WWE Crown Jewel has been moved to a new venue, Riyadh Season announced on X on October 28.
“We would like to inform you that ‘WWE Crown Jewel’ has been moved to a new venue. All ticket holders will receive a full refund, and tickets will be re-released to everyone within the next 48 hours,” the statement read.
The show is set for November 7 and was originally scheduled for Riyadh Season Stadium in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The statement did not name the new venue, but the show is reportedly staying in Riyadh.
Fightful Select reported that the announcement came as a surprise inside WWE, with people at WWE headquarters first learning of the change from the Riyadh Season post.
Several events have moved out of Saudi Arabia following attacks in Riyadh, including one that closed the city’s airport. TKO CEO Ari Emanuel said WWE was monitoring the situation. The Wrestling Observer reported that WWE could lose up to $90 million if the show does not take place in Saudi Arabia. WWE also has a backup venue in the United States ready, according to WrestleVotes.
