CROWN JEWEL/SAUDI ARABIA UPDATE

By Dave Scherer on 2018-10-14 13:18:00

On the official WWE.com page for the 11/2 Crown Jewel event, all references to it taking place in Saudi Arabia have been removed.  The event has been scheduled to take place in Saudi Arabia, but after the report that the country murdered Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi, who had spoken out against the government, there has been pressure on the company to not run the event in that country.

As of right now, no official decision has been made as to whether they will pull out of the country but it's interesting that, at least for now, WWE has stopped mentioning Saudi Arabia on their site.
