Triple H Asks Crowd In Riyadh If They Want To See NXT In Saudi Arabia, Says He'll Talk To Shawn Michaels

Triple H says he'll see what they can do.

WWE's latest trip to Saudi Arabia marks a progression in their relationship, as WWE Raw will emanate from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on November 3rd. This marks the first time that WWE Raw will be held in Saudi Arabia. WWE previously held the May 24th episode of WWE SmackDown in Jeddah.

Speaking at WWE Crown Jewel Kickoff, Triple H discussed WWE Experience in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. He then highlighted how passionate the fans at WWE's shows in Saudi Arabia had been over the years.

“WWE Experience is amazing. This is one of those things, I feel like for any true fan of WWE, you gotta come here at least once and experience this. It’s amazing. To go in and have ‘Taker make fun of you while you’re stuck in his maze over there is incredible. This whole place is off the chart. It all speaks to the vision of his excellency, of bringing us here. This is our twelfth time here, it’s an incredible experience every time, and it gets more and more incredible every year because of all of you. When we first started coming here, it was good, but every year, you get louder and louder, and your passion for WWE shines through, so thank you very much," Triple H said.

The crowd later chanted "NXT", and Triple H asked them if they wanted to see NXT in Saudi Arabia. When they cheered, he said that he would talk to Shawn Michaels and see what they could do.

“Who wants to see NXT here in Saudi Arabia? [Crowd cheers] I’ll talk to Shawn [Michaels] and see what we can do," Triple H said.

NXT typically holds shows at the WWE Performance Center, but they went on the road for the first two episodes of the CW Era in October 2024.
