Pro Wrestling Sheet reports that WWE boss Vince Mcmahon is hopeful that the company can shoot another special in Saudi Arabia before the end of 2020.

The exact wording McMahon used was that "it's possible" WWE will travel to Saudi again before calendars turn to 2021. Earlier in the same shareholder's conference call, Vince had noted that the promotion has "tentative dates" with various arenas around the United States too, although things are obviously far from being confirmed due to the ongoing health pandemic.

It's clear that McMahon wants to get WWE back on the road as soon as possible.

WWE last ran Saudi Arabia in February. That event, Super ShowDown, was criticised for being another unenjoyable exercise that padded wallets without really giving fans what they wanted - such criticism has been a recurring theme with these Saudi specials since WWE started doing them in 2018.

When asked about the chances of WWE getting crowds in buildings for shows in Florida, Vince said, "Let me just say there’s always a B-plan. I don’t want to say right now exactly what that would be, but yes there is a B-plan".
