event. For now, The Game is focused on building a showdown in Puerto Rico.
