The road to the Royal Rumble has just gotten a whole lot more interesting, as SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis confirmed that the Undisputed WWE Championship will be defended at the Premium Live Event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on January 31.
WWE Championship to See Action in Riyadh

According to a WWE insider, “The company wants to put on a show-stopping main event in Riyadh, and they’re considering several options for the challenger. With a number of talented superstars in the running, it’s anyone’s game at this point.”
Top Contenders Begin to Emerge
As the stakes continue to rise, a number of top contenders have begun to position themselves for a shot at the Undisputed WWE Championship. Names like Cody Rhodes, Kevin Owens, and Seth Rollins have all been mentioned as potential challengers, although sources close to the situation suggest that the company is looking at a few darker horses as well.
“Cody Rhodes has been doing everything right for weeks now,” revealed a source close to the American Nightmare. “He’s been dominating on SmackDown, and his in-ring performance has been some of the best we’ve seen all year. It wouldn’t be a shock to see him step up to face Roman Reigns for the title in Riyadh.”
Royal Rumble Implications
The Royal Rumble itself is shaping up to be one of the most unpredictable events of the year, with a number of surprises and twists already in the works.
