The WWE confirmed on Wednesday that the company will return to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on June 7 for the third time as part of their 10-year partnership. Furthermore, WWE has announced that Goldberg, Undertaker and Brock Lesnar are all confirmed for the special event at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium.
WWE superstars such as Universal champion Seth Rollins, SmackDown Live champion Kofi Kingston, Roman Reigns, AJ Styles and Braun Strowman will all be making the trip to Jeddah.
WWE has not yet revealed any matches for the June 7 event but the recent story lines seem to dictate that Undertaker will be going up against Elias. The two superstars recently came face-to-face on the episode of Monday Night Raw immediately following Wrestlemania 35, but they have not squared off since then.
Goldberg has not competed in the WWE since dropping the Universal title to Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 33 in 2017.
Speaking of Lesnar, the Beast Incarnate last fought at Wrestlemania 35 on April 7, where he dropped the Universal title to Seth Rollins. Lesnar was reportedly mulling a return to UFC, but UFC President Dana White recently revealed that the former Heavyweight champion has decided to retire from fighting inside the octagon. Will he get his rematch against Rollins on June 7?
We expect to find out more details regarding WWE's plans for Saudi Arabia following the Money In The Bank PPV event on May 19.
