WWE Night of Champions comes to you live from Riyadh’s Kingdom Arena in Saudi Arabia on Saturday, June 28. Night of Champions is the first WWE PLE to emanate from the Kingdom since November’s Crown Jewel—and the lead-up to the event has been nothing short of controversial.
For those unaware, some members of WWE production crew found themselves stuck at the Qatar airport due to airspace closure triggered by US-Iran tensions. Fortunately, cooler heads prevailed and brought the situation under control.
A most recent update regarding Night of Champions suggests that the PLE will air as scheduled, with WWE talent having already departed Florida for the Middle East on a chartered flight. Having said that, here’s how you can watch the show:
