The future of WWE’s Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia has been clouded with uncertainty—but now, a major global development could shift the situation entirely.
On June 25, 2025, President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to announce that Israel and Iran have reached an agreement to end the conflict that’s been threatening the Middle East—and WWE’s travel plans.
“CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE! It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE (in approximately 6 hours from now… for 12 hours, at which point the War will be considered, ENDED!”
Trump went on to label the conflict as “The 12 Day War,” crediting both sides for showing restraint and ending the fighting before it spiraled further.
“This is a War that could have gone on for years, and destroyed the entire Middle East, but it didn’t, and never will!”
While Trump’s post celebrates an apparent breakthrough, the reality on the ground for WWE remains complicated. As previously reported, most of WWE’s crew has already been in Saudi Arabia for over a week preparing for Night of Champions. However, five production staff members remain stuck in Doha, Qatar due to regional airspace closures that followed escalating tensions, including Iran’s attacks on a U.S. military base in Qatar.
With the ceasefire reportedly in place and civilian air travel expected to resume, there’s renewed hope that WWE will be able to execute Night of Champions as planned. The company has yet to issue a formal statement, but sources close to WWE say setup at the venue is still moving forward.
Whether this latest ceasefire holds—and how it impacts WWE’s final travel logistics—remains to be seen.
Should WWE keep pushing forward with Night of Champions now that the ceasefire is in place, or do you still think it’s too risky? Please share your thoughts and feedback in the comment section below.
