The WWE is returning to the UAE in December with an event on December 7 at Zayed Sports City Tennis Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
Headlining the roster of talent due to compete is Roman Reigns, who in April, when he was part of the main event at WrestleMania 33 with the Undertaker, became only the fifth man after Hulk Hogan, the Rock, Triple H and John Cena to be in the final match at three successive WrestleManias.

Other Superstars advertised to appear are Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose, Braun Strowman, Bray Wyatt, Finn Balor, Cesaro and Sheamus, with more talent due to be announced nearer the time.
