Fans who have already purchased tickets will be contacted directly and will receive either a new ticket with the same seating designation or a refund.

WWE has a strong TV presence in Saudi Arabia with its flagship weekly shows, WWE Raw® and WWE SmackDown®. WWE Raw is broadcast on MBC and the Abu Dhabi Sports Channel, and WWE SmackDown can be seen on OSN.

The event also represents a significant milestone for FLASH Entertainment headquartered in Abu Dhabi who, alongside their local Saudi partners Time Events, has worked with WWE to bring WWE LIVE™ events to the Middle East.

“Time Events & FLASH Entertainment respect the local traditions of the market and are focused on bringing the highest-quality, global entertainment to the Kingdom, starting with WWE Live in April,” said Ahmed Mashhadi, Managing Director, Time Events. “WWE’s fans are our number one priority, and we will work to ensure they have a spectacular experience.”
