Since 2018, WWE has held premium live events in Saudi Arabia. WWE generally visits the country a least twice a year but because of the COVID-19 pandemic, they only did one event in 2020 and one in 2021. However, there have been several groundbreaking moments in Saudi Arabia with women competing in the Asian country which is a huge deal. Moreover, some cards in Saudi Arabia have been full of star power with several of WWE's top-tier talents getting a hefty paycheck.

Whilst, there have been some memorable matches in Saudi Arabia with the likes of Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar going head-to-head, and Bayley facing off with Bianca Belair in a Last Woman Standing match are some matches that are fondly remembered. However, there have been multiple matches in Saudi Arabia that some fans have forgotten about because of other high-profile matches at various Saudi Arabia events.
10 Ronda Rousey & Naomi Vs. Charlotte Flair & Sonya Deville - Elimination Chamber 2022
Despite Elimination Chamber 2022 taking place a year ago, it's easy to forget that the winner of the 2022 women's Royal Rumble match Ronda Rousey teamed up with Naomi. They collided with the SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair and Sonya Deville, who had her arm in a sling all thanks to the Baddest Woman on the Planet.
Rousey had one hand tied behind her back and it was the first time that she had competed in Saudi. Nevertheless, fighting with one arm didn't deter Rousey in the slightest as she forced Deville to submit to the armbar to pick up the victory for herself and Naomi.
9 The Undertaker Vs. Rusev - Greatest Royal Rumble 2018
The Undertaker was scheduled to face Chris Jericho in a casket match at the Greatest Royal Rumble 2018, which was WWE's first premium live event in Saudi Arabia. However, the six-time WWE World Champion was replaced by Rusev.
Undertaker dominated this forgotten casket match as expected, and Rusev's ally Aiden English didn't hesitate to give the Bulgarian Brute a helping hand. Ultimately, the Demon of Death Valley triumphed and he put both Rusev and English into the casket.
8 Team Hogan Vs. Team Flair - Crown Jewel 2019
Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair were rivals during their WCW days in the '90s but at Crown Jewel 2019, they were captains of their respective teams in a forgotten 10-man tag team match. Going into battle for Hogan's team were Roman Reigns, Ricochet, Mustafa Ali, Shorty G, and Rusev. They were pitted against Flair's team comprised of Randy Orton, Bobby Lashley, Drew McIntyre, King Corbin, and Shinsuke Nakamura.
This match lasted almost 20 minutes and there was nothing noteworthy that happened in this match with Team Hogan victorious as Reigns executed the Spear on Orton.
7 Bayley Vs. Naomi - Super ShowDown 2020
Bayley and Naomi made history at Super ShowDown 2020 as their SmackDown Women's Championship match was the first time that a WWE Women's Championship was being defended in Saudi Arabia. Naomi was seeking her third SmackDown Women's Championship reign in an average match with the Role Model.

This was the penultimate match of the night, and Bayley connected with her patented Bayley-to-Belly but Naomi kicked out. Nonetheless, the Rose Plant was enough for Bayley to continue her reign as SmackDown Women's Champion.
6 Alexa Bliss & Asuka Vs. Damage CTRL - Crown Jewel 2022
On the Raw before Crown Jewel 2022, Alexa Bliss and Asuka combined to dethrone Damage CTRL's Dakota Kai and Iyo Sky for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship. However, five days later, Damage CTRL were looking to regain their titles, and it was a historic match as it was the first time that the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship was being defended in Saudi Arabia.
This match is forgotten about as Roman Reigns and Logan Paul's match for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, and their Damage CTRL stablemate Bayley's Last Woman Standing match with Bianca Belair for the Raw Women's Championship was memorable. It was a competitive Tag Team Championship match with Kai and Sky regaining their titles with outside interference from Nikki Cross.
5 AJ Styles Vs. Humberto Carrillo - Crown Jewel 2019
Humberto Carrillo won a 20-man Battle Royal on the pre-show at Crown Jewel 2019 earning the right to face AJ Styles for the WWE United States Championship. Carrillo is an underrated wrestler and this is one of the biggest matches in his WWE career going toe-to-toe with the two-time WWE Champion.
Styles wasn't at ringside alone as his O.C. stablemates Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows were in his corner. It was a valiant effort from Carrillo, but it was no surprise that Styles was going to retain his US Championship with the Phenomenal Forearm.
4 Jeff Hardy Vs. Jinder Mahal - Greatest Royal Rumble 2018
Fans won't be able to recall Jeff Hardy defending the WWE United States Championship against Jinder Mahal at the Greatest Royal Rumble 2018. The pair of former WWE Champions' match was underwhelming, and the pair lacked chemistry.

There were several botches which hampered the quality of the match. Hardy failed to connect with the Whisper in the Wind and Mahal still dropped to the ground which was hilarious. Despite the botches, Jeff managed to hang onto his US Championship with the Swanton Bomb.
3 Lars Sullivan Vs. Lucha House Party - Super ShowDown 2019
Lars Sullivan clashed against the Lucha House Party in a three-on-one handicap match at Super ShowDown 2019. WWE had big plans for Sullivan to become a monster heel, but it failed to materialize. Nevertheless, despite the Lucha House Party having the two-man advantage they were no match for Sullivan.
Surprisingly, Sullivan didn't get the clean victory as he won by disqualification as all three members of the Lucha House Party attacked him. Ultimately, Sullivan got the last laugh as he attacked the Lucha House Partya after the match.
2 Angel Garza Vs. Humberto Carrillo - Super ShowDown 2020
Angel Garza and Humberto Carrillo are real-life cousins. They contested a forgettable match at Super ShowDown 2020. Both Garza and Carrillo should have been bigger stars considering they are technically sound inside the squared circle.
Unfortunately, their one-on-one meeting isn't remembered despite having a good match but they fought a plethora of times before this. Nonetheless, Garza got a win over his cousin with a rollup.
1 Brock Lesnar Vs. Ricochet - Super ShowDown 2020
Another forgettable match at Super ShowDown 2020 was Brock Lesnar's WWE Championship match with Ricochet. This could have been a good match had Ricochet been allowed to showcase his potential, but it wasn't meant to be.
The Beast Incarnate executed a trio of German suplexes in succession, and an F-5 was enough for Lesnar to get the job done by retaining the WWE Championship by hardly breaking a sweat in just 90 seconds.
