Below are a couple of top WWE news stories of the day, featuring Royal Rumble 2026 and Tiffany Stratton.
• In 2026, the annual Royal Rumble premium live event will take place outside of North America for the first time ever.
According to PWInsider, multiple sources have confirmed to them that WWE Royal Rumble 2026 will take place in Saudi Arabia:
“We are told the deal to take the event to Saudi is locked in and that an official announcement could come as soon as this Monday’s RAW Netflix premiere.
WWE bringing one of their most important events of the year to Saudi Arabia would be their largest scale undertaking in that country to date and certainly opens the door for other ‘top five’ events, including WrestleMania, to one day emanate from The Middle East.
It will also likely spark a lot of discussion, given the scrutiny the company has received over the relationship in some circles.”
