Saudi pro wrestling fans will be treated to three days of the entertainment sport when WWE LIVE debuts in the Saudi capital Wednesday.

Three WWE Live shows will be held at the Green Halls Stadium in Riyadh and the line-up, which is subject to change, includes John Cena, Randy Orton, Mark Henry, Ryback and Kofi Kingston among others, according to several WEE press releases.

Abu Dhabi-based FLASH Entertainment and their local Saudi partners Time Events both worked with WWE to bring WWE LIVE to the Middle East.

“WWE’s fans are our number one priority, and we will work to ensure they have a spectacular experience,” Ahmed Mashhadi, Time Events managing director, said, according to a late January WWE press release.

“Holding three live events in Saudi Arabia for the first time is a testament to the growing demand for WWE’s brand in this region,” said Gerrit Meier, executive vice president, International, WWE, according to a December WEE press statement.

The event had been set to debut earlier in February but was rescheduled to mid April in order to accommodate the annual ceremony for the national Al Janadriyah Heritage and Cultural Festival that took place at the Green Halls Stadium.
