WWE CROWN JEWEL POST-SHOW NEWS AND NOTES

By Mike Johnson on 2021-10-21 18:16:00

Those who spoke to within WWE was really thrilled with today's Crown Jewel PPV as the feeling was it was one of the better major shows they have produced over the last year.  I would concur with that assessment.

For those who asked, The Undertaker was not at today's PPV.  He was in Saudi Arabia to introduce Pitbull at a concert last night and that was it.

2020 Olympic silver medalist in Karate Tarek Hamdi, who appeared as a surprise helping Mansoor on the PPV, was said to have absolutely fallen in love with the entire process and showmanship of WWE today and there were some who believed he'd be getting a look by the company in the future when he's done with competing in karate.  

We are told that this time around in Riyadh, talents had more freedom to explore a little and go out to eat.  They had a bowling alley and movie theater privately at their disposal as well.

Perhaps in keeping with the storyline, Paul Heyman flew to Saudi Arabia with Roman Reigns and The Usos on a private plane. 

The word going around was that they would return to Saudi Arabia in the first quarter of 2022, but no official date yet.

Adam Peace, TJ Wilson (Tyson Kidd) and the former Abyss, Chris Park, were there working as Producers. 

Titus O'Neil and Natalya were brought in for community outreach events.

Everyone is slated to fly out within the next few hours in order to arrive in time for tomorrow's Smackdown taping in Wichita.  The Raw brand talents will be heading home once they touch down in the States.
