For the first time since 2014, Sami Zayn is set to wrestle in Saudi Arabia. 

Zayn and Kevin Owens are scheduled to defend the WWE tag titles against Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa at Night of Champions from Jeddah on May 27. 

In 2019, our own Dave Meltzer reported that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia requested Zayn not be on WWE shows from the country due to his Syrian heritage. Zayn's parents immigrated to Canada from Syria in the 1970s before he was born.

Diplomatic relations between Syria and Saudi Arabia broke down in 2011 following the Arab Spring movement and the Syrian civil war. The Arab League suspended Syria's membership on November 16, 2011 and Syrians were prevented from traveling to Saudi Arabia. 

Sami took part in a house show tour from the region in 2014 but has not performed in the country since WWE and The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia entered a multi-year agreement in 2018. 

Earlier this month, The Arab League voted to reinstate the Syria's membership. Syrians, including Zayn, are once again permitted to travel to Saudi Arabia, opening the door for him to perform on WWE shows from the region. 

Our own Dave Meltzer provided an update on the situation on Wrestling Observer Radio. 

Meltzer said:

Kevin and Sami are wrestling Roman and Solo Sikoa and that's going to be one of the two main events for the Saudi show on the 27th. And what basically happened there was, I guess, Saudi Arabia has opened up to where Syrians can come in, so, Sami can come in and decided that he would go and when Sami decided he would go, Kevin decided that if Sami is going to go he'll go too. 

Owens was entered into 2018's Greatest Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia but hasn't performed in the country since. 

Meltzer continued:

When the thing started, women weren't allowed to go. It's not just WWE but it's with other products as well. As more western products have gone to Saudi Arabia, they have allowed them to be what they are and WWE being no different.
