A press release issued by the Saudi Arabia General
Entertainment Authority chief Turki Alalshikh revealed that
Raw will take place in Riyadh later this year when the
company goes over for the yearly Crown Jewel show.
The Crown Jewel premium live event will take place on
Saturday, September 2 and the press release says that the
events will be back-to-back, meaning that Raw on November 4
will be a taped episode which will be recorded the day
before.
“The WWE Crown Jewel & Raw show, set to take place over two
consecutive days, this event will be one of the global
events hosted by Riyadh Season this year, carrying on its
annual tradition featuring a stronger lineup of wrestlers
within the most powerful, comprehensive, and diverse
entertainment season in the world,” the press release
states.
WWE already held Smackdown before the King and Queen of the
Ring premium live event in May and the company often tapes
Smackdown when they go for overseas PLEs, but Raw is always
held in North America.
Alalshikh announced that Riyadh Season 2024 will host 11
world championships and 10 exhibitions and festivals.
