5 WWE legends who have never wrestled in Saudi Arabia
By Brandon Ewing Modified 13 Sep 2022 Follow Us 1 Comment Share There are several WWE Legends who have never wrestled in Saudi Arabia. WWE has made more than a few trips overseas to Saudi Arabia for “Super Showdown” and “Crown Jewel” events, respectively. These events are seen as a huge deal for the company, drawing huge cash from an attendance and ticket sales standpoint. WWE has had some legendary matches, such as Edge vs. Seth Rollins, and also matches that were great on paper but didn’t deliver as expected (Goldberg vs. The Undertaker, D-Generation X vs. The Brothers of Destruction). However, more than a handful of WWE Legends have appeared at Crown Jewel and Super Showdown but never wrestled in front of fans in Saudi Arabia. Today, we look at five of the biggest WWE Legends and/or Hall of Famers of all time who have never wrestled in the country.#5 – WWE s Most Electricfying Man in Sports Entertainment - The Rock
The Rock has wrestled in front of millions of fans across the world, but never in Saudi Arabia. “The Most Electrifying Man in Sports Entertainment” is also one of the most captivating and entertaining Superstars of all-time. The Rock is semi-retired from the wrestling business, outside of the occasional appearance in WWE either live or via satellite. The Rock’s last official match to date for WWE was a squash match at WrestleMania 29 against Erick Rowan. Despite rumors of him competing at WrestleMania 39 against "The Tribal Chief" Roman Reigns, nothing has been confirmed as of writing.#4 – The Nature Boy Ric Flair
"The Nature Boy" Ric Flair wrestled in his last match in July 2022 “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair recently retired from the wrestling business and is likely to never step foot inside a wrestling ring again. But did you know there were talks at one point about Flair wrestling in Saudi Arabia for Crown Jewel? During the 2019 build-up to Crown Jewel, both Flair and his longtime rival, “The Immortal” Hulk Hogan, were building towards a huge 10-man tag match, with each legend choosing 5 WWE Superstars to represent each other at the event. At one point, there was a discussion internally of having both Hogan and Flair compete in the match (or at least get physically involved) but those plans were off the table courtesy of Vince McMahon, who feared for Flair’s health due to his pacemaker.#3 – The Immortal Hulk Hogan
Could you imagine "Hulkamania" running wild in Saudi Arabia? “The Immortal” Hulk Hogan has unofficially retired from the wrestling business, having wrestled his last official match to date back to 2010 against Sting at TNA’s Bound for Glory event. However, Hogan suffered multiple back surgeries that rendered him incapable of wrestling at the same level he could before. As mentioned above, there were plans for Hogan and Ric Flair to at least be physically involved in the 2019 WWE Crown Jewel, but those plans never materialized. Hogan would still make an appearance for the event but never performed inside the WWE ring in Saudi Arabia.#2 – Kurt Angle
