Preparations are underway for WWE Night of Champions, and fans have already gotten an early look at the stage setup inside the venue.
WWE heads to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, this weekend for Night of Champions, which takes place at Kingdom Arena. With the event being held internationally, fans in the United States will need to tune in earlier than usual, as the premium live event begins at 1:00 p.m. ET. The show will stream live on Netflix for international viewers, while ESPN+ will carry the broadcast in the United States.
Ahead of the event, several clips shared by fans on social media have revealed that production crews are putting the finishing touches on the set. One video offers a clear look at the stage, showing multiple vertical LED screens positioned behind the ring entrance, giving fans their first glimpse of the show’s presentation.
The clip was accompanied by the following caption:
“Wrestling is art and spectacle. The current WWE stages are far removed from that concept.”
While the full stage has yet to be unveiled, WWE is expected to complete its setup before Saturday’s premium live event.
