Despite travel warnings against going to Saudi Arabia, WWE
Crown Jewel is still set to take place in Riyadh on November
7.
A few days ago, the King Khalid International Airport in
Riyadh was hit by strikes from Yemen’s Houthi forces, with
the U.S. Department of State raising the travel risk status
to Saudi to Level 3.
It’s very rare that WWE cancels shows based on situations
like this and considering the amount of money in play, WWE
will likely push forward to host Crown Jewel in Riyadh.
The show is still 45 days away and a lot can change along
the way, but one way or another, Crown Jewel will take place
somewhere due to contractual obligations WWE has with both
Netflix and ESPN.
