WWE Crown Jewel remains scheduled in Saudi Arabia as concerns continue about travel and security in the region.
According to Fightful Select, the current plan is still to hold the November 7 Premium Live Event in Riyadh. The report notes that several WWE staff members and talent have expressed unhappiness about proceeding with the trip.
Fightful also reports that WWE is in regular communication with its hosts about the situation. The update does not identify the people who raised concerns or indicate that a decision has been made to relocate the show.
WWE previously announced Riyadh Season Stadium at KAFD as the venue for Crown Jewel. The company has continued promoting the event while questions about the regional security situation have remained part of the discussion.
An earlier report from WrestleVotes on Fightful Select stated that a backup venue in the United States was ready if needed. The location was not identified, and that report did not say WWE had decided to use it.
For now, Riyadh remains the reported plan for Crown Jewel. Any change to the event’s location would require a further update from WWE.
