There is concern within WWE about traveling to Saudi Arabia for Crown Jewel, according to WrestleVotes Radio.
WWE announced on September 1 that Crown Jewel will take place November 7 at Riyadh Season Stadium in Riyadh. The U.S. Embassy in Saudi Arabia currently has a Level 3 travel advisory in place, telling Americans to reconsider travel to the country due to the risk of Iranian drone and missile targeting of American interests, armed conflict, terrorism, exit bans, and local laws on social media activity.
According to the report, several people in WWE who regularly travel to Saudi Arabia for these events have asked about the possibility of the show being rescheduled. One source said WWE has not formally addressed the situation with staff, and people in the company are under the impression WWE will move forward with the event unless it is told it cannot.
Crown Jewel is set to feature champion vs. champion matches in both the men’s and women’s divisions. Riyadh Season is also scheduled to host WrestleMania 43 in 2027.
