When the McMahon family relinquished control of WWE by selling it to Endeavor in 2023, it shocked the entire wrestling world. Now, Jonathan Coachman claims the promotion may be sold again, this time to Saudi Arabia, with whom it has a strong partnership.

Back in 2018, WWE reached a landmark 10-year agreement with the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Sports. Since then, their bond has grown to the point that this year the global giant promoted its massive premium live event, the Royal Rumble, in Riyadh.

If that wasn’t enough, next year’s WrestleMania 43 will also be held in the Middle Eastern country, which shows just how fruitful the partnership has been. Jonathan Coachman It is now claimed that there are rumors in the background that the company may be sold to Saudi Arabia.

talking about his coach and brother In the program, the coachman said wwe It’s been testing the waters lately, and it could be a full sale next year when they head to Saudi Arabia for WrestleMania 43.

“The whole purpose of having the Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia in January, which is this month now, is a test to see how Saudi Arabia handles it, holding PLEs and things of that nature. And then, 15 months later, when WrestleMania comes to the same country, it would be the ideal time (to take over). It becomes something that not only you and I talk about, but it’s actually talked about backstage in WWE,” said Jonathan Coachman. (H/T – TJR Wrestling)

Vince Russo thinks Triple H is preparing for upcoming WWE release

On the same podcast, Vince Russo also gave his thoughts on the situation. Rosseau firmly believes Triple H The praise from Saudi Arabia is not without merit and he is preparing the wrestling world for the country to establish complete control over the promotion.

“In that photo you just showed, there was a quote from Triple H that I believe was in, where he talked about all the great things that were going on with Saudi Arabia. He specifically said that, and when I read that quote, I thought… they’re laughing at it now. Now we see The Office, now he’s talking about the great things that are going on with Saudi Arabia. I think they’re slowly but surely getting people used to that,” Russo said.

This is pure speculation at this point, as neither WWE nor Saudi Arabia have explicitly teased a potential sale.
