He will defend his title once again at the WWE Super Showdown in the desert kingdom against Dolph Ziggler.
The Champion spoke of a connection he felt with the Saudi Nation and his eagerness to be back in the country.
“I have told this story before but before we ever had a show there, I went there for promotional work,” said the 37-year-old. “I was there for seven days and it was one of the greatest experiences of my WWE career.
“It was great meeting and talking to fans and people there who had dreams of WWE coming to their country.
“Now you fast forward four or five years later and we have events now in Saudi that are just so big and I have witnessed the growth.
“To be a part of that is really special and every time we go to Saudi, I look forward to that. The energy is of the charts and it is about putting smiles on people’s faces. I can’t wait to go back.”
